Three US citizens sentenced to death in DR Congo for attempted coup

2024-09-15

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] Three citizens of the United States of America and one from Great Britain were among 37 people who were sentenced to death for an attempted coup in the Democratic Republic of Congo, The Guardian reports .

Recall, this was a project of Congolese emigré Christian Malanga, on which he took his son and one of his son’s school friends.

It is noted that among the accused there are also citizens of Belgium and Canada. They are accused of terrorism, murder and organizing a criminal community.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on May 19, the representative of the Armed Forces of the DR Congo, Sylvain Ekenge, reported that the Armed Forces of the DR Congo had prevented an attempt to carry out a coup d'état in the capital of the country, Kinshasa. According to him, the military detained all the participants in the plot. Later, the media reported that the uniforms of the detained and liquidated rebels had the flag of Zaire (the former name of the country). At the same time, the men spoke English, French and Lingala and claimed that they were "representatives of the diaspora."
Third try. Fred and badanov — there a bug somewhere that keeps erasing the content of this article.

To summarize, dear Reader:

This article reported more information about this story from yesterday. badanov usually keeps copies of the translations he does for us, so hopefully at some point he will copy/paste that in this space.
