SADC Condemns Attempted Coup In DRC

The Southern African Development Community (SADC) condemned an attempted coup in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on Sunday morning.

Government forces in the DRC announced that it had successfully thwarted an attempted coup involving foreigners and Congolese.

In a statement issued this Monday, 20 May, the SADC Secretariat condemned the attempted putsch and commended the DRC military for putting it down. Reads the statement:

The Southern African Development Community (SADC) condemns in its strongest terms the attempted coup d`état that happened on 19 May 2024 in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), after gunmen tried to attack the homes of senior officials of the DRC government including that of President Félix Tshisekedi.

While condemning this act of violence, SADC wishes to extend its appreciation to the DRC army for having arrested the perpetrators and ceased any escalation that could have occurred from this unfortunate incident.

DRC army spokesperson Brigadier General Sylvain Ekenge told Reuters, that the leader of the attempted coup was killed and some 50 people including three American citizens arrested. He said:

An attempted coup d’etat has been put down by the defence and security forces. The attempt involved foreigners and Congolese. These foreigners and Congolese have been put out of action, including their leader…

The armed forces of the DRC ask the population to go about their business freely and peacefully. The defence and security forces are in complete control of the situation.

Gunfire rang out around 4 AM in the capital Kinshasa, a Reuters reporter said. Ekenge was also reported as saying armed men attacked the presidency in the city centre.

Another attack took place at the nearby home of Vital Kamerhe, a member of parliament who is tipped to become speaker, Michel Moto Muhima, his spokesperson said on the X.

Muhima said two police officers and one of the attackers were killed in the shootout that started around 4:30 AM at the house on Tshatshi Boulevard.

Ekenge named Christian Malanga, a US-based Congolese politician, as the leader of the attempted coup.

Neo-colonization refers to the indirect control and influence exerted by powerful nations or corporations over weaker states or regions, often through economic, political, or cultural means. This phenomenon is a modern form of colonialism, where dominant powers maintain control without direct territorial possession. Some common features of neo-colonization include: 1. Economic dominance: Control over natural resources, markets, and trade. 2. Political influence: Shaping local policies, supporting puppet governments, or manipulating political systems. 3. Cultural imperialism: Imposing one's own culture, values, and beliefs on the dominated nation or region. 4. Technological dependence: Controlling access to technology, infrastructure, and knowledge. 5. Debt and financial control: Using ****s, debt, and financial institutions to maintain influence. Neo-colonization can be seen in various forms, such as: 1. Globalization and free trade agreements 2. Foreign aid and development programs 3. International financial institutions (e.g., IMF, World Bank) 4. Multinational corporations and their operations 5. Political and military interventions Critics argue that neo-colonization perpetuates inequality, undermines local autonomy, and reinforces global power imbalances. Proponents argue that it promotes economic growth, development, and global cooperation. The concept remains a topic of debate and critique in fields like political science, economics, and postcolonial studies.

@cdeMatanga, police general, your Junior members are leaving for greener pastures in huge numbers. Do not panic, let them go, quickly process their terminal benefits and take this opportunity to restructure the police service. When 50% of the manpower leaves replace them with the new blood but allow the remaining 50% to withdraw or borrow part of their provident fund so that they invest in post retirement projects which can even sustain them before they retire. The mass resignation of police members stimulates local investments from their terminal payouts and mari inombotendererawo.

there was never an attempted coup in DRC but this is meant to divert people's attention and a way of arresting opposition and to silence those perceived to opposition and get sympathy from brothers for life SADC.If America assist in a coup it never fails

@❌ don't create non existent scenarios just for the sake of opposing the government... The opposition failed to campaign.. It failed to field polling agents.... It failed to make a constitution... Its manifesto was an emotional one.... All those mistakes cost it dearly. SADC is not a lecturer on how to win elections.. If CCC or whatever other party wins, they'll be recognized by SADC. It just does recognize terrorist groups masquerading as political parties
