The residential palace of President Joseph Kabila was reportedly attacked by six gun- men. According to a DRC minister who spoke to CNN, the men were captured and subsequently killed. The minister adds that the event is an act of terror as opposed to a coup.
While not much is known about what transpired given that much of the information is coming from the DRC government, it is likely that the "coup" attempt will be used as a pretext for violent government crackdown on the opposition ahead of the upcoming presidential elections.
Suffice to say, the entire story sounds too amateurish to be plausible. How can six poorly armed men storm a presidential palace?
