2:41Now PlayingIn the wake of a thwarted coup attempt in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) over the weekend, Congolese and foreign observers alike are expressing uncertainty about the future.
On Sunday, the Congolese army announced that it had foiled a coup attempt in Kinshasa involving both Congolese and foreign citizens — including three US nationals and a naturalized British subject.
A group of approximately 50 men in camouflage had allegedly attacked the residences of the prime minister, the defense minister and the likely future President of the National Assembly, Vital Kamerhe.
They later breached the Palais de la Nation in central Kinshasa, which houses the office of President Felix Tshisekedi.
The ringleader of the group, Christian Malanga, was shot dead after security forces moved in, along with three other assailants.
