FAILED CONGO COUP AND ITS IMPLICATIONS
<p>Recently it seems like the world is a continuous series of political intrigue, I came online to find news about the failed coup attempt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo which involved about three American citizens.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>It was reported that gunfire erupted around 4 am in the capital Kinshasa as they attacked the presidency in the city centre. It was also reported that the leader of the opposition who was in exile in the United States, Christian Malanga was identified as being behind the attack and was reportedly neutralised during the assault.</p><p><br></p><p>This is a case that can become a huge diplomatic incident because it quickly draws up the dark history of political interference in the West. Especially at a time when the war between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Palestine has everyone cautious in picking sides.</p><p><br></p><p>It also shines a light on America's history of political interference in foreign countries in the past. Some of these include Hawaii, Panama, Honduras, and Nicaragua to mention a few.</p><p><br></p><p>It's amazing to think that citizens of a foreign nation can be seen as linked to a coup in a sovereign nation, but these are the realities we find ourselves in.</p><p><br></p><p>This situation shows that the lack of unity is an avenue that can be exploited at any time to break into a Nation's security structure. A position in which Africa has always found itself for the longest of time, though this is not exclusive to us only.</p><p><br></p><p>The US ambassador has released a statement expressing shock and assurance of their support in investigating the situation, it still is a bad look and I'm sure they will be eager to have the matter cleared up as it calls our attention to certain grim realities. As the matter progresses, I wonder if there would be penalties and if the UN would weigh in on the matter.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
