Mercenaries from the West and Israel…attempted the DRC coup and the leader was shot dead by the Republican Guard.
Christian Malanga, 41, leader of the US-based United Congolese Party, was killed as his "band of 20 armed men" tried to force entry into the Palais de la Nation, the official residence of President Felix Tshisekedi.
Malanga led the coup with his United States business partner in mining and cannabis ventures in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Mozambique in the early hours of Sunday.
Malanga's right-hand man was Benjamin Zalman-Polun from Maryland (US) identified in earlier reports as an American cannabis entrepreneur.
Malanga and Zalman-Polun were partners in mining ventures and the fast-growing electronic cigarette liquids sector. Zalman-Polun was also arrested alongside Malanga's 20-year-old son.
The politician was called fringe by News-24
