Was there an attempted military coup in the DRC?, By Adeoye O. AkinolaSPECIAL REPORT: Enugu community where residents rely on polluted river, deplorable PHCINVESTIGATION: TETFund’s N3.8 billion training contract triggers procurement controversy, concernsWas there an attempted military coup in the DRC?, By Adeoye O. Akinola…the prospect of a successful coup in the DRC is inconceivable, as it would exacerbate the country’s insecurity and further destabilise the region.
Incidentally, the news of the attempted coup filtered into the public space three days after an edited volume titled,, was published. The 10-chapter book, edited by Adeoye O. Akinola, links military coups and bad governance and locates unconstitutional changes in government in historical and contemporary contexts. Since August 2020, African countries have experienced eight successful military coups.
Thus, the prospect of a successful coup in the DRC is inconceivable, as it would exacerbate the country’s insecurity and further destabilise the region. African peace, security, and democratic stakeholders must remain vigilant with regard to any ‘breaking news’ of attempted or successful military coups on the continent.
The branding of the assailants as ‘foreigners’ and accusing of external powers as orchestrating the ‘attempted coup’ aligns with the prevailing narrative of external influences shaping Africa’s political and security landscapes; however, it is implausible that such attacks could transpire without internal collusion. Consequently, the Congolese government must scrutinise its own security apparatus to prevent a recurrence.
