  1. So basically what you’re saying is America Canada and in British supported the coup

    Did they denounce coup If not, then they basically supported it.

    Because when I was in Japan with family was probably I was 16 I’ve been told pacifically every year US citizen is basically representative in the country

    And your actions reflect poorly on the country you’re part of

    Sidenote, I’m not surprised a French news company is against this

  2. I seriously hope Congolese authorities tell them off … Africa / DRC cannot have Europeans or so called other Congolese influence their decision

  3. These people are not serious. You went to a foreign country to overthrow their government and you want the government to not do anything and just congratulate them?

  4. Belgium, USA, Canada, and every other countries cannot have a say in what Congo does. This is in fact the violation of Congo’s sovereignty over its territory.

  5. When Congolese people are killed amd you still our minerals theres no outrage you evil bastard's we have suffered enough we are tired of your greed you dont think Congolese people are human

  6. Fake news noone is outraged on congo you can see who funded the coup by the reaction of western propaganda networks

  7. So multiple western operatives went to the DRC and tried to stage a coup d'état and failed? And now they expect mercy?

  8. Congo law is Congo Law so APPPLY them!

  9. What did they expect
