Egypt Condemns Attempted Coup in the Democratic Republic of Congo

On Tuesday, Egypt strongly condemned the failed coup attempt in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

in a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Egypt affirmed its support for the legitimate authority in the DRC and expressed solidarity with the Congolese government and people in their efforts to achieve stability and security.

The statement called on all parties to respect democratic and constitutional principles and to preserve the country’s state institutions and unity.

The Democratic Republic of Congo has a tumultuous history marked by political instability, conflict, and coups. The recent failed coup attempt adds to the series of challenges facing the central African nation. The DRC has been striving to maintain stability and order, particularly after its last presidential election, which marked the first peaceful transfer of power since gaining independence in 1960.
