Three countries in Central Africa’s Congo Basin are being closely watched for the possibility of a future political upheaval or coups after the fall of the Bongo dynasty in neighboring Gabon.
Cameroon, Congo Brazzaville, and Equatorial Guinea are seen by analysts and long-time Africa watchers as having similar conditions of decades-long rulers, multigenerational economic mismanagement, and an agitated, resentful populace.
There have been eight coups in West and Central Africa since 2020 and there are concerns in the international community that there is a high risk of contagion in these regions.
Some media outlets have disseminated information about a state coup occurring in the Democratic Republic of Congo, APA reports.
The coup is led by the commander of the presidential guard. The country's president is in New York, the army is taking control of the main facilities in the capital.
