RDC failed coup plot: president's security adviser in detention

Presidential spokesman Tharcisse Kasongo Mwema said on TV on February 8, that investigations were ongoing<\/strong> and added that \"no attempt to destabilize __democratic institutions would be tolerated\"<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to a human rights activist and lawyer Georges Kapiamba, the president's security adviser Francois Beya has been in detention since last Saturday. In 40 years, Francois Beya, 67, has served four leaders including Joseph Kabila. He was kept by Felix Tshisikedi as security adviser after his first election in 2018.<\/p>\n

Francois Beya is said to have helped president Tshiseki build an coalition with Kabila's still very influential policital party. However, Felix Tshisekedi dissolved that alliance two years later amid political deadlock.<\/p>\n

Although there has been no official declaration, some sources say Congo's national intelligence agency think Francois Beya organised meetings to destabilize the government.<\/strong><\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1644409962,"publishedAt":1644421153,"updatedAt":1644421506,"expiresAt":0,"canonical":"https:\/\/www.africanews.com\/2022\/02\/09\/rdc-failed-coup-plot-president-s-security-adviser-in-detention\/","images":[{"url":"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/06\/46\/00\/50\/{{w}}x{{h}}_cmsv2_c9c7e566-f422-5ac7-9f1b-f9257aca3753-6460050.jpg","altText":"Felix Tshisekedi has been has been President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo since 25 January 2019.","caption":"Felix Tshisekedi has been has been President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo since 25 January 2019.","captionCredit":"AMANUEL SILESHI\/AFP or licensors","captionUrl":null,"sourceCredit":null,"sourceUrl":null,"callToActionUrl":null,"callToActionText":null,"width":1024,"height":682}],"authors":{"journalists":[{"urlSafeValue":"pauvarel","title":"Camille Pauvarel","twitter":null}],"producers":[],"videoEditor":[]},"keywords":[{"id":354,"slug":"dr-congo","urlSafeValue":"dr-congo","title":"DR Congo","titleRaw":"DR Congo"},{"id":10385,"slug":"political-crisis-in-dr-congo","urlSafeValue":"political-crisis-in-dr-congo","title":"Political crisis in DR Congo","titleRaw":"Political crisis in DR Congo"},{"id":12422,"slug":"dr-congo-opposition","urlSafeValue":"dr-congo-opposition","title":"DR Congo Opposition","titleRaw":"DR Congo Opposition"},{"id":10383,"slug":"joseph-kabila","urlSafeValue":"joseph-kabila","title":"Joseph Kabila","titleRaw":"Joseph Kabila"},{"id":8199,"slug":"arrest","urlSafeValue":"arrest","title":"Arrest","titleRaw":"Arrest"}],"widgets":[],"related":[{"id":1814268},{"id":1826838},{"id":1830040}],"technicalTags":[],"allViews":0,"allViewsMeta":{"pointOfView":{"quotation":null,"description":null,"author":null},"survey":[],"tweetId":null,"tweet2NdId":null,"contentType":null,"displayOverlay":0},"displayType":"default","video":1,"videos":[{"duration":70520,"editor":null,"filesizeBytes":6910280,"format":"mp4","type":"normal","url":"https:\/\/video.euronews.com\/mp4\/med\/AF\/NW\/SU\/22\/02\/09\/en\/220209_AFNWSU_44916129_44919255_70520_164008_en.mp4","expiresAt":0,"quality":"md"}],"externalPartners":{"youtubeId":"6otnxvgxmpM"},"liveStream":[{"startDate":0,"endDate":0}],"isLiveCoverage":0,"scribbleLiveId":0,"scribbleLiveRibbon":0,"sourceId":1,"sources":[],"externalSource":"","additionalSources":"","additionalReporting":"Africanews","freeField1":"","freeField2":null,"type":"","program":{"id":"af_news","urlSafeValue":"news","title":"News","online":1},"vertical":"news","verticals":[{"id":1,"slug":"news","urlSafeValue":"news","title":"News"}],"primaryVertical":{"id":1,"slug":"news","urlSafeValue":"news","title":"News"},"themes":[{"id":1,"urlSafeValue":"news","title":"News"}],"primaryTheme":{"id":1,"urlSafeValue":"news","title":"News"},"advertising":0,"advertisingData":{"startDate":0,"endDate":0,"type":null,"isDfp":null,"slug":null,"title":null,"disclaimerLabelKey":null,"sponsor":null,"sponsorName":null,"sponsorUrl":null,"sponsorLogo":"","sponsorLogoReverse":""},"geoLocation":{"lat":0,"lon":0},"location":1,"continent":{"id":3,"urlSafeValue":"africa","title":"Africa"},"country":{"id":69,"urlSafeValue":"democratic-republic-of-congo","title":"Democratic Republic Of Congo"},"town":[],"grapeshot":"'gt_positive','gs_politics','gs_politics_misc','gt_positive_trust','gs_business','gt_positive_like','gs_business_management','african_related_content_fr','gt_negative_sadness','gv_safe'","versions":{"en":{"url":"rdc-failed-coup-plot-president-s-security-adviser-in-detention","title":"RDC failed coup plot: president's security adviser in detention","authors":{"journalists":[{"urlSafeValue":"pauvarel","title":"Camille Pauvarel","twitter":null}],"producers":[]},"publishedAt":1644421153,"expiresAt":0},"fr":{"url":"rdc-un-conseiller-de-felix-tshisekedi-arrete-pour-des-raisons-troubles","title":"RDC : un conseiller de Felix Tshisekedi arr\u00eat\u00e9 pour des raisons troubles ","authors":{"journalists":[{"urlSafeValue":"africanews","title":"R\u00e9daction Africanews","twitter":null}],"producers":[]},"publishedAt":1644414339,"expiresAt":0}},"subprogram":{"id":"af_news","urlSafeValue":"news","title":"News","online":1},"articleType":"article-default"}" data-videosticky="">
