The Congolese Government has debunked reports of a coup attempt against long-term President Denis Nguesso
“URGENT – Fanciful information suggests serious events that are underway at #Brazzaville,” Congo’s Minister of Information Thierry Moungalla tweeted on his X handle.
“The Government denies this fake news. We reassure public opinion about the calm that reigns and invite people to calmly go about their activities.”
