Confusion Trails Military Take Over In Congo Brazzaville
…. President in US for UNGA, Govt denies coup in country
A military coup was reported to have taking place in Congo Brazzaville on Sunday evening.
The country’s president Denis Sassou Nguesso has been caught off guard as he is away in the United States attended the 68th session of UNGA.
The military as we report is taking control of key facilities in the capital Brazzaville.
The 79 year old Sassou-Nguesso has been in power since 1979 with five year “break” between 1992 and 1997. He is the father to the former and late First Lady of Gabon, Edith Lucie Bongo Ondimba who was married to Omar Bongo and passed on in 2009, three months before her husband Omar Bongo passed on.
Sassou-Nguesso himself participated in many coups in his country in the 60s and 70s, and came to power following the assassination of President Marien Ngouabi in 1977.
Congo Brazzaville borders Central African Republic to the North, Cameroon to the North West, DRC to the East and Gabon to the West.
