American Citizens Involved In Coup Attempt Return Home From DR Congo - Axadle | Stay Informed With Horn Of Africa Headlines
Three Americans who were jailed in the country over their involvement in a coup attempt in May have been transferred to the U.S. where they are expected to serve their prison sentences. The three men were initially handed the death penalty before having their sentences commuted. The Congolese government's decision to transfer the Americans followed high-level talks between officials of both countries, which involved a visit by a senior advisor of U.S. President Donald Trump. The State Department said bringing the Americans home was a "top priority". Meanwhile, the handover comes at a time when DR Congo has asked for more U.S. support in its fight against armed groups in the east of the country in exchange for U.S. access to its valuable minerals.
