A military court in the Democratic Republic of Congo is set to deliver its verdict Friday over an alleged coup attempt, with 51 defendants, including three Americans, facing charges and all but one risking the death penalty. Armed men on May 19 attacked the home of then-economy minister Vital Kamerhe before heading to President Felix Tshisekedi’s offices, waving Zaire-era flags. An army spokesman later said that security forces had stopped “an attempted coup d’etat”.
