In the early hours of Sunday morning, gunfire broke out in Kinshasa, the capital of Congo, as armed men in military uniform clashed with guards of a top politician in a neighborhood near the presidential palace. The incident resulted in the tragic deaths of three individuals, including two police officers and one of the attackers.
The armed men launched an attack on the residence of Vital Kamerhe, a federal legislator and former vice prime minister of economy. Fortunately, Kamerhe and his family emerged unharmed as his guards successfully repelled the assailants. Security measures have since been reinforced to ensure the safety of the politician and his loved ones.
