Who are the men behind an attempted coup in DR Congo ?

50 men have been arrested in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in what the government says is a foiled coup against President Felix Tshisekedi in the capital Kinshasa.

The Democratic Republic of Congo says it has quashed an attempted coup on Sunday. The army said the group of people behind the attempted coup were foreigners or Congolese citizens based abroad. Who are these men and why would they want to topple the government?

And meet Lord Spikeheart, the heavy metal music artist from Kenya, yes, from Kenya!
