USA and Israel agents help DRC intelligence in intercepting aSatellite Surveillance Briefcase in Kinshasa




A discreet but decisive operation by Congolese intelligence services—supported by their American and Israeli counterparts—has neutralized a sophisticated satellite surveillance device hidden in the premises of a local television station, Antenne A, in Kinshasa.


The military-grade equipment was used to intercept sensitive communications, particularly those emanating from the highest authorities of the Congolese state. Two French nationals, officially identified as technicians, were arrested on the spot.


Main Target: the Presidency of the Republic๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡


According to security sources close to the case, the satellite briefcase specifically captured confidential communications related to the Congolese presidency, as well as those of former head of state Joseph Kabila (JKK), who was recently exfiltrated to Cรดte d'Ivoire.


Preliminary findings from the investigation indicate that the intercepted data was transmitted in real time to external actors, notably Rwandan President Paul Kagame, via encrypted channels. This espionage operation sets a serious precedent in the recent history of regional relations.


A Device Identified Thanks to Joint Technological Monitoring๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡


It was the American and Israeli intelligence services that detected abnormal satellite emissions around certain civilian installations in Kinshasa several weeks ago. Alerted, the Congolese services conducted a targeted operation, which led to the seizure of the equipment and the arrest of the two operators.


Experts believe that this type of device could have operated undetected for several months, or even longer, without this international cooperation.


A Serious Violation of National Sovereignty๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡


The presence on Congolese soil of a sophisticated interception system, operated by foreigners, constitutes a clear violation of the sovereignty of the Democratic Republic of Congo.


Congolese authorities are now questioning the exact nature of the mandate of the two French nationals, as well as the local complicity that may have facilitated the installation and maintenance of the equipment.


Questions also remain about the timing: Joseph Kabila left the country at the very moment the system was exposed. Was he informed? Was he targeted? Was he complicit? The silence of those involved only reinforces the seriousness of the matter.


And now?


Congolese authorities have not yet officially announced the legal consequences. But the incident is expected to lead to major diplomatic tensions, particularly with France and Rwanda.


A joint investigative report between Kinshasa's services and Western partners is expected in the coming days!


Is the US-Congolese cooperation, under the active diplomacy of President Fรฉlix Tshisekedi, continues to produce the expected results!?
