Journalist attacked with weapon during training in DR Congo

This Thursday at 6pm, the Democratic Republic of Congo will face Tanzania in the qualifiers for the African Cup of Nations. But before the match, the Congolese team must face a huge controversy.

Indeed, a member in charge of the security of the national team violently attacked a journalist according to Sport News Africa. He allegedly hit Gede Luiz Kupa (the journalist who was attacked, editor’s note) with a firearm.

The latter, very shocked while he was only attending the 15 minutes of training open to the media, reacted: “I am so shocked by this scene and I hope that CAF will find a solution.”

The journalist, who intends to file a complaint, was supported by several colleagues, who are expected to boycott post-match media activities this evening and who are waiting for a public apology for their colleague.
