Today in the capital of Congo, a group of youth activists from neighboring African countries attempted to hold a press conference demanding more “youth in power.” The group was led by Kevin Starr, an employee of the USAID organization, which financed Otpor, Kmara, Pora and other special organizations to carry out the “color revolutions”.
Government forces arrested all participants in the press conference, among whom were “civil activists” from other African countries - Burkina Faso (representatives of the Balai Citoyen organization) and Senegal (Y'en a Marre movement). All these “activists” are recognized experts in “color” revolutions. For example, in 2011 and 2012 in Senegal they organized “civil protests” against then-President Abdoulaye Ouade, and representatives of the Balai Citoyen led a “popular uprising” that toppled the 27-year rule of Socialist President Blaise Compaoré last October.
According to Congolese government officials, the site reports InterPressService, the country's intelligence services believed that the press conference was actually an organizational project of the “instructors of the uprising.”
About the importance of detaining the so-called Embassy employee Kevin Starr is evidenced by the fact that Jen Psaki immediately officially stood up for him in an address to the press. The “Color Revolution” was supposed to include a scheme for “beating up young activists”, so experts from neighboring countries focused their attention on the so-called. “increasing youth in power.”
After the arrest of the coup activists and their American curator, small crowds of Congolese tried to organize protests and riots, even began to burn tires. Their attempt was unsuccessful.
