1966 Republic of the Congo coup attempt
text:
For 10 days in June and July, 1966 an attempted coup took place in the Republic of the Congo. The coup was sparked following the demotion of Marien Ngouabi who was accused of insubordination. Ngouabi's elite unit of paratroopers took over part of the capital, Brazzaville and were successful at cutting of the city's telecommunications and transportation. A group of over 200 Cuban army troops, then resident in Brazzaville, protected the government's radio station as well as the Congolese governmen
