The Congolese minister for national defense, Charles Mwando Simba and the national army chief of staff, Didier Etumba claim that their lives are in danger amid death threats from some senior officers of the national army accused of funds diversion.
The minister told the UN sponsored Radio Okapi in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
He alleged that since the implementation of some reforms in regards with the pay of men under the flag, some officers and even juniors are threatening him and the National Army Chief of Staff.
