REF: STATE 02615 
 
I. Summary of Significant Events 
 
A. Narrative Overview of Activities 
 
- On June 2, sparked by a temporary takeover of Bukavu, 
students and sympathizers filled the streets, throwing rocks 
and anything else they could get their hands on.  The 
protests were first aimed at MONUC, then the GDRC in general. 
Americans were told to stay at the Embassy or at their 
residences throughout the trouble. Employees were taken home 
from the Embassy and JAO in armored vehicles the first 
afternoon of the demonstrations by the RSO and ARSO. 
 
- A coup attempt the early morning of 06/11 woke the 
community to gunfire and streets filled with tanks and armed 
soldiers. A presidential palace guard led about 40 rebels to 
take over a local radio station and shut down the city's 
electricity. The attempt was quelled later in the day with an 
undetermined amount of casualties.  During both security 
incidents, the RSO used a new cell phone group text message 
communication link to keep the American community informed on 
what was happening and what to do. 
 
- Deputy Assistant Secretary Donald Yamamoto visited Kinshasa 
both in April and in June to meet DRC and business liaisons 
and to conduct town meetings with members of the American 
community. 
 
- Congressman Edward Royce and retinue visited Kinshasa and 
Brazzaville 06/26 - 06/30. Their schedule on both sides of 
the river and requests for armed escort put an additional 
demand on the RSO office. 
 
- ARSO Edward Webb and SSGT Andrew Sellhorn, the MSG 
Detachment Commander, left post in June for their next 
assignments in Washington, D,C.
