On May 19, 2024, Marcel Malanga and Tyler Thompson participated in a coup attempt at the Palais de la Nation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Surrounded by rebel soldiers, they declared that they were liberating the DRC, despite their inexperience and lack of military background. Malanga, known for his chaotic energy, and Thompson, a casual stoner, had surprisingly engaged in organizing arms shipments and constructing homemade explosives leading up to the attack. Their actions exemplify the rise of unconventional participants in global conflicts.
Marcel Malanga, 21, and his friend Tyler Thompson, with no prior military experience, stand among rebel soldiers during an assault on the Palais de la Nation in the DRC.
The duo declared the Democratic Republic of the Congo liberated while engaging in activities such as organizing weapon shipments and constructing homemade bombs.
