NEWSFLASH - MDF Coup ousts Mpongo (Reuters)





From our political correspondent in Mpongoville 

In a swift and well coordinated move, units of the Mbote Defence Force have occupied the capital, Mpongoville, and have deposed the incumbent President for Life of the Democratic People's Republic of Mbote, General Papi Mpongo. In the early hours, columns of MDF tanks and mobile infantry entered the city and quickly seized control of strategic objectives including the radio and TV station, the presidential palace, the people's assembly and the police headquarters. Latest reports indicate that General Mpongo has fled the capital under escort by a bodyguard of hired mercenary troops and may be heading in a convoy to the border crossing at Mpangwe.
