In September 2018, a coup d'état attempt occurred by former President Joseph Kabila, supported by officials of his administration as well as many Republican Guard personnel. It began in the evening of 18 September when Republican Guardsmen stormed the studio of the RTNC, state-owned radio and television service, in the Lingwala district of Kinshasa. Within an hour, an RTNC broadcasted announced the creation of the Free Transitional Council of DR Congo, denouncing the recently-elected President Emmanuel Weyi in favor of Joseph Kabila.
Following the proclamation, the Republican Guard began taking over important buildings in the capital before the government could respond. The Congolese National Police (PNC) sent several units to the studio where Kabila was located but they were repulsed by the guardsmen as a firefight began.
