The Boteti affair
Daniel Boteti, the Vice-President of the Provincial Assembly of Kinshasa, was murdered on July 6, 2008. Patrick Mwewa, who was along with five others charged with the killing, alleged before a military tribunal on July 18 that Yango had ordered Boteti's death, offering Mwewa $1,200 to take part in the murder.[1] Kimbuta's spokesperson Therese Olenga said that the testimony was filled with "contradictions".[2]
gollark: Oh no.
gollark: My friend's debian-running server is somehow still on nginx 1.14.2, when my up-to-date unnecessarily-compiled-from-source one is at 1.19.10 or so.
gollark: The Arch arm-none-eabi-gcc was apparently updated about 2 weeks ago, so presumably they aren't getting it from ARM themselves. So I don't see why Debian would be either. Maybe they're just hilariously outdated for no reason.
gollark: ARM publishes them? Aren't they compiled by debian themselves from something something GCC source repositories?
gollark: I mostly just use an actual (μ)SD card reader.
