	History of the Republic of the Congo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the persons accused of shooting Ngouabi were tried and some of them executed, the motivation behind the assassination is still not clear.
		An 11-member Military Committee of the Party (CMP) was named to head an interim government with Col. (later Gen.) Joachim Yhombi-Opango to serve as President of the Republic.
		Accused of corruption and deviation from party directives, Yhombi-Opango was removed from office on February 5, 1979, by the Central Committee of the PCT, which then simultaneously designated Vice President and Defense Minister Col. Denis Sassou-Nguesso as interim President.

		The success of the Marxist party in Angola led to imitation in the Congo and Ngouabi’s successor, Joachim Yhombi-Opango, was expected to reestablish military control over the PCT.
		Amid accusations that he had embezzled government funds, Yhombi was ousted from the PCT and in 1979 Col. Denis Sassou-Nguesso was appointed head of state.
		Sassou-Nguesso maintained a politically neutral course in international affairs, seeking ties with both capitalist and Communist countries (the Congo signed a treaty of friendship with the Soviet Union in 1981, as it continued to benefit from French investment).

		El 18 de marzo de 1977 Ngouabi pereció asesinado en un confuso golpe de Estado perpetrado, según se dijo, por "fuerzas derechistas" vinculadas al ex presidente Massemba (que fue arrestado y ejecutado en un proceso sumarísimo), aunque hay indicios para suponer una conspiración interna en la cúpula del PCT.
		Pero, en unas circunstancias no suficientemente aclaradas, fue el coronel Joachim Yhombi Opango, como Ngouabi y Nguesso un norteño de Cuvette, quien se encaramó a ambos puestos el 3 de abril.
		El presidente acusó a su predecesor de instigar en el norte la violencia contra los partidarios de su aliado Opango, pero Nguesso replicó que al jefe del UPADS le interesaba avivar las tensiones para posponer unas elecciones que no se le aparejaban en buenos términos, y denunció la existencia de un supuesto plan para asesinarle.
