Mute arguement now but where is your evidence that Fayulu had any backing from the US.
US lobbyists started working probone for Tshisekedi in June of last year (see signed agreement in second last link below)

“—Karst told PI that among the key components of the group’s messaging will be emphasizing that the “U.S. can and should play a larger role in the heart of Africa as a partner with a legitimate reform government.” “For now we are working [part]-time pro bono, by necessity, not choice, as the campaign has very little resources,” he added. He said the group aims to form a coalition of stakeholders “to help the Congolese people transform their country and our perception of it.” Tshisekedi isn’t the only Congolese opposition politician with U.S. lobbyists:
Ballard Partners lobbies for the
Group of Seven, which represents
Moise Katumbi, another opposition leader.”
Here is the consulting agreement signed by Tshisekedi and Max Karst and Celestin Kabasele on 23/6/2018. The agreement was registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act and recieved by the US Department of Justice on 23/7/2018

Here is the US website that Max Karst set up for the organisation in the US, PamojaUSA, that raised money and supported Tshisekedi's mandate.

If you are going to accuse people of being wrong you better come with some facts.
Where is your evidence that Fayulu was supported by or in the US?
