Mobutism

Mobutuism was the official state ideology in Zaire incorporating "nationalism," "revolution," and "authenticity. Revolution was described as a "truly national revolution, essentially pragmatic," which called for "the repudiation of both capitalism and communism," favoring "national revolution", and purging of European culture from Africa. Mobutuism also sought to replace Christianity in Zaire with a religious devotion to Mobutu as Messiah. Mobutu at the smallest tried to look less of a CIA-funded puppet and more of a  Black Nationialist.

History
It all started in a poor, kleptocratic state called Zaire, ruled by  Mobutu Sese Seko. he got into power by killing socialist prime minister Patrice Lumuba in a coup backed by  Belgium and the  CIA. Upon the crisis, the Katangese State attempted to secede, but thanks to help of the  Anti-Christ UN, the republic vanquished in no time.

Mobutu was evil as hell and was willing to silence opponents, but because many of his views were anti-communist such as supporting the Portuguese in Angola (and as said helping killing Patrice, who was a socialist),  USAball and  South Africaball were willing to support  Zaire for the rest of the  Cold War.

However, Mobutu Sese Seko-icon.png Mobutu's rule would be started to have been tampered, because UNITA had now won independence for Angola, and wanted to topple their political rival Mobuto. They then funded former separatists in the Katanga province known as the Congolese National Liberation Front, and sent two failed incursions in the country to other throw Zaire.

By the time the Cold War end, the USA stopped supporting Mubuto and started to isolate his country.

In Rwanda however, the Tutsis felt oppressed by the Hutu government and started to rebel. As a result, this led to a horrible event; the Rwandan Genocide. This led to many tutsis fleeing to Zaireb. Hutu extremists, ALIRball and  Interahamweball also fled to Zaire, and used refugee camps to try to build a coalition to invade Rwanda. To reduce a rebellion by the Tutsis, started allowing the Hutus to shelter in eastern Zaire. But this only gave the Tutsi dominated goverment in Rwandaball an excuse to invade the region. Uganda & Burundi, all three of which which Mobutu had supported opposition groups against in the past.

Congolese Laurent Kabilia believed that by sibing with the invaders and rebels, he can end Zaireb, bring a  democratic state, and improve living conditions in the Congo. Well, Zaire's dictator had been dying anyways. Alliance of Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Congoball was created and operated in the eastern portion of Zaire, and overtime, the more the war went on the more territory Kabilia helped foreign invaders seize. Zaire had to rely on mercaines from around many countries in Africa with some from Europe, with the promise of giving them giving them access to African resources. The White Legion was made up with former Yugoslavia, defended Kisangani until it fell. Months after, Angola started dropping in troops near the capital. Eventually, Kabilia and his allies reach the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congoball is proclamed. To avoid capture, Mobutu flees to  Morocco, where he dies a few months after.
