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.

History
It all started in a poor, kleptocratic state called Zaire, ruled by. He got into power by killing the socialist prime minister  in a coup backed by  Belgium and the  CIA. Upon the crisis, the Katangese State attempted to secede, but thanks to help of the, the republic vanquished in no time. Upon the rest of the 1960s, Mobutu started to introduce a policy where many things were Africanized, especially city names like Stanleyville being renamed Kisigani.

On 27 October 1971, he renamed the country Zaire, after the Zaire river.

Personally, 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 kill Patrice, who was a socialist),   and   were willing to support  Zaire for the rest of the  Cold War  (despite the latter being a wignat satate).

However, Mobutu Sese Mobutu's rule would be started to have been tampered, because  had now won independence for Angola, and wanted to topple Zaire. 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 overthrow Zaire.

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

In  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 Zaire. 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 government in Rwandaball an excuse to invade the region. & Burundi, all three of which which Mobutu had supported opposition groups against in the past.

Congolese Laurent Kabila believed that by siding with the invaders and rebels, he can end Zaire, 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 Kabila helped foreign invaders seize. Zaire had to rely on mercenaries from around many countries in Africa with some from Europe, with the promise of 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, Kabila and his allies reached the Congo and the the Democratic Republic of the Congo was proclaimed. To avoid capture, Mobutu flees to , where he dies a few months after.

After Mobutu's death
After Mobutu Sese Seko's death, his son Nzanga Mobutu took on the Mobutist movement, but not officially. He founded the Neo-Mobutist Union of Mobutuist Democrats, which claims to be the successor to his father's party, the Popular Movement of the Revolution. The Union of Mobutuist Democrats is very.
