		The flag of the Democratic Republic of the Congo was adopted in 1997.
		The current flag is based on the flag which was originally used by King Leopold's Association Internationale Africaine (which was supposedly a humanitarian organization, but functioned mainly as a front for Leopold's exploitive economic interests in the Congo) and was first hoisted in 1877.
		The original design for the flag was allegedly created by the famed "explorer" Henry Morton Stanley and the layout consists of a blue background with a five-pointed gold star centered on it, with the star supposedly being symbolic of the "light of civilization" now shining brightly in Darkest Africa [1].
