	Mobutu Sésé Seko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Embarking on a campaign of anti-European, pro-African cultural awareness, Mobutu renamed the country the Republic of Zaire in October 1971.
		From eastern Zaire, with the support of president Paul Kagame of Rwanda, they launched an offensive to overthrow Mobutu, joining forces with locals opposed to him as they marched west toward Kinshasa.
		Zaire was renamed the Democratic Republic of Congo.

	96037: Zaire
		President Clinton had given initial approval to U.S. participation in the force, but a final deployment decision was never made as refugees returned and the rebellion widened.
		Zaire, which at one point had favored the force for just this reason, strenuously opposed plans to base the operation at Entebbe airport in Uganda on grounds that Uganda was a Tutsi supporter.
		Zaire's information minister said on December 17, 1996 that an "Anglo-Saxon coalition" was "destabilizing Zaire and the African continent." French participation in the multi-national force could have proven problematic, since Tutsi widely view France as a supporter of the former Hutu regime in Rwanda.

		President Mobutu briefed the President about the summit and the status of proceedings to arrange the talks which we hope will lead to national reconciliation in Angola.

		When President Mobutu intervened in the transition process initiated by the National Sovereign Conference and reinstalled the National Assembly in March 1993, his new prime minster, Faustin Birindwa, was uniformly boycotted by the Western nations.
		On April 24, 1995, on the fifth anniversary of the date marking the beginning of the transition, the Troika made a demarche to the "political leadership" of Zaire, faulting primarily the entourage of the president and the leader of the opposition, Etienne Tshisekedi.

		President Daniel arap Moi recently said all the people who are swarming around Kabila are not interested in democracy or the welfare of the Zaireans, but in lining their pockets and filling their stomachs with the country's wealth.
		One of the risks to Zaire's future stability is the ease with which Kabila's ADFL rebels have gained ground.
		A CNN reporter summed it marvellously when she said the "war in Zaire is more flight than fight." Mobutu's indisciplined and looting-prone soldiers have mostly fled in the face of rebel advances.

		In its reply the State party, under cover of its note of 6 October 1980, forwarded to the Committee the texts of the amnesty laws and of the judicial decisions by which D. Mbenge was sentenced in 1972, 1977 and 1978.
		Due,n particular to a lack of information from the Government of Zaire, there may be some reason to question the correctness of the charges brought against D. Monguya Mbenge, especially with regard to the judgement of 16 March 1978.
		The submission of the State party to the effect that the President of the Republic would be entirely prepared to grant a new amnesty to citizens re-entering Zaire even after the expiration of the amnesty decree does not offer a secure legal basis upon which the author could firmly have relied.

		Arguing that the dictator recognized the mistakes he had made in the past and was now ready to make amends, Robertson invested a great deal of political capital in the attempt.
