	Zaire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zaire (spelled Zaïre in French) was the name of the Democratic Republic of the Congo between 1971 and 1997.
		Although it came into use in 1971, the name Zaire is often still used for the portion of the Congo controlled by Mobutu since 1965.
		Mobutu was born in the town of Lisala, on the Congo River, on October 4, 1930.

		Zaire's teetering on the brink of implosion is felt throughout virtually all the countries of eastern, central, and southern Africa.
		Zaire's internal crises are inseparable from the broader regional dynamics of war and peace.
		Zaire's internal crisis is closely related to the outcome of the military operations in the east and to the complex regional dynamic in which the country is embroiled, according to Belgian specialist on Central Africa Filip Reyntjens.

		And although Zaire’s main export (copper) is no longer as highly sought after, this is still a rich country: there is cobalt (used to make steel) and industrial diamonds as well as a range of food and cash crops.
		But the West’s influence on Zaire is not limited to TV, it is usually true to say that the country has either just completed negotiations with the International Monetary Fund, or is just about to begin talks to re-schedule its debt repayments.
		Zaire also has one of the world’s worst human rights records with over 100 opponents of Mobutu and his People’s Movement for the Revolution either imprisoned or banished to rural areas.

		Zaire is a large nation in the heart of Africa.
		Though Zaire is enormously wealthy in natural resources, civil war and government corruption have made the nation unable to feed its own people and dependent on foreign aid.
		Zaire was granted independence from Belgium in 1960, but the population was unprepared, causing eight years of violence, anarchy, and secessionist wars.

	96037: Zaire
		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.
		Clearly the best scenario for Zaire would be a negotiated resolution of the eastern Zaire fighting, perhaps including recognition of the citizenship of the Banyamulenge, a pledge to ban the activities of Hutu militants in the region, and the deployment of an international monitoring force.
		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.

	CNN - Zaire, Rwanda edge closer to war - Oct. 30, 1996
		Zaire, a large country at the heart of Africa formerly known as the Belgian Congo, has long been in chaos, but the latest crisis in its eastern region is seen as potentially the most far-reaching in its 36-year history as an independent state.
		Zaire has ordered the Banyamulenge fighters, as the Tutsi rebels are known, to leave the eastern land they have occupied for at least 200 years.
		The Rwandan refugees in Zaire are members of the Hutu faction, which perpetrated the 1994 genocide of a half-million Tutsis.

	Sovereignty and Personal Rule in Zaire
		Zaire's conference opened in Kinshasa in August 1991, under the leadership of Archbishop Laurent Monswengwo Pasinya, known for his neutrality and apparent lack of political ambition.
		As in Yugoslavia, this method of control in Zaire was compatible with the rise of enterprising ethnic strongmen who pioneered a de facto stealthy secession as a consequence of their new-found autonomy.
		The key to this arrangement lies in the absolute status of Zaire in international law, short of total dissolution or some new configuration which would have to be arranged against the short-term interests of many outsiders who prefer the post-independence framework of Africa's sovereign states, weak though they may be.

		Congo (Zaire) became independent from Belgium in 1960 when the head of state, Joseph Kasavubu, dismissed the prime minister, Patrice Lumumba.
		Behind the omnipresent apparatus of control forged by President Mobutu Sese Seko in 1965 may be detected the enduring influence of King Leopold II of Belgium.
		One of Kabila's first acts as the new ruler was to change the name of the country from Zaire to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

		Emphasizing the value of authentic Zairian culture, authenticity was a reaction against the lingering vestiges of colonialism and the continuing influence of Western culture.
		As implemented, the policy resulted in numerous changes in both public and private life; for example, the name of the country was changed to Zaire, and Zairian names were given to cities, regions, streets, bridges, boats, and other public facilities.

	Workers World April 3, 1997: The rise and fall of Zaire's Mobutu
		Now that much of his army has crumbled and rebel forces are advancing from eastern Zaire, there is of course relief among much of the population that Mobutu's corrupt rule may soon be over.
		But anyone who thinks U.S. domination in Africa will somehow be better than that of France or Belgium-because it will bring new capital, or technology, or more respect for democracy and human rights-should consider the disastrous history of Central America, or the Philippines, or south Vietnam before liberation, or the CIA role in Angola.

		The toughest challenge in defending the CIA and its half-century-long record can be the fact that while the spy agency's failures have been bad, its "successes" often have been worse.
		One such "success," nearly forgotten amid the rush of current headlines, was the CIA operation in the Congo (now Zaire) in the early 1960s.
		Zaire's central location in the southern part of Africa -- bordering Angola to the southwest and the Sudan to the northeast -- made it ideal for such interference.
