In 1965, Mobutu Sese Seko seized power in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (then known as Zaire) through a military coup, overthrowing the democratically elected government of Prime Minister Antoine Gizenga. This marked the beginning of Mobutu's long Dictatorship, characterized by authoritarian rule, political repression, and widespread corruption. His regime was supported by Western powers during the Cold War, partly due to his anti-communist stance. Mobutu's rule would last until 1997, significantly impacting the country's political landscape and development.
