Mobutu Sese Seko's rule in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) did not directly contribute to the country's independence, as he came to power after it had already gained independence from Belgium in 1960. However, his authoritarian regime established a centralized government that suppressed dissent and created a semblance of stability in a tumultuous period.
