Zaire became the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) following a period of political turmoil and social unrest. In 1997, Laurent-Désiré Kabila led a rebellion that ousted longtime dictator Mobutu Sese Seko, who had ruled Zaire since 1965. After Mobutu's fall, Kabila renamed the country the Democratic Republic of the Congo. However, the transition to democracy has been challenged by ongoing conflicts and political instability.
