Democratic Republic of the Congoball

History
DRCball has a very long history. We will begin when he was first a countryball. He was first the Congo Free Stateball, then belgium made him change to Belgian Congoball. After gaining independance, he called himself the Democratic republic of the congo. But soon after a civil war rose and overthrew the democratic government and replaced it with a dictatorship lead by a man call Mobutu. Mobutu installed cruel policies, but was supported by the USA. Soon Mobutu renamed the countryball to Zaireball. After the fall of communism in the 1990s, the USABALL called for democratisation of Zaire. Since Mobutu was suffering from advanced prostate cancer, he was easily deposed. A civil war raged on for a while before a new 'democratic' government was installed. The countryball was renamed back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and a new constitution was made allowing for greater freedom. Although there were great reforms, the DRC remains one of the poorest countries in the world.
