Kabila’s regime, which began in 1997 after he overthrew Mobutu Sese Seko, was characterized by efforts to rebuild the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire) after decades of dictatorship. His government sought to restore national sovereignty, but faced internal conflict and external pressures, particularly during the Second Congo War.

The Medieval Knights Templar red cross shield is an iconic symbol associated with the famed Catholic military order founded in 1119. The shield prominently features a red cross, representing the knights' religious devotion and their mission to protect pilgrims and fight in the Crusades. Typically displayed on a white background, the red cross symbolized martyrdom and the Templars' willingness to sacrifice themselves for their faith. The shield not only served as protective gear in battle but also as a powerful emblem of their identity and unity. Over time, it has become a lasting symbol of medieval chivalry, faith, and the enduring legacy of the Knights Templar.
