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.

Paola of Belgium (born Donna Paola Ruffo di Calabria on 11 September 1937) is the Italian-born wife of King Albert II of Belgium and served as Queen Consort from 1993 until Albert's abdication in 2013. Known for her elegance and charm, Paola brought a Mediterranean warmth to the Belgian monarchy. Although her early years in Belgium were marked by a struggle to adapt to royal duties and the challenges of public life, Paola later became a dedicated and beloved figure within the country. She focused on supporting cultural initiatives and advocating for children's welfare, education, and social causes, gaining respect and affection from the Belgian people. Paola and Albert have three children, including King Philippe, who succeeded Albert in 2013. Now holding the title of Queen Paola, she remains active in charity work and is cherished for her role in modernizing the Belgian monarchy and supporting a sense of unity among the people.
