Hey! Great video, but you forgot that he mentioned Zaire, here's a history of Zaire
WARNING: Do not read as this is a history lesson on a non-existant country.

Although some people know the Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville) Another Republic of the Congo existed, located in what is now The Democratic Republic of the Congo. The President and Parliament of this Republic of the Congo (or Congo-Léopoldville) a guy named Joseph-Désiré Mobutu decided to seize power, and in 1965, he did, ending Congo-Léopoldville. The name Zaire was taken from the Congo River (Why the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo is named that way) However, Portuguese People referred to the Congo River as the Zaire, hence the name. Mobutu wanted to erase European names from the country, and ordered all Zairians to adopt "authentic African names", and Mobutu, containing a name with European Origin took a very longer name: Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu Wa Za Banga, which translates to:"the all-conquering warrior, who goes from triumph to triumph" (Roughly) We'll just call him Seko. In 1974, the Constitution of Zaire was created, The Constitution basically let Seko become a dictator, however he used the title: President. It was also a one-party state– the Mouvement Populaire de la Révolution being the main party. A new Constitution was made 1970–adding elections every five years (Seko won both of them, which are speculated to have been rigged) Worker Organizations and Youth Groups were made, the National Union of Zairian Workers was the "National trade union" and Youth of the Popular Revolutionary Movement was the official youth group. Only three churches–the Church of Christ in Zaire, the Kimbanguist Church, and the Roman Catholic Church, were the only allowed churches. The Press was also heavily run by the government. Local Government was abolished, with just Kinshasha running the entire nation. More reforms created more government roles, yet gave Seko more power. Katangan rebels kept launching invasions into Zaire, but the Western Bloc gave Zaire aid, and kicked them out into Angola. Pope John Paul II visited Zaire–however left early after a stampede left 9 dead while attempting to meet him. However, other political Parties started to form in Zaire, however they were moved into secrecy after Seko's quelling of their open operations. Seko also became the first African Leader to go to America–visiting US President George H.W. Bush. Seko also stopped government elections–and rival governments were created. Rwanda–which had been in a civil war since the 1990s–Hutu forces made refugee camps in Zaire–and the Armed Forces of Zaire helped this militia against the Rwandan Government. Hutu and Zaire also started targeting Congolese Tutsis, and then the Tutsi's staged the First Congo War. Nations like Rwanda and Uganda helped these Tutsi Militias fight Zaire–this coalition, under the leadership of Laurent-Désiré Kabila, quickly advanced into Zaire. By 1997, most of Zaire was under Tutsi control, and Seko fled to Morocco on May 17. Kabila and his forces took Kinshasha unopposed–and declared himself president, on May 21, 1997, Zaire was renamed The Democratic Republic of the Congo, ending Zaire.
