Original Title: TIL about the campaign of Authenticité in the DR Congo (prev. Zaïre) in the 60s and 70s where Mobutu Sese Seko attempted to remove everything considered reminders of colonial rule. Place names were renamed, traditional names must be used over Christian names, and Western clothing was banned.
