AHC: Have Zaire Survive into the 2010s

Who could the Republic of Zaire have survived and lasted into the 2010s, not dissolving in the 1990s like it did IOTL?

Also, if you were wondering, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is not Zaire. They are two different countries, like the Russian Federation and the Soviet Union, or the Kingdom of England and the United Kingdom.
 
Pardon my ignorance, but what is the differance?


Indeed. They share the same boundaries, same capital etc and that the change in name was deemed to be just that, rather than a successor state.

Maybe the question should be "What if the Mobutu regime was not violently overthrown?"
