I haven't decided yet, to be honest. As of the Civil War, all the cities have kept their European names. Mobutu's Africanisation in OTL was, in many ways, part of an attempt to reclaim some of the spirit of Lumumba and independence but, for obvious reasons, that can't happen in this timeline.

And will the U.S.S.R. and the U.S. interviene more in the TTL Congo Crisis?

The US is already covertly intervening in their favour and, as a member state of the UN, they've been transporting ONUC resources and personnel to various locations. So far there hasn't been any obvious attempts by the Soviets to make anything other than diplomatic overtures. Lumumba hasn't needed to call on the Soviets to aid his beleaguered government as it's been far more stable thus far but a lot of the rhetoric and actions have been seemingly socialist (worryingly so, if you're the CIA).

Edit - Page five! A bit of a milestone. :p
