Authenticité (Zaire) in different local languages including Kikongo, the "river which swallows all streams". Mobutu also renamed the Congo river and the national currency "Zaire", and referred to them as ""Les Trois Z—Notre Pays, Notre Fleuve, Notre Monnaie"" ("The Three Zs—Our Country, Our River, Our Money"). In addition, cities were renamed appropriately (Léopoldville as Kinshasa and Stanleyville as Kisangani). Streets, bridges, and other geographic features, as well as the armed forces, received name changes. Zairians were urged to drop their Western or Christian names in favor of Zairian names. Mobutu changed his own name from Joseph-Désiré Mobutu to Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku
