The Land Forces (French: Forces Terrestres), also called the Congolese Army, are the land warfare component and the largest branch of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (FARDC). The current Congolese army has its origins in the Force Publique that was active in the Belgian Congo, which was renamed the Congolese National Army (Armée nationale congolaise, ANC) when the country gained independence from Belgium in 1960. During the regime of Mobutu Sese Seko, it was renamed the Armed Forces of Zaire (Forces Armées Zaïroises, FAZ) in 1971 with the country's name change from Congo to Zaire. Under Mobutu's leadership the FAZ was used to put down various rebellions but was deliberately kept weak to prevent any possible coup, resulting in its collapse in the face of Laurent Kab

  • Las Fuerzas de Tierra de la República Democrática Congo, llamado también el ejército congoleño, son el componente terrestre de las Fuerzas Militares de la República Democrática del Congo. Gran parte de las tropas del ejército son exmiembros de grupos rebeldes en el este de la RDC. Corrupción y la incompetencia de los soldados es rampante, y muchos de ellos cometen crímenes contra la población local. Las Naciones Unidas mantiene una gran fuerza en el país para ayudar el ejército congolés en la provincia de Kivu Norte, donde han estado luchando contra el grupo M23. En octubre de 2013, la Rebelión del M23 se rindió ante el gobierno de Kinshasa. (es)

  • Le Forze Terrestri (in francese Forces Terrestres), chiamate anche Esercito congolese, sono la componente terrestre delle forze armate della Repubblica Democratica del Congo. L'attuale esercito congolese ha le sue origini nella Force Publique che era attiva nel Congo belga, che venne ribattezzata Esercito nazionale congolese (Armée nationale congolaise, ANC) quando il paese ottenne l'indipendenza dal Belgio nel 1960. Durante il regime di Mobutu Sese Seko, venne ribattezzato Forze armate dello Zaire (Forces Armées Zaïroises, FAZ) nel 1971 con il cambio del nome del paese da Congo a Zaire. Sotto la guida di Mobutu, le FAZ vennero usate per reprimere varie ribellioni, ma vennero deliberatamente tenute deboli per prevenire qualsiasi possibile colpo di Stato, provocando il loro crollo di fronte (it)
