Joseph Kasa-Vubu was a Congolese politician who served as the first President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo from 1960 until he was ousted in 1965. He played a crucial role in the country's early post-independence politics, navigating the complex landscape of ethnic tensions and foreign interests that characterized the newly independent nation.
