  • La légion blanche était une unité mercenaire recrutée par le Zaïre de Mobutu Sese Seko pour soutenir les forces armées zaïroises lors de la première guerre du Congo. Constituée d'une trentaine de mercenaires français et d'une centaine de mercenaires serbes, elle ne parviendra pas à arrêter la poussée des rebelles de l'Alliance des forces démocratiques pour la libération du Congo et de leurs alliés rwandais.

  • A Legião Branca foi uma unidade mercenária recrutada pelo Zaire durante a Primeira Guerra do Congo (1996-1997) e empregada para apoiar as forças armadas zairenses sob o Presidente Mobutu Sese Seko. Este grupo de várias centenas de homens, principalmente da antiga Iugoslávia, recebeu a tarefa de defender a cidade de Kisangani e treinar as tropas zairenses. Este esforço foi em grande parte malsucedido e em meados de março de 1997 os mercenários deixaram o país. A Legião Branca foi composta por cerca de trinta mercenários franceses e cem mercenários sérvios e falhou deter a investida dos rebeldes da Aliança das Forças Democráticas para a Libertação do Congo e seus aliados ruandeses.
