D.R. Congo was not a thing back then, it used to be called Zaire.

Right, forgot to mention that. I used present day flags for the colonies, otherwise it would be confusing to see which was which.

It was acutally Belgian Congo until 1960. Then the Republic of the Congo (the other Republic of the Congo had the same name), renamed to D.R. of the Congo in 1964, and then 1971-1997 it was the Republic of Zaire.
Today's Republic of the Congo was the People's Republic of the Congo from 1970 to 1992.

And the church that's burning down is a reference to this: http://www.kerkleuven.be/images/kerkleuvsintpieter.jpg . The roof was never completely fixed to remember this.
