1980, Leopard, Democratic Republic of Congo

1980, Leopard, Democratic Republic of Congo

Animal prints have powerful symbolic value, reflected in this 1980’s Congolese ‘leopard’ camouflage pattern.

DRC government troops wear versions of the Belgian ‘jigsaw’ and French ‘lizard’ camouflage. The ‘leopard’ pattern worn by some units is an example of the use of camouflage for identification rather than concealment.
