In rapid succession, history recorded the seizure of power by Communist Patrice Lumumba, the secession from chaos by the province of Katanga, a horrifying war waged against Katanga by the (?) United Nations, and years of turmoil and misery for the Congolese people. Out of the chaos, Katangas admirable Moise Tshombe somehow emerged as the leader of the entire nation. Stability returned and progress seemed within reach, but Tshombe was too and too for these enlightened days. Undermined at every turn, he was deposed in 1965 in a coup led by Army Sergeant Joseph Mobutu. Tshombe was eventually kidnapped and killed in Algeria, without any protest from world opinion. peace-lovin- g pro-We- Mobutu Sese Seko Joseph Mobutu, on the other hand, has rule is quite a story. endured, and hts He changed the name of his country to Zaire and his own name to Mobutu Sese Seko, which means: The warrior who, by his one-ma- n endurance and will to win, goes from contest to contest leaving fire in his wake. As head of the only political party, commander of the armed forces, and absolute boss of the machinery of government, Mobutu really is By diverting much of Zaires wealth to himself, he is also one of the worlds wealthiest men, living amid splendor in numerous palaces and villas scattered around Europe and Africa. When not off somewhere m his private Boeing 747, Mobutu appears at public events preceded by hundreds of hired cheerleaders. Buses blare his speeches to the captive riders, television and radio constantly extol his greatness, and posters everywhere proclaim his A single chief, a single people, a single slogan: party. Sensihg a threat from his own Catholic Church, Mobutu has recently banned religious training, church periodicals, church-ruschools, and even the celebration of Christmas. n Heading Toward Oblivion Zaires twenty-thre- e million people obviously need something better than Mobutu and publicity stunts like the prizefight. Inflation is currently rising at a rate of 40 per cent per year, per capita yearly income is a meagre $110, and food production is actually lower than in 1960. Food has to be imported from the hated white-runation of South Africa another interesting piece of news that will not be broadcast by world opinion. n Financing the Warrior A reliable estimate pegs U.S. foreign aid to Mobutu at $36 million a year. Every dollar helps to solidify his tyrannical rule and to increase widespread contempt for America. All in all, the word bankrupt ought to be world opinion, Mobutu applied to Sese Seko, the worsening condition of the U.S. Treasury, and those leaders of this nation who contribute to each of the above.
