What to read after MOBUTU SESE SEKO, THE GROOM OF EUROPE?

In the year I was born and in Africa in 1984, Mobutu already had more than USD $ 15 billion in his personal fortune derived from the trafficking of Congo's natural resources, which he renamed Zaire (the name of his beloved mother). ).

That same year, the gross domestic product of France was USD 532,339 million, with a growth of USD $ 30,160 million compared to the previous year, 1983.

Mobutu Sese Seko, during his 32 years of power, became the most powerful and dangerous fool in the world, and above all, the richest.

 Being benevolent in the estimates and taking into account some other variations, it is calculated that during the 32 years of power of Mobutu and his family they looted the net worth USD $ 240 Billion US dollars, which ended up in banks in Belgium, France , and mainly from Switzerland.

After his overthrow, Swiss bankers declared that they only had USD $ 3.4 Million of the already ex-president Mobutu, who died three months after a prostate cancer.

Even after his overthrow and death and as in the case of Libyan President Moammar Gaddafi, Mobutu Sese Seko's fortune is still very alive and active, with millionaire movements and transactions under the control of investment funds that have nothing to do with Africa. , not with Congo, much less with the family of Mobutu Sese Seko.

History is literally a Book, and it teaches us everything we must learn, if we want to.

It is a story that resonates and repeats itself in the collective memory of all African men and women, as it is the story of a ghost that haunts Africa, corruption.

The sad story of the Congo by Mobutu Sese Seko deserves to be told, as it is the True Story of Africa.
