He Ruled a Rich Country While His People Stayed PoorAjouté :
He ruled one of the richest countries in Africa, but his people remained poor.
[music] In 1965, Mobutu Sese Seko seized power in Congo, later renamed Zaire. The country was rich in copper, diamonds, and gold, but vast [music] sums were allegedly diverted while public services collapsed. Roads crumbled, hospitals lacked medicine, schools deteriorated.
After more than three decades in power, he was overthrown in 1997.
A nation rich in resources was left in crisis.
How should history judge Mobutu?
