@afriascend: The Leopard of Zaire Mobutu Sese Seko’s history is a complex one. He championed African authenticity and sought to break Zaire from its colonial identity, yet ruled through authoritarianism, corruption, and a powerful personality cult. At the same time, his regime was sustained by Cold War geopolitics and Western interests. Mobutu’s legacy sits at the intersection of African nationalism, neocolonialism, dictatorship, and the struggle for sovereignty. | #fyp #congo #zaire #mobuto #History
