Sele kudlule iminyaka engama-29 ukusukela oko uMobutu Sese Seko, ukumkani waseZaire, wayelele phantsi komhlaba, amawaka eekhilomitha ukusuka kwilizwe lakhe. Ngomhla wokukhumbula ukufa kwakhe, umbuzo wokubuyisela amathambo kaMarshal uye wavela kwakhona kwingxoxo kazwelonke.
Ngonyana wakhe, uNzanga Mobutu, usapho "lwendoda enamandla" lucacise imeko yalo. Nangona lungachasani nokubuyiselwa kwamathambo kayise wesizwe kwilizwe lakhe lokuzalwa, lufuna, okokuqala, isenzo esicacileyo esivela kurhulumente waseCongo sokuhlonela iminqweno yakhe yokugqibela.
Kwaye usapho luchaze ngokucacileyo esi senzo sicacileyo: ukuvuselelwa kwendawo eyayihlala uMarshal eGbadolite, kwiphondo laseNorth Ubangi kumantla-ntshona eDRC. Ngokutsho konyana wakhe, ukubuyiselwa kwabantu kwilizwe labo kunokuqwalaselwa kuphela ukuba oku kufezekisiwe.
“Uya kuqonda ukuba, kwezi meko, kunzima ukubuyisela isidumbu sikaMarshal Mobutu. Phantsi kwezi meko, ndikholelwa ukuba okuncinci okunokwenziwa kukulungisa ubuncinane indawo awayehlala kuyo. Yiloo nto ayishiyileyo xa wayehamba,” utshilo.
UMobutu, owasweleka elubhacweni eMorocco ngoSeptemba 1997 waza wangcwatyelwa kwindawo yokungcwaba yamaKristu eRabat, walawula iZaire (igama langaphambili leDemocratic Republic of Congo) ngesandla esiqatha ukususela ngo-1965 ukuya ku-1997.
Kwabanye usaluphawu lolawulo olunobuzwilakhe oluphawulwa liqela elinye, ngelixa kwabanye uMobutu usaluphawu lombuso onamandla, wobuzwe obucingelwayo.
