Mobutu's political system, inaugurated in 1965 and lasting more
than three decades, met all the characteristics of totalitarianism.
This study shows that the failures and misdeeds of Mobutu's system
were clear evidence that it lacked an African-centred vision and
did not put the interests of the African people of Congo (formerly
Zaire) at the centre of this political project. In this study
Mobutu's political actions in the 1990s - mostly as they related to
the National Sovereign Conference - are critically analyzed and
found to be a deliberate attempt to obstruct the momentum of
democracy for the African people of Congo. From an Afro centric
standpoint, this obstruction is evidence of Mobutu's attempt to
impede the search for harmony and peace by the Zairian people, and
to reject the African-centred truth that without Ma'at (harmony)
there is no understanding and no possible restoration of balance.
Mobutu's Totalitarian Political System will be of interest to
students and scholars of ethnic studies, political science and
international relations.
