On the 13th anniversary of the death of Marechal Mobutu and his coming birthday anniversary, I think we, Congolese people have an obligation to recalls his good works for Zaire (DR Congo), Africa and the World.
Marechal Mobutu has been an inspiration to many of us, politicians or not. He played his role and many of us have been prepared to continue his work because they have been inspired by Mobutu.
Marechal Mobutu has changed the course of history to make the Republic of Zaire a safe place to live in.Today, however, we are celebrating the anniversary of his death 13 years ago in Rabat Morocco. Marechal Mobutu died far away from DR Congo, his country to which he dedicated his life and whose liberation from imperialism he contributed significantly.
Today, Marechal Mobutu’s death should teach all politicians in DR Congo in particular one important fact of life: “A life lived for and with people is everlasting whilst a life lived for one ends with one’s death”.
Today, le return of Marechal Mobutu’s body to DR Congo and his burial at Gbadolite will fulfil his great desire to be buried in his country and belong his family.
It is important to remember and honor him.
