Congo-Kinshasa: No Takers for Ex-Dictator's Money (Inter Press Service)

A Swiss court has ordered eight million Swiss francs to be unblocked in favour of the heirs of Mobutu Sese Seko, the former dictator of Zaire. The Swiss are trying to convince the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo to send an envoy to collect the money in the name of the Congolese people, but Kinshasa doesn't seem to care.

That is a insult more than anything else. 8Million Swiss francs after 32 years of looting? Amazing! Kabila, the father, asked for the release of all assets due to Congolese people to help repair the country’s infrastructure. His request fell on death ears. He went back to his home country empty handed. Last time I checked, when you keep stolen money, you are also a thief. Hello, Swiss Banks? What is the rush now? You knew these assets were stolen from day one. Do you not feel ashamed? What would make anyone thinks you stopped shameful practices with stolen monies? History will never forgive you sucking the blood of poor under the guise of the dictators your support.
