Amo Husserl
Superstar
Mobutu the dictator. One of the worst Dictators that ever existed. Killed and destroyed any other competing Political party, caused famine and pocketed all of the wealth from resources, etc. I would have to look it up to verify, but I think after the Ali vs Foreman Rumble in the Jungle fight, The Congo was in an even worse financial situation![]()
Don't forget, Congo had strategic importance. They had to have a dictator.
Malcolm X mentioned Tshombe in his final speeches regarding the importance of the west having a foothold in the region.
Argentina if I recall was a victim of the Ford Motor Company.

In 1913, Ford entered the Argentine market, and in 1916, Buenos Aires became home to the first assembly operation of Ford products in Latin America and the second worldwide after Ford of Britain. Dismantled cars were assembled in Argentina at the plant on Herrera Street, in the Barracas neighborhood of Buenos Aires. That same year, the parent company invested US$240,000 for the construction of an assembly plant in La Boca, another neighborhood of Buenos Aires.[4] In 1922 the plant was inaugurated with the production of the model T,[8] which was imported and assembled locally with a 20% parts manufactured in Argentina. By 1927, 100,000 units had been produced in Argentina. That same year the model A was launched.[4]
