Answer:

He nearly bankrupted the nation and was forcibly removed from office.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu Wa Za Banga was the military dictator and President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, later named Zaire, from 1965 to 1997. Mobutu established a totalitarian government, during which he accumulated a huge personal fortune through economic exploitation and corruption. This caused the nation uncontrolled inflation, a massive debt, and heavy currency devaluations.

By 1991, economic decay forced him to accept to share power with the opposition until May 1997, when rebel troops commanded by Laurent-Désiré Kabila ejected him from the country.
