Notable quotes

— November 30, 1973, on the eve of "Zairianization". Zaire: A Country Study, "Zairianization, Radicalization, and Retrocession"
“If you want to steal, steal a little in a nice way. But if you steal too much to become rich overnight, you'll be caught.”
— D.J. Gould, "Patrons and Clients: The Role of the Military in Zaire Politics," in Isaac Mowoe, ed., The Performance of Soldiers as Governors, p. 485
“Democracy is not for Africa. There was only one African chief and here in Zaire we must make unity.”
— George B. N. Ayittey, Africa Betrayed, p. 65
“We in Zaire spent a lot of time building a strong central state which could resist Soviet aggression quickly and effectively. This enabled us to decisively make the uniform decisions that were necessary to fulfill our national defense obligations and our commitments to the United States.”
— George B. N. Ayittey, Africa in Chaos, p. 113
