*When Rwandan President [[Juvénal Habyarimana]] was assassinated in the onset of the [[Rwandan Genocide]], Mobutu somehow got a hold of his remains and kept them in a private mausoleum in Gbadolite, Zaire. Though he promised to return the remains to Habyarimana's family in Rwanda for proper burial after the genocide ended, he never did and it is unknown what happened to them.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1997/05/16/world/ending-a-chapter-mobutu-cremates-rwanda-ally.html Ending a Chapter, Mobutu Cremates Rwanda Ally], ''The New York Times''</ref>
*Mobutu once tried to name himself as the life-long president of Zaire. This, however, failed.
*Some scholars consider him to be a [[Fascism|fascist]], as his party's ideology shared characteristics of fascism, and was against both capitalism and communism. However, because of his corruption, this ideology generally did not show in his governance.
