ZAIRE

Early day motion 36, tabled 20 May 1997 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 30 members.

That this House welcomes the fall of the Mobutu regime in Zaire and considers its record of corruption, violence and abuse of human rights to be an appalling indictment of those who sold arms, promoted the coup and put it in power or propped the regime up in any way; recognises the terriblelegacy that the Government of Laurent Kabila has inherited; and hopes the people of Zaire will see peace, democracy and a respect for human rights.

Signatures by party: Labour 24, Labour/Co-operative 2, Liberal Democrat 2, Plaid Cymru 2.
