What form of government took place under Mobutu Sese Seko? for thirty-two years he was in power, what form of governtment he use?
Totalitarianism? Monarchy?
dictatorship pure and simple.
Whether you call it socialism communism, fascism or any other-ism does not help those who are governed. Mobutu was "officially" a "pro-capitalist" which simply means he had the good sense not to fly at all (just the choice bits).
Just over the border in Angola, "Government of the People" (another name for a bloody dictatorship) stole everything, and the economy destroyed.
If you need a comparison Mobutu-milking the cow and the Angolans took theirs to the slaughterhouse
cp_scipiom, which is a very good answer.

Certainly not a monarchy, but rather as an authoritarian dictatorship.
