This place was totally bizarre. It's Mobutu's mansion located in Lisala. From what I could discern, it's still privately owned by the family. The family leased part of the building to a school, but the school only exasperated the deterioration of the mansion. The school has subsequently been evacuated. There are some renovations occurring, but by whom where they were being financed was unclear.
Most bizarre was the statue of the mother and baby. It still remained on the premises. Nobody stole it. Because much of the mansion itself seemed to be looted. The statue is supposedly of Mobutu and his mother. Lisala is where Mobutu was born.
