Rabat orders Mobutu entourage out

Moroccan authorities have ordered out of the country 30 members of the entourage of former Zairian dictator Mobutu Sese Seko, a Moroccan official said today.

The 30, who have been told to leave within 10 days, arrived in Morocco at the end of May following Mobutu’s ouster from Kinshasa, said the source, who asked not to be named.

Among those asked to leave are bodyguards and former Zairian security officials. Mobuto is in Morocco after being exhiled from his country recently in a military coup. He is being treated in a Moroccon hospital for his failing health.
