Joseph Mobutu ousted President Joseph Kasavubu to- day and declared himself pres- ident of the Congo for the next five years. Mobutu, the army com- "couldn't be happier' with the latest turn of Congolese events. The prevailing. opinion was that Tshombe, who led the se- cession of Katanga after inde- pendence from Belgium in 1960, would be recalled to the gov- likely provide the basis for set-|/ mander-in-chief, said he ex- pected Parliamentary '"ap- proval by acclamation" of his presidency later today. He also cancelled the presidential and parliamentary elections which had been scheduled for next January and February. "Since this morning I am the president,"' he told a press con- erence. It was his second seiz- ure of power in The Congo since the former Belgian territory be- came independent in 1960. Mobutu named Col. Leonard Mulamba, a career officer, to replace Premier-designate Eva- riste Kimba and said he would form a "government of national unity from all provinces' in which he and Mulamba would be the only military figures. He said Mulamba would pre- sent his government to Parlia- ment for approval by Saturday. NAMES COMMANDER Mobutu also named Maj.-Gen. f Louis Bobozo, 34, the army's only other general, to Mobutu's place. as commander-in-chief. Bobozo has been military com- mander in nga province, ernment. Congolese politics have been in crisis since Oct. 13, when Ka- savubu, fearing Tshombe as a next year, ousted the premier and named Kimba to replace him. Tshombe and his supporters in Parliament defeated Kimba on his first vote of confidence Nov. 14, but Kasavubu asked Kimba to try to form another government. With Parliament scheduled to recess Dec. 6, political observ- ers believed Kimba planned to delay naming his cabinet until after that date. He then would not have had to face a vote in Parliament until March. The rift between Kasavubir and Mobutu probably began when the president told the Ab rican summit conference in late October that he would expel the white mercenary soldiérs whd quelled the rebellion in the north Congo. Mobutu, who va- lued the mercenaries, pressured Kimba. into issuing a that "only those mercenaries not integrated into the army rival in the presidential election . it probably 'would.
