Mobutu was pretty corrupt and his government was very dysfunctional (that's why it collapsed so quickly against Laurent Desire Kabila's rebels during the First Congo War), but on the surface it does seem third positionist to a degree. Some kind of better version of that, a less corrupt version, may be good for the Congo. Maybe some kind of New Mobutuism. I believe there actually is a Mobutuist Party or something in the DRC today. But the current "democratic" system that Congo has will never work, simply because the country is too diverse ethnically and too big. So a Mobutuist dictatorship would be pretty realistic, but it would probably be corrupt still.
