In the February 2002 issue (p, 68) of Discover Magazine there is a word new to me, not yet seen in AWADtalk.
It refers to former ruler of Zaire, Mobutu as a "kleptocratic ruler".
I was unable to find it in my dictionary, but quicky found in several sites on Internet, defined as:
"A kleptocratic state may arise as a predatory hierarchy from a state of pure anarchy." This was from a paper entitled "Institutionalized corruption and the Kleptocratic State " by Joshua Charap and Christian Harm.
