It is not enough to say that the term ethnic cleansingwas first used in English in 1991 in connection with the former Yugoslavia.
I lived in Novo Mesto, Slovenia in 1990-91. It was reported there that Slobodan Milosovich, of Serbia used that term in Kosovo, while speaking to the Kosovo-Serbs at Polje Field, the site of a 14th century battle, which Serbia lost to the Turks.
Later the term was used in Bosnia when Serb peasants and military drove Muslim-Yugoslavs from their homes and countries.
I don't think the term, "ethnic cleansing" was used anywhere before that time.
