Mobutu Sese Seko was the President of Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) from 1965 to 1997. He established a dictatorial regime characterized by corruption, human rights abuses, and the suppression of political opposition. Mobutu implemented a policy of "Zairianization," which aimed to promote national identity by replacing colonial names and promoting local culture, though it often served to enrich his own regime. His rule ended when he was ousted by Laurent-Désiré Kabila during the First Congo War.
