Mobutu Sese Seko was a Congolese politician and military officer who served as the President of Zaire from 1971 to 1997, previously holding the position of President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo from 1965 to 1971. He orchestrated the overthrow of Patrice Lumumba’s government during the Congo Crisis and established an autocratic regime with the Popular Movement of the Revolution as the only legal political party.
