 | | Soon after rising to power, Mobutu began what was to become three decades of terror, brutality, assassination, and further plunder of the country’s wealth for personal gain and personal waste. |
 | | In 1972, Mobutu changed his name to Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu wa za Banga, officially translated as “the all-powerful warrior who, because of his endurance and inflexible will to win, will go from conquest to conquest leaving fire in his wake.” He made true on his name. |
