Answer
In 1997, Mobutu Sese Seko, the longtime president of Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo), was forced into exile in Morocco. His downfall came after a seven-month rebellion led by Laurent-Désiré Kabila, who subsequently became president. Mobutu's rule was characterized by corruption, economic mismanagement, and human rights abuses, which ultimately led to his ouster.
