Well done Rob and Hotters - your answers are more or less correct.

The actual question was:

Who called himself, in translation, "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 - Joseph Desire Mobutu"

Better known as the man who wrecked the Congo.

More people are killed each and every day in the Congo than were lost in 9/11. A very sobering thought.
