Answer:

Joseph-Désiré Mobutu was the European name of Gen Mobutu Sese Seko.

Rwanda is an African country that faced a serious genocide in 1994.

Step-by-step explanation:

General Mobutu Sese Seko, born Joseph-Désiré Mobutu, was the President of Zaire between 1965-1997. Under his presidency, he established a one-party totalitarian dictatorship in the Republic of Zaire, now named the Democratic Republic of Congo. In 1972, Mobutu took on the name Gen Mobutu Sese Seko. Thus European name of Gen Mobutu Sese Seko's is Joseph-Désiré Mobutu.

In 1994, the African country which faced a serious genocide is in Rwanda. In 1994, within 100 days, millions of people were slaughtered by Hutu extremists. They targeted the minority group of Tutsi and political opponents regardless of their ethnicity.
