Counts of words from a published list across these 2 statements. A count is a fact about a word: it is not a measure of what this person believed, argued for, or cared about, and nothing on this page should be read that way.

Everything here is drawn from what Mobutu Sese Seko said in an official capacity at the rostrum of the General Assembly, as published by the United Nations. Nothing else about them is collected or inferred.
