"The genocide was sparked by the death of the Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, when his plane was shot down above Kigali airport on 6 April 1994. A recent French official report blamed current Rwandan President, Paul Kagame. The report - extracts of which appeared in the daily, L…e Monde - said French police had concluded that Mr Kagame gave direct orders for the rocket attack. Rwanda has rejected the report, describing it as a "fantasy".

Who is the President of Rwanda?
Paul Kagame is the President of Rwanda. He became leader of the Rwandan Patriotic Front during the Rwandan genocide, and took power over the country on 1994 July 19. As he was a Tutsi, he was appointed as Vice-President of the country while Pasteur Bizimungu, a Hutu, was appointed as a figurehea…d president. After political differences arose, Bizimungu resigned and Kagame became the president on 2000 March 24. Paul Kagame's presidency has been plagued by questions of whether or not he was involved in massacres during the Rwandan genocide. A French court concluded that he had orchestrated the shooting down of president Juvénal Habyarimana's plane, leading to the civil war, but the Rwandan government has dismissed these accusations as propaganda by the French government, whom they claim to be responsible. As leader of the nation, Kagame has made much progress in economically reforming the country, and making it more investment friendly to other nations. However, he has been criticized for disallowing political and media freedoms. ( Full Answer )
What is the reason for Rwanda genocide in 1994?
In February of 1994, the president of rwanda, who was a hutu, named habyrimana (spelling?) was in a plane when it was shot down, and the hutu extremists, who did not like the tutsi, used this as an excuse to start mass killing on the tutsis, because they blamed them for the killing. this, however, w…as not the probable case. it is more likely that the plane was shot down by hutus who did not like the fact that habyrimana was working on a peace treaty with the tutsis. this is not the only proof of this; before the plane was shot down, radio stations would call tutsis cockroaches, and talk about killing them. it is more likely that the whole thing was planned, and they wanted to have ethnic cleansing agaist the tutsis, and this gave them the excuse. of course, before this happened, you have the british who controlled the area before, and allowed the tutsis, who were the minority, to rule the government, so most of this was started when they put them in power and eventually left, and the government went to the majority hutus, who wanted revenge.

•The Hutus and the Tutsi have been fighting for years over who should lead and who should follow. This conflicting relationship started when Belguim colonized there in 1916.

For many years the Tutsis lived above the Hutus enjoying the better side of Rwandan life. When Belgium granted Rwanda independence in 1962 the Hutus had had enough. The Hutus blamed the Tutsi for their problems and treated them badly. Over the years the rwandans ecenomicsituation just got worse. They blamed it on their current president Juvenal Habyarima. A group called the Rwandan Patriotic Front, led by Mr. Kagame was planning to over throw President Habyarima. In and effort to stop his overthrownment Habyarima began•…August 1993 there was a treaty signed between president Habyarimana and the RPF, but even this did not completely stop the conflicts. A year later the presidents plane was shot down sending the country into turmiol. The President of Burundi and several chief members of staff died in the crash. The identity of the killer was never found out. Back in Kigali when they heard the news the presidential guard went on a murderous rampage targeting Tutsis and moderate Hutus. The first to start the killing were military officials, bisuness men, and politicians but many more would join in the killing spree. The government encouraged these killings and drove the people on. A group called the Interhamwe meaing, those who attack together, was formed. The most recruits they ever had were 30,000. The people of the Interhamwe were given rewards such as food and supplies for their wrong doings and were told they could take the land of anyone they killed. When the RPF heard of the presidents death they took the opportunity to increase they're attacks on the government. In July the same year the RPF took Kigali. The government colapsed and a cease-fire was declared. When the news spread of the RPF's victory Hutus fled to neighboring countries. I new government was formed and a Hutus by the name of Pasteur Bizimungu was elected president. In years to come the Tutsis would rise to power again pushing the Hutus farther into the DR Congo. The two countries of races still fight against each other and there are still rebeliousgroups who patrol the streets of Rwanda "guarding" against the Hutus and a genocide..
