The plane shot down in Rwanda on April 6, 1994, was carrying President Juvénal Habyarimana and was a pivotal event that triggered the Rwandan Genocide. The assassination of Habyarimana, whose government was dominated by the Hutu ethnic group, created a power vacuum and escalated ethnic tensions between the Hutus and Tutsis. The shooting down of the plane is widely believed to have been carried out by extremists within the Hutu regime, seeking to incite violence against Tutsis and consolidate power amid a backdrop of long-standing ethnic conflict. This act initiated a horrific genocide, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 800,000 people over the course of just 100 days.
