The two major ethnic groups in Rwanda (Hutu and Tutsi) had a
history of competition and conflicting territorial claims. A civil
war with the Hutu-dominated government was fought from 1990 to 1993
by a Tutsi rebel force (RPF) based in Uganda, and continued despite
a cease-fire agreement.
After a similar civil war broke out in neighboring Burundi, the
Hutu presidents of both Burundi and Rwanda were assassinated in
April, 1994. This triggered a Hutu-led massacre of hundreds of
thousands of Rwandans, both Tutsi and moderate Hutus. This was only
ended after the takeover of Rwanda by the Tutsi (RPF) military
government.
