The final event that triggered the Rwandan genocide on April 6, 1994, was the assassination of Rwandan President Juvénal Habyarimana when his plane was shot down near Kigali. Habyarimana, a Hutu, was returning from peace talks aimed at ending the civil war with the Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front. His death ignited long-standing ethnic tensions and led to a coordinated campaign of mass violence against the Tutsi population and moderate Hutus, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 800,000 people within just 100 days.
