To this day that is still in dispute. The Hutu dominated government and media immediately claimed that the Tutsi rebel group the Rwanda Patriotic Front was responsible for the 1994 killing but there are many suspicious aspects of the assassination. For example, the black box from the plane mysteriously disappeared. It is also difficult to understand how the RPF would benefit from the assassination since the President was on the verge of creating peace in Rwanda. From what I understand no one has ever been charged and no concrete proof has ever been brought forth connecting the event to the RPF or any other group for that matter. the tutsi rebels

The Rwandan Genocide was the 1994 mass murder of an estimated 800,000 people in the small East African nation of Rwanda. Over the course of approximately 100 days (from the assassination of Juvénal Habyarimana and Cyprien Ntaryamira on April 6) through mid-July, over 500,000 people were killed, according to a Human Rights Watch estimate.[1] Estimates of the death toll have ranged between 500,000 and 1,000,000,[2] or as much as 20% of the country's total population. It was the culmination of longstanding ethnic competition and tensions between the minority Tutsi, who had controlled power for centuries, and the majority Hutu peoples, who had come to power in the rebellion of 1959-62 and overthrown the Tutsi monarchy.[3]

The reason why is because the tutsi were not the kind of people the hutu's were. The hutu called them names such as cockroach's , dirt, and other racism words.

Tin ore is produced in mines and a smelting plant was built to help generate revenue.

Built on hills, the city spreads across four ridges with valleys in between. Visitors to Kigali may notice this flying into Kigali International Airport. Once outside the airport there are several minibuses available for transport to one of Kigali’s International Class Hotels. For lunch stop by Kigali Serena’s Diplomat Restaurant.

Most of the dead were Tutsis and most of those who perpetrated the violence were Hutus. 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.
