After political differences arose, Bizimungu resigned and Kagame became the president on 2000 March 24.

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.
