The assassination of Rwandan President Juvénal Habyarimana
Time: Wednesday Apr 6, 1994
Place: Kigali, Rwanda
Details: The genocide was organised by members of the core Hutu political elite, many of whom occupied positions at top levels of the national government. Most historians agree that a genocide against the Tutsi had been planned for at least a year. However the assassination of Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana on 6 April 1994 created a power vacuum and ended peace accords. Genocidal killings began the following day when soldiers, police, and militia executed key Tutsi and moderate Hutu military and political leaders.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
