After the assassination of Rwandan president, Juvenal Habyarimana (a Hutu) in April 1994, a state-run genocidal campaign against Tutsis and moderate Hutus was undertaken by the Rwandan Armed Forces and like-minded Hutu civilians.
Further evidence that Habyarimana and his cronies were seeking a tribal enemy to channel Hutu frustrations against is that the President received a warning of the October 1990 RPF incursion two weeks before it occurred, but did nothing to prevent it.
In 1990, Habyarimana skillfully drew France directly into the conflict by staging a mock RPF "attack" on the capital, fooling foreign journalists and diplomats into believing that the rebels were on the verge of overthrowing his government.

 President Juvenal Habyarimana was a prime leader during the Rwandan slaughtering
Although Habyarimana did manage to boost the nation’s economy overall, most of the country remained poor, and his bad relations with Rwanda’s refugees are what spurred the genocide to occur in the first place.
Hutu Power, which had grown out of control within Rwanda, was quick to label Habyarimana as a traitor, often labeling him "Tutsi lover" and "a Hutu bought by cockroaches." Shortly thereafter he was assassinated and other Hutu Power leaders took control in his name to increase the genocide of the Tutsi population.
Habyarimana’s government placed him in charge of a newspaper called the "Kangura," originally founded to counter the effect of the Tutsi newspaper, the "Kanguka." But, it’s usefulness in Hutu Power only grew as Ngeze and the Kangura basically narrated and spread propaganda about the genocide.

All specialists on Rwanda agree that the systematic massacres that took place in Rwanda between April and July 1994 were triggered off by the assassination of President Juvenal Habyarimana on the night of April 6, 1994.
The author continues that the RPF first considered shooting Habyarimana “at close range on the route” but that that option was abandoned because he had reduced his travel by road.
Habyarimana “was almost killed on April 5, 1994 as he returned from Zaire, but it was not possible to place the missiles at the site in broad daylight”.

In the evening soon after Habyarimana’s plane crash, these peacekeepers were coming from the Airport on their way to the residence of the former Rwandan Prime Minister Agatha Uwilingyimana to take her to the Rwandan National Radio to make a declaration.
But she never made the declaration since she was assassinated by Habyarimana’s Rwandan Armed Forces (FAR) on the 7 April 1994, the eve of the plane crash.
Interrogated about his defence, the author says his main motivations for writing the book was to bring out the truth about the Rwandan genocide by scrutinizing the shadowy zones and the silence of the international community on the Falcon 50 plane crash which even the UN admits was at the origin of the Rwandan genocide.

Soon after Habyarimana's death, extremist Hutu militias, the Presidential Guard, and the Hutu-dominated national army unleashed a systematic campaign of murder and genocide against hundreds of moderate and opposition Hutu and all Tutsi.
Major-General Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, seized power in 1973, by a military coup.

Hate speech had been transmitted through Hutu media, radicalising the population, which was easy to lead into supporting the slaughtering of their neighbours when the Interahamwe led the way.
President Habyarimana, a close friend of the French, was himself not among the most radical Hutus, but his government included several of the leaders of the genocide, the Akazu.
It was "not within the Tribunal's mandate," she said, acknowledging that the incident may have caused the Hutu extremists to start executing their genocide plan but that this plan was already developed and approved of.

 The US and the Genocide in Rwanda 1994
On April 6, 1994, Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana’s personal plane, a gift from French president Francois Mitterand, was shot down as it returned to Rwanda, killing Habyarimana, Burundian president Cyprien Ntarymira, and members of their entourages.
Habyarimana himself was pressed to implement the power-sharing Arusha Accord his government had concluded with the rebel Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) in August 1993, which capped three years of war, cease-fires and negotiations.
Produced one month into the genocide, this report declares that “Almost immediately after President Habyarimana was killed, in Kigali the Presidential Guard began the systematic execution of prominent Tutsi and moderate Hutu” and that the violence is “directed by high-level officials within the interim government”.

In 1975 President Habyarimana formed the Movement Revolutionaries Natinale pour le Development (MRND), a single ruling party that was to promulgate in 1978 a sham constitution that repeatedly returned him to office by organizing "elections" in which he was the sole candidate.
The divisions within the ruling Bahutu clique that culminated in the coup d'etat of 1973 became more heightened in the 1970s and 1980s when the clique talked of Bahutu of the north and Bahutu of the south.

The man extending his hand was the President of Rwanda, Juvenal Habyarimana.
The presence of President Habyarimana extending his hand to Paul Kagame, who in extremist propaganda was a symbol of the Tutsi drive to reestablish an Hutu-oppressive monarchy, is a powerful indicator of Habyarimana?s weakness and inability to ensure manage a secure state.
Thus, the theme of Hutu Unification is implied as a last resort for ensuring the safety of Hutus whose government had recently brokered a power-sharing peace accord with the arrogant, oppressive, and cunning Tutsis.
