	Louis Rwagasore
		Prince Louis Rwagasore (10 January 1932-13 October 1961) was a Burundi nationalist and prime minister.
		Believing that the role of the royal family should transcend partisan politics, his father promoted him to Chief of Butanyerera[?], but Rwagasore turned down the appointment so that he could devote himself fully to the nationalist cause.
		Despite the setbacks, Rwagasore and UPRONA won a clear victory in elections for the colony's Legislative Assembly in 1961, winning 80 percent of the vote.

		UPRONA procured 58 of the 64 seats in the national assembly, and Rwagasore became prime minister.
		This event was detrimental to the future of Burundi; Rwagasore's focus on unification dissolved, the UPRONA divided, and open conflict between the Hutu and Tutsi began.

		He thinks that Louis Michel, the current Belgian foreign minister, who strongly backed the idea to set up the inquiry, may be out to embarrass the Social-Christian Party (SCP) which ceased to be part of the ruling coalition last June.
		As pointed out recently by the Belgian daily, Le Soir, the socialists who are part of the current government coalition did not object whatsoever to the hostile government policy against Lumumba.
		And Louis Michel's own Liberal Party, in fact, did have many friends in the circle of Belgian officials who supported Lumumba's arch-enemy, Moise Tshombe.

		UPRONA was led by a remarkable politician, Prince Louis Rwagasore, eldest son of King Mwambutsa IV.
		The festive occasion was to a degree marred by the memory of the dead Rwagasore, the man everybody had expected to lead the country wisely into its first years of autonomous existence.
		The various prime ministers between July 1962 and January 1965 had been a succession of rather lacklustre characters, with a brief period during which Ngendandumwe himself had been at the head of the government[13] An accumulation of economic, diplomatic and administrative problems seemed to call for a firmer leadership.

		Because of his charisma but also due to repeated cases of harrassment he was subjected to for objecting too much against the colonial administration laws, Prince Louis Rwagasore accepted the offer, a move that led to the creation of UPRONA in 1958.
		Most of the swahilis who were very close to Rwagasore's struggle were burundians of foreign origin especially congolese like JUMA MLENZI and Alhaji SALUM BICHUKA, whose house in Buyenzi served as the Party's first headquarters.
		But October 13th, 1961 he was gunned down in a colonial-sponsored plot plunging Burundi in a cycle of political violence and leaving his party in a big power vaccum that led to a tense leadership struggle.

		Later two Greeks and three Burundians would be hanged for their involvement in the plot against Rwagasore.
		There has been no official response by the Belgian Government to the reports, although Belgian Government officials have been active in 2000-2001 in attempting to play down investigations even into the 1994 assassinations, recommending that the past be put aside.
