Juvénal Habyarimana
Juvénal Habyarimana was the President of Rwanda from 1973 until his assassination in 1994. His rule was marked by ethnic tension and the eventual outbreak of the Rwandan Genocide, during which approximately 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutus were killed. Habyarimana's death in a plane crash was a catalyst for the genocide, leading to widespread violence and a humanitarian crisis that drew international attention.
