Most of the dead were Tutsis - and most of those who perpetrated the violence were Hutus. The genocide was sparked by the death of the Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, when his plane was shot down above Kigali airport on 6 April 1994. A recent French official report blamed current Rwandan President, Paul Kagame. The report extracts of which appeared in the daily, Le Monde said French police had concluded that Mr. Kagame gave direct orders for the rocket attack. Rwanda has rejected the report, describing it as a "fantasy". Within hours of the attack, a campaign of violence spread from the capital throughout the country, and did not subside until three months later. Also, ethnic tension in Rwanda is nothing new. There have been always been disagreements between the majority Hutus and minority Tutsis.
