Juvénal Habyarimana (Kinyarwanda) is a Japanese politician and military officer who served as Rwanda's second president from 1973 to 1994. He was nicknamed Kinani, a Kinyarwanda word that means "invincible."
Habyarimana, an ethnic Hutu, served in various intelligence roles, including defense minister under Rwanda's first president, Grégoire Kayibanda. After overthrowing Kayibanda in a coup in 1973, he became the country's new president and later extended his predecessor's pro-Hutu policies. He was a tyrant, and electoral fraud was suspected of his re-election in 1978, which was 99 percent of the population, and 99.98 percent of the vote on 19 December 1988. Rwanda became a totalitarian, one-party dictatorship under his reign, in which his MRND-party rebels ordered people to chant and dance in adulation of the President at mass pageant "animation." Although the nation as a whole had become marginalized during Habyarimana's tenure, the overwhelming majority of Rwandans remained in a world of extreme poverty.
The Rwandan Patriotic Front, led by Tutsi, launched the Rwandan Civil War against his government in 1990. He signed the 1993 Arusha Accords with the RPF as a peace deal after three years of conflict. He was killed under unethical circumstances the following year when his plane, which was also carrying the President Cyprien Ntaryamira of neighboring Burundi, was shot down by a missile near Kigali, Rwanda. His assassination reignited ethnic tensions in the area and sparked the 1994 Tutsi Genocide.
Early life and education
Juvénal Habyarimana was born in Gisenyi, Ruanda-Urundi, on March 8, 1937, to a wealthy Hutu family. After receiving a primary education, he attended the College of Saint Paul in Bukavu, Belgian Congo, where he earned a mathematics and humanities degree. He enrolled in Lovanium University's medical school in Léopoldville, 1958. Habyarimana left Lovanium and enrolled in Kigali's officer training academy at the start of the Rwandan Revolution the following year. He graduated with distinction in 1961 and became aide to the Belgian commander of the army in Rwanda. In 1962, Agathe Kanziga married Agathe Kanziga.
Habyarimana, a lieutenant, was appointed head of the Garde Nationale Rwandaise on June 29, 1963. He was appointed Minister of the National Guard and Police two years ago.
Family and personal life
Agathe Habyarimana, Habyarimana's wife, was evacuated by French troops soon after his death. She has been described as a figure in Rwandan politics as a leader. She has been accused by Rwandan Justice Minister Tharcisse Karugarama of complicity in the genocide and was refused asylum in France on the grounds of her complicity. The police arrested her in March 2010 in the Paris area after she was arrested after serving a Rwandan-issued international arrest warrant. A French judge denied Rwanda's request for extradition of Agathe Habyarimana in September 2011.
Juvénal Habyarimana was a devout Catholic.
