How did the Rwandan Patriotic Front take power?

The Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) took power in July 1994 after a brutal civil war and the genocide against the Tutsi population, which resulted in the deaths of an estimated 800,000 people. The RPF, composed mainly of Tutsi refugees, launched a military offensive against the Hutu-led government in April 1994, capitalizing on the chaos of the genocide. By capturing the capital, Kigali, and defeating the Hutu forces, the RPF established control over Rwanda, leading to the establishment of a new government under its leader, Paul Kagame. This marked the end of the genocide and initiated efforts for national reconciliation and reconstruction.
