assistance mission: It was the catalyst that effectively destroyed the old order and changed the course of central African history, according to Toronto Star. Which is what RPF leader Paul Kagame and the RPF were aiming for all along, while paying lip service to the UN, to the UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda UNAMIR and to the peace process. His assassination set the stage for a level of mass killings that Rwanda has not yet recovered from. The following account of the shooting down of Habyarimana's plane is based on separate testimonies from former RPF to the 2006 French inquiry under Judge Jean-Louis Brugui re and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. The commanders present at the meetings were Col. Kagame and his inner military circle held a series of three meetings in late 1993 and early 1994 to plan to shoot down the plane.
