Actions of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) and Rwandan Government

The RPF’s Military Response to Genocide

Immediate resumption of military action
1. After the collapse of the Arusha Accords and the start of the genocide, the RPF resumed military action to stop the massacres and ensure its survival.
2. The international community failed to intervene, leaving the RPF as the only force actively resisting the genocide.
3. About 100 days after the genocide began, in mid-July 1994, the RPF captured Kigali, effectively bringing an end to the genocide.
From ceasefire to full-scale campaign
1. Following the assassination of President Habyarimana and the immediate onset of mass killings, the RPF, under Paul Kagame, abandoned its ceasefire and launched a full-scale military campaign from its northern strongholds.
2. Initially focused on rescuing besieged forces in Kigali and Byumba, the RPF expanded operations to encircle and capture strategic areas, including Kigali (captured July 1994), effectively halting massacres in those regions.
3. Their advance was the single most effective effort in stopping the genocide, as international intervention was minimal.
