Kwa lugha ya Kinyarwanda aliitwa "Kinani" inayomaanisha "asiyeshindwa". Habyarimana alitawala kama dikteta na watazamaji hamini alidanganya katika kila uchaguzi aliosimamia.[2]

Alikufa tarehe 6 Aprili 1994 wakati ndege yake ilipigwa na makombora aliporejea Kigali kutoka majadiliano ya amani pale Dar es Salaam. Ndege hii ilimbeba pia rais wa Burundi, Cyprien Ntaryamira.[3] Haijulikana kama makombora yalifyatuliwa na Wahutu wakali waliochukia siasa yake au na wanamgambo Watutsi wa RPF waliokuwa wamefika karibu na Kigali wakati ule.

Tukio hili lilichukuliwa na Wahutu wakali kama ishara ya kushambulia Watutsi kote Rwanda pamoja na Wahutu wasioshikamana nao na hivyo kuanzisha mauaji ya kimbari ya Rwanda.[4][5] Katika kipindi cha siku 100 zilizofuata, idadi ya Warwanda 800,000 hadi milioni 1 waliuawa.[6]
