Habyarimana’s 1973 coup established a two-decade one-party Rwandan regime

Evidence

In July 1973, Rwanda’s senior military officer, General Juvénal Habyarimana, seized power by means of a relatively bloodless coup. He moved quickly to establish a oneparty regime that lasted for two decades. A Hutu from the northwest, Habyarimana ruled with the help of his wife and her powerful family. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 902
