Existence After Genocide and Victory
After its conquest of Rwanda, the RPF was split into a political division which retained the RPF name, and a military one, called the Rwandan Patriotic Army (now the Rwandan Defence Forces). Amnesty International claimed as many as 200,000 Rwandese Hutu refugees were massacred by the Rwandan Defence Forces and ADFL during and after the Rwandan Genocide of 1994.
The RPF continues to be the dominant political party in Rwanda under President Paul Kagame.
