Joseph KavarugandaJoseph Kavaruganda (died 7 April 1994) was a Rwandan judge, and president of Rwanda's Constitional Court. He was killed at the beginning of the Rwandan Genocide. A prominent moderate Hutu, Kavaruganda was known to be ill-regarded by some members of the MRND regime. On February 17, 1994, UNAMIR commander Romo Dallaire received information of a plot to assassinate Kavaruganda and Lando Ndasingwa. In his book Shake Hands with the Devil, Dallaire claims that he informed them of this plot, and neither were surprised. On April 7, members of the government's Presidential Guard arrived at his door, claiming they were taking him to safety. Kavaruganda's wife claims he knew this was a ruse, but went anyway, seeing no other option. He was killed later that day. Kavaruganda, Joseph
