Kigali - Rwanda's Hutu President Pasteur Bizimungu, in power since the end of the country's 1994 genocide, resigned yesterday after falling out with leading members of his Tutsi-dominated ruling party.
Political observers said Mr Bizimungu had clashed with colleagues in the ruling Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) over the make-up of a new cabinet which was announced on Sunday.
He had also criticised parliament over a recent inquiry into official corruption, which has led to the resignation of a number of ethnic Hutus and opposition politicians from his coalition government.
