After the assassination of Ndadaye, what followed was the Burundian Civil War until 1996. This period is described as a vacuum of power that led to violent conflict between Hutu -majority and pro-Tutsi groups. Some people wanted to advance the politics under Ndadaye’s government while pro-coup groups challenged this path. There were small periods of consensus with the presidency of Cyprien Ntaryamira,a Hutu, in 1994, which was later followed by his death in the plane crash with Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana, leading to further instability. Late in 1994, a commission agreed to establish a coalition government led by Hutu Sylvestre Ntibantunganya, yet fighting only intensified despite efforts of peace and reconciliation. In 1996, a coup d'etat under the tutsi-led army put Buyoya back in power, with much domestic and international backlash.
