Governor Clément Kayishema of Kibuye Prefecture orchestrated a series of massacres targeting Tutsi who had sought refuge in the Gatwaro stadium, Saint-Jean Complex church, and Home Saint-Jean. Tutsi were promised safety and encouraged to gather, then surrounded and slaughtered. In Kibuye Prefecture, an estimated 59,050 Tutsi were killed — over 95% of the Tutsi population of the prefecture.
