By the start of the invasion from Uganda by the army of the Rwanda Patriotic Front, a rebel army made up mostly of refugee Tutsi who had helped Uganda's Museveni seize control of the presidency, Habyarimana's supporters had shrunk down to the ''[[akazu]]'' ("little house" or "President's household"), which was mainly composed of an informal group of [[Hutu Power]] adherents from his home region, namely from the northwestern provinces of Gisenyi and Ruhengeri. | By the start of the invasion from Uganda by the army of the Rwanda Patriotic Front, a rebel army made up mostly of refugee Tutsi who had helped Uganda's Museveni seize control of the presidency, Habyarimana's supporters had shrunk down to the ''[[akazu]]'' ("little house" or "President's household"), which was mainly composed of an informal group of [[Hutu Power]] adherents from his home region, namely from the northwestern provinces of Gisenyi and Ruhengeri. | ||
From 1975 to 1990, the MRND and the Habyarimana government were one. Local administrations simultaneously represented the official party as well as the local authority. Legal and party policies were communicated and enforced from the Head of State down through the local administrative units, especially the general policy of Umuganda where Rwandans were required to "allocate half a day's labour per week" to infrastructural projects. Habyarimana is sometimes described as a moderate though the party is said to have used right-wing [[propaganda]] methods, advanced a conservative political agenda and was anti-communist. | From 1975 to 1990, the MRND and the Habyarimana government were one.
