Ndadaye, a member of the Hutu ethnic group, was elected in June 1993, in Burundi's first democratic presidential election. He was kidnapped and killed less than four months later as part of a coup d'etat by Tutsi military members. His killing was the event that triggered the beginning of the Burundi Civil War.
