Kigeli V Ndahindurwa Appointment as King
After King Mutara Rudahigwa died under mysterious circumstances in 1959, he was replaced on the throne by his younger brother Jean-Baptiste Ndahindurwa.
Political instability and tribal conflict grew despite the efforts of King Kigeli Ndahindurwa. An increasingly restive Hutu population, encouraged by the Belgian military, sparked a revolt in November 1959. In 1961, King Kigeli V was in Kinshasa to meet with Secretary-General of the United Nations Dag Hammarskjöld when Dominique Mbonyumutwa, with the support of the Belgian government, led a coup d'état that took control of the government. The coup resulted in the overthrow of King Kigeli V and he initially fled into exile to Tanganyika, where he lived in Dar es Salaam (1961–1962). Then he moved to Nairobi, Kenya (1963–1971). He lived also in Kampala, Uganda (1972–1978) and in Nairobi (1979–1992) and since 1992 he has lived in Washington, D.C., United States.
