Coup of Rucunshu
The Coup of Rucunshu was a succession struggle at the Rwandan court in late 1896. After the death of Kigeli IV Rwabugiri, his chosen heir Mibambwe IV Rutarindwa was attacked at Rucunshu by the faction of the queen mother Kanjogera and her brothers, and died with many of his supporters. Kanjogera's young son was installed as Yuhi V Musinga, leaving power with her Bega clan.
