The Coalition for the Defence of the Republic ("Coalition pour la Défense de la République" in French) was a Rwandan genocidal Hutu political party founded by Juvénal Habyarimana in march 1992. The Coalition for the Defence of the Republic (CDR) was allied with the ruling Mouvement républicain national pour la démocratie et le développement party. The CDR's slogan was "Mube maso" ("Watch out!"), which meant that Hutus should beware or the Tutsis would rule them as they had in the past. Unlike the MRNDD, the CDR did not agree to the Arusha Accords and Statement of Ethics. It was therefore shut out of the Broad-Based Transitional Government. The party was led by Jean Shyirambere Barahinyura, Jean-Bosco Barayawiza, and Martin Bucyana. Several important members of the CDR, including Jean-Bosco Barayagwiza and Ferdinand Nahimana, were convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda for genocide, direct and public incitement to commit genocide, conspiracy to commit genocide, and other crimes against humanity[1]. The CDR created militia the Impuzamugambi ("Those who have the same goal") militia, which took part in the killings[2].
