The immediate reason was that he, as MDR chairman, had consented to President Habyarimana's decision to have Prime Minister DismasNsengiyaremye replaced by Agathe Uwilingiyimana as of 17 July 1993.
Politically, the President saw in the nomination of Agathe Uwilingiyimana a means to exploit frictions within the MDR and to divide the main opposition party.
One MDR faction was centred around DismasNsengiyaremye and opposed to fundamental reforms (the so-called PowerGroup, said to follow the former Parmehutu ideology).
The peace talks began to move forward when, after the MRND formed a government with opposition political parties in 1992, the then Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, both of whom came from parties in opposition to the President, represented the government at the negotiations in the northern Tanzanian town of Arusha.
Prime Minister DismasNsengiyaremye repeatedly accused President Habyarimana of obstructing the peace talks and condoning political violence.
In July 1993 this conflict resulted in the replacement of DismasNsengiyaremye by Agathe Uwilingiyimana as Prime Minister.
