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 Hammarskjold 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 Tanzania, 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.
