Rwigema was born in Gitarama, in the south of Rwanda. Considered a Tutsi, in 1960 he and his family fled to Uganda and settled in a refugee camp in Nshungerezi, Ankole following the Hutu Revolution of 1959 and the ouster of King Kigeli V.
After finishing high school in 1976, he went to Tanzania and joined the Front for National Salvation (FRONASA), a rebel group headed by Yoweri Museveni, the brother of his friend Salim Saleh. It was at this point that he began calling himself Fred Rwigema. Later that year, he traveled to Mozambique and joined the FRELIMO rebels who were fighting for the liberation of Mozambique from Portugal’s colonial power.

On 1 October 1990, Rwigyema led the a splinter group of 10,000 NRA troops in an invasion of northern Rwanda. What became the RPF chose this date as it was close to Ugandan independence day on 9 October. This served as an excuse for Rwigyema, as the movement could be disguised from the main NRA as a military parade.
Prunier speculates that Kagame manipulated Bayingana and another commander named Chris Bunyenyezi into killing Rwigyema. The theory, which he says is shared by former RPF members, is that Rwigyema came from a rival clan from Kagame, and that Kagame wanted to eliminate a possible future national leader. Rwigyema was replaced as president by Kagame who eventually led the RPF to victory in July 1994.
