1973?

I'm really not a fan of the Wiki news-style titles in the formal Date-Place-Thing, although I can certainly see why they're simple and attractive for that reason. Nonetheless, I suggest we look for another title - not least because Rwanda only seems to have had one coup d'état so the "1973" disambig is not really needed. Plus, it's French commonname seems to be "Coup d'Etat du 5 Juillet" so a translation could work. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? —Brigade Piron (talk) 14:28, 13 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Also, was it really "bloodless"? Wasn't the President killed at very least? —Brigade Piron (talk) 15:44, 18 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
