Is it true that the Rwandan genocide ended in July 1994 when the Rwandan Patriotic Front captured Kigali?

Yes. A reference article on the Rwandan Patriotic Front states the genocide ended on 4 July with the RPF conquest of the entire country, and other sources place the RPF securing Rwanda in July 1994.
