Last Saturday's arrest of Félicien Kabuga, one of the alleged masterminds behind Rwanda's 1994 genocide, brings victims and survivors one step closer to justice 26 years later. Kabuga is charged with genocide and related crimes during the genocide, and had been living in France under a false identity.
Kabuga was close to Rwandan President Juvénal Habyarimana, who died when his plane was shot down over the Rwandan capital, Kigali, on April 6, 1994. The crash triggered the start of three months of ethnic killings across Rwanda on an unprecedented scale. Kabuga was one of the chief financiers of the Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM), which incited to genocide.
Kabuga’s arrest is a major victory for victims and survivors of the genocide in Rwanda who have waited more than two decades to see this leading figure face justice.
