Rwanda is called the international community to speed up the hunt and trial of genocide suspects
The Rwanda
Tuesday urged the international community to speed up the hunt and trial of genocide suspects to mark the 10th anniversary of the massacres that took an estimated 800 000 deaths in the country in 1994.
At a press conference in Nairobi, Ambassador of Rwanda to Kenya, Seth Kamanzi, said that many Rwandans were convinced that justice was an essential part of the painful process of reconciliation.
“I urge the international community to stop genocide suspects and bring them to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in Arusha, Tanzania, for trial,” said Kamanzi to reporters gathered in Rwandan Embassy in Nairobi.
The Rwandan genocide was triggered by the assassination of President Juvenal Habyarimana, an ethnic Hutu, April 6, 1994, whose plane was shot down while preparing to land at Kigali airport, capital Rwanda.
Over one hundred days of fighting in this small nation of the Great Lakes region, some 800 000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed by Hutu militiamen.
The Rwandan ambassador criticized the International Criminal Tribunal for the UN for its failure in the development of the prosecuted main instigator of the 1994 genocide.
“The main instigator, Theoneste Bagosora, has not been found so far despite his involvement in the genocide,” said Kamanzi.
According to the Rwandan ambassador, his country had arrested 66 of 81 people wanted for crimes related to genocide, but only 18 of the ridges are found guilty over the last 10 years.
Kamanzi also criticized the international community for not being able to stop the massacres of a decade ago, saying: “The international community could not help Rwanda after and during the genocide as the ‘wished. The genocide devastated our country, making widows and orphans “.
But he noted that his country had made remarkable progress in rebuilding the nation despite “little help” from the international community.
“We have repatriated more than 4 million Rwandan refugees for resettlement. We have prepared the foundation for good governance by setting up democratic institutions for economic recovery, “said Kamanzi.
