In France arrested the alleged organizer and sponsor of one of the worst genocide in human history — the mass extermination of the Tutsis in Rwanda, Africa in 1994. A month and a half the massacre killed up to one million people. As an influential businessman staged one of the most feared vehicles in the history of mankind — in the material life.
African businessman félicien Kabuga was hiding from law enforcement for 26 years, living quietly with forged documents in the suburbs of Paris. Kabuga was one of the most wanted fugitives on the planet. For his capture had organized a complex police operation involving several countries. The French assistance was provided by the EU, the European police Agency Interpol, the U.S. and Rwanda.
Kabuga was one of the main organizers of mass murders in the African country of Rwanda in 1994, where members of one ethnic group the Hutus massacred nearly a million compatriots, referring to the Tutsi. The conflict between ethnic Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda erupted in the mid-twentieth century. The situation has deteriorated in the 80s against the backdrop of economic crisis in the country, and in the early 90s there was civil war broke out, which ended with the conclusion of peace. The new government, it seems, represented the interests of the Hutu and Tutsi.
the delicate balance collapsed on 6 April 1994 (after the death of President Habyarimana). The plane, which was the head of state was shot down. The next day, killed and Prime Minister Rwanda Agatha Uwilingiyimana. After that, the military seized power radicals. They massacred members of the Tutsi in the government and got rid of their compatriots who held moderate political views and did not support the killings.
As later found out a consequence, guilty in the attack has been the radical Hutu did not want to establish a new order in which they would have to share power with representatives of the ethnic group Tutsi. In the death of the President came to power, the military blamed the Tutsi. In fact, the militants in the government ordered the complete destruction of an entire people.
a Key role in the beginning of the slaughter played tycoon Felicien Kabuga, a wealthy in the 90s due to close ties with the authorities of the country. The businessman had father-in-law former Minister of planning Augustin Ngirabatware, who in 2012 was sentenced to 35 years in prison. The oligarch met with the President of the country.
Kabuga gathered militias the Interahamwe of the representatives of the Hutu people and equipped with their own money hundreds of thousands with machetes. The businessman was not only a sponsor, but an ideologue of the genocide the radio all day broadcast calls for massacre and destroyed��Yu of the Tutsi people. The calls worked. The crowd of brutal thugs began to destroy the people of the Tutsi people. After reports of the radio station Kabuga on the alleged locations of Tutsis there quickly appeared the militants, who killed people.
According to eyewitnesses, the militants of the Hutu did not spare anyone — children hacked to pieces in front of parents, women were raped and killed and body dumped in the pit. People were rounded up in barns, and then crushed by bulldozers. Trying to escape was torn into pieces. All this horrible massacre happened in front of representatives of international organizations and the UN peacekeeping force, which virtually remained indifferent.
two months of mass terror, the Tutsis were able to form active military resistance to the militants of the Hutu to seize power in the country. The organizers of the genocide, one of the leaders of which was félicien Kabuga, had to run.
After these events in the neighboring country was established the international Tribunal, who for twenty years was engaged in the search for those responsible for the genocide, hosted in Rwanda. The Tribunal considered the case 93 of the accused, among whom were statesmen and political figures, officers of power structures, religious and community leaders. Among them was listed and Kabuga. Back in the late 90s of the businessman in absentia condemned for the mass murder of people, but he was gone. This time he waits for his real punishment.
African executioner will be judged by the International residual mechanism for criminal tribunals (MOMUC), created by the UN in 2010. MAMUT became heir to the international Tribunal which judged the participants in the civil war in Yugoslavia.
