Fifteen years after the Rwandan genocide, which saw the massacre of about 800 000 people, prosecutors say hundreds of suspected perpetrators are still at large. They include many of those on the wanted list of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), presumed to be living under false identities in Belgium, Canada, France, Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) experts say. Some are out in the open claiming political refugee status, as they are eyed with suspicion by families of the victims. After the massacre of the Tutsi minority many Hutu militants fled the troops of Rwandan President Paul Kagame to neighbouring DRC, still holding on to their weapons. Some, like Felicien Kabuga, who allegedly bankrolled the 1994 massacre, stayed in Kenya, which according to the ICTR, refuses to apprehend him.
As a matter of law and justice, as a matter of social stability, the leaders should be found and brought to trial. At this point, this is for me mere housekeeping, part of cleaning up the mess afterward. "It Can't Be Just About Us"--Frank Schnittger, ETian Extraordinaire
