Arrest of Rwandan Genocide Financier Félicien Kabuga
Félicien Kabuga, the alleged financier behind the Rwandan genocide, was arrested in Paris after a 26-year manhunt. Kabuga, who had been living under a false identity, was apprehended during a coordinated raid involving French authorities and international partners. The British security services, along with investigators from the US, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Luxembourg, and Switzerland, played crucial roles in the operation. Kabuga is accused of funding the RTLM radio station, which incited hatred against Tutsis, and supplying machetes to the Interahamwe militia. He will be tried by the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, a UN body. The article also discusses Kabuga's years as a fugitive, his connections to former Kenyan president Daniel arap Moi, and the challenges faced by those who previously attempted to locate him, including the murders of individuals who came close to revealing his whereabouts.

Hague court releases Rwanda genocide suspect due to dementia
Felicien Kabuga, a Rwandan financier accused of funding the RTLM radio station which incited the Tutsi genocide, will not face conviction by the UN tribunal due to dementia. Kabuga evaded capture for years using aliases until his 2020 arrest in France. The International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT) ruled that continuing his trial would violate his rights given his inability to participate meaningfully. This decision has disappointed survivors and specialists, raising concerns about the effectiveness of international tribunals. The article also touches on the historical context of the Rwandan Genocide, the role of colonialism in the ethnic tensions, and parallels with current events in Ukraine, where authorities seek a tribunal for Russian war crimes.
