Félicien Kabuga was on the run for 26 years. He is considered one of the suspected masterminds behind the genocide in Rwanda and was arrested in France on May 16, 2020. Now he has to answer before a UN court in The Hague.
According to today's first hearing, the well over 80-year-old businessman is accused of genocide as well as aiding and abetting it in a number of cases. Kabuga is said to have financed and equipped the Hutu militia Interahamwe,
which carried out the majority of the murders of at least 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu in 1994, and the accused directly for the radio and TV broadcaster RTLM, which was involved in the genocide and his public calls for massacres of the Tutsi minority were responsible.
