I guess the US media isn't really interested in this story. Rwandan genocide suspect Felicien Kabuga arrives in The Hague to face trial
Felicien Kabuga, suspected of having helped to finance the 1994 Rwandan genocide, has been moved from France to The Hague to stand trial on charges of genocide, a UN tribunal said Monday.
"His initial appearance will be held in due course before a judge of the trial chamber assigned to his case," the United Nations International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals said in a statement.
He apparently spent the past 20 years living in France, just outside of Paris, under an assumed name. He was one of the richest men in Rwanda, and is accused of helping to finance the ethnic Hutu militias in their genocide.
The groups killed hundreds of thousands of Tutsis and moderate Hutus in Rwanda during a 100-day period in 1994.
History. Ignorance. Rinse. Repeat.
