FOCUS © FRANCE 24

After more than 20 years on the run, Félicien Kabuga was arrested in May 2020 near Paris. Once rich and famous, the 87-year-old is accused of financing, training and encouraging the Hutu militias known as Interahamwe during the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis. As his trial opens in The Hague, the hearings will be followed closely back in Rwanda by victims of the genocide. In particular, they hope to find out more about the planning of the atrocities.
