How could he be hiding in plain sight in a quiet Paris suburb? After 26 years on the run, the past has finally caught up with Félicien Kabuga, the alleged supplier of machetes for the Rwandan genocide and the founder of its Radio Mille Collines propaganda arm. François Picard's panel asks where international justice will best be served and whether Kabuga's capture could net more ringleaders in a grim chapter of history that to this day still poisons relations between France and Rwanda.

But that further proves the involvement of France in the Rwanda Genocide even though many may deny it, provided the military equipments to the rebels

France betrayed him, but they did know he was in the country long time ago, he must be put to jail

@ssemujurobert6790 3 years ago

Why don't they handle him over to the Rwanda authorities so that he can reap what he sawed?

I dont understand why these criminals always have to have a "Fair" trial,,, they weren't being "Fair" when killing all those people!! He needs to be taken to Rwanda,, thats where he commited his crimes!!

I am glad he was finally caught but its to bad he lived as a free man all of these years when he should of been rotting in jail. I hope the victims of the terrible genocide see justice before he dies.

@marianmendy4779 2 years ago

I just can't understand why all these perpetrators can't take trials in the countries where they didn't it , is it that Rawanda doesn't have competent lawyers France didn't do anything during the genocide so why would they interfere now

In the other video supposedly done in 1996. The Demon telling his story clearly stated that, " just after the belgians left / moved out of harms way, the genocide started" !!! THINK !!!

Why am i not surprised the Nigerian could not respond real time in the introductory part. Our internet speed is very slow. You are done speak in Canada but that when it begins to transmit what you are saying in nigeria. really annoying
