Rwandan news agencies have revealed that France has been hosting former Rwanda Major General Aloys Ntiwiragabo, a key suspect in the 1994 Rwandan Genocide.
The ex-general has been living in France for the last decade, reports said.
Ntiwiragabo has been residing in France without a residence permit, despite being the the subject of an Interpol wanted persons Red Notice, the reports said.
According to news agencies in France, Ntiwiragabo had requested asylum from France but was denied for being held guilty of war crimes, and yet was not deported – nor extradited to Rwanda.
Chief Of Military IntelligenceÂ
News Agencies earlier reported that Ntiwiragabo had been living in Orleans, south of Paris.
Rwanda had sent a letter to France requesting Ntiwiragabo’s extradition in August 2020, at which point the country – along with Interpol and Rwanda – had already dropped an arrest warrant for him.
Ntiwiragabo is said to be one of the leaders who orchestrated the Rwandan Genocide.
He had been Chief of Military Intelligence and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army up until 1993.
Accused of crimes against humanity, he is also the founder of the armed rebel group Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR).
