Félicien Kabuga

Félicien Kabuga

Félicien Kabuga (born 1935) is a Rwandan businessman, accused of bankrolling and participating in the Rwandan Genocide. [http://www.economist.com/world/international/displaystory.cfm?story_id=9441341 How the mighty are falling] , "The Economist", 5 July 2007. Accessed online 17 July 2007.]

Early life

Kabuga was born in Muniga, in the commune of Mukarange, prefecture of Byumba, Rwanda. A multimillionaire, he was closely connected to Juvénal Habyarimana's MRND party.

Life as a fugitive

In June 1994, after Rwanda was conquered by the RPF, Kabuga fled the country. He first attempted to enter Switzerland, but was ordered to leave. He went to Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and was later believed to be resident in Nairobi, Kenya.

KTN news network in Kenya reported on June 14, 2008 that Kabuga had been arrested by Kenya Police the day before and is being held at Gigiri Police Station in Nairobi. Later, the suspect was found to be a local university lecturer, not Kabuga as previously thought, and released.

The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda issued an international arrest warrant for Kabuga in August 1999, charging him with 11 counts, including genocide, conspiracy to commit genocide, and complicity in genocide. As of 2007, he remains at large.

According to June 2008 reports by the Norwegian-based African Press International (API) Kabunga was in hiding in Oslo, and might be seeking to turn himself in. [ [http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article2458892.ece Rwandan war criminal reportedly in Oslo] , Aftenposten, 02 June 2008]
