I am very happy to hear of this today, but it is tempered by the fact that many organizers and murderers (including clergy) are still at large. Including the thousands (estimated 15,000) who still live in the DRC.
Like roachboy says, this was not the doing of one man. This was the act of thousands who decided to pick up weapons and murder their neighbors before fleeing to the Congo to be fed, clothed and housed for years under the auspices of international aid organizations while they plotted further attacks on the Tutsis of Rwanda. Attacks that have never really stopped and are in fact escalating this year.
The scope of the madness that took place in Rwanda in 1994 and beyond is almost beyond conception. It is certainly beyond credence to expect that justice will ever be reached.
Yet it is something.
