{{Interpol has arrested a key suspect of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, who has been on the run for the last 18 years.}}<\/p>\n
Vedaste Banguwiha, a former prominent figure in the genocidal regime and a member of the National Republican Movement for Democracy and Development (MRND), was arrested in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).<\/p>\n
During and before the Genocide, Banguwiha was a famous businessman in western Rwanda and was awarded a tender to purchase and supply weapons that were used to massacre Tutsis.<\/p>\n
He is also alleged to have incited the Interahamwe militia to erect a roadblock in the former Cyangugu town (now Rusizi), near Hotel des Chutte with an aim of stopping and killing the Tutsi.<\/p>\n
Witnesses accuse Banguwiha of facilitating the Interahamwe by transporting them and rewarding them for killing the Tutsi.<\/p>\n
A local newspaper said that Banguwiha was arrested in Katanga and later transferred to the capital Kinshasa.<\/p>\n
Kigali is in contact with Kinshasa to have the fugitive transferred to Rwanda to stand trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
