{{Norwegian court has condemned Thursday, February 14 a Rwandan national to 21 years in prison for his role in the Rwanda\u2019s 1994 genocide against Tutsis.}}<\/p>\n
Rwanda\u2019s Prosecutor General Martin Ngoga welcomed the verdict yesterday but warned that the task ahead shouldn\u2019t be overlooked.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was the best prosecution would achieve under the circumstances. We commend the efforts by our counterparts there for a job well done so far. Nevertheless the task ahead in this case and others as well should not be overlooked,\u201d said Ngoga.<\/p>\n
