This one puts in the dark fifty four year old cant seem to come off former head of the ones in intelligence one of the alleged orcas traders the genocide of the nearly eight hundred thousand dead in just one hundred days. Why the case is being tried in paris instead of kigali is a story unto itself. So is the fact that opens to the twenty years after the facts. Its actually judges of allowing cameras in the courts on lighting the historical nature the trial. As for the want of genocide. Well it still haunts africa and shrubs which kigali at the time accused of complicity and stepped in and create a buffer zone to stop revenge attacks against the treaty hutus was even severed relations for time. The two thousand six mm french investigating magistrate. It is present all too common of staging the downing of his predecessors plane. The act which precipitated chance rwandan forces now deployed side by side along the french in the Central African republic.

Um lets of before. We go to our panel. The crew to record its essential courts in paris and join falls and gets the irvine has been following the opening arguments of todays trial. He asked as he becomes law. Is he a reduced their proverbial big fish when it comes to the orchestration of the rwandan genocide. Hes a first date time france is brought to an individual from the genocide. On trial in france for that reason it is a start hes definitely generation lot of attention here in paris and then say you is a big fish it would be to the ease of being accused of being in the steam genocide in the seat in their crimes against you not see he is seen as not so much a hands on in the killings of more one of the organizers in the genocides and after that go she said the fear that there was not the individuals also residing here in france that perhaps theyd like to see a in front of the courts ahead of us doesnt take much to be stephanie somebody that sounds akin to be very close to present the outing on up on that day closer both of which is that werent part of the time of nineteen ninety four and indeed according to the witness statements gathered against in here and they stop they said that he did it despite being a after max into ninety six he did supply of weapons and a two to two minutes at the time dd keyboard is at least encourage them to a students the need to seize that puts checkpoints at devos can i ask you on his fifty four years old. Hes been in a wheelchair since nineteen eighty six meters in a car accident. He seemed to twenty seven defendants care of when dean indeed he seems very relaxed assyrian and in good form i have to say he is sitting in his own here to there in the course has only been told that did nothing today still finished up around seven or eight pm local time when there is a numbers leading to take him away from the court s again but even they were just discussing than the gnostic movements in the course that jacksons nineteen eighty six in the present it took was no pressing sneak and left asking industry that was the time that he stopped being an active sellers if you like you need to change his life entirely use my young kids and im really asking that does not act on the incredible mental distress in the kind that really remaining quite defiant saying no you know its accepted very quickly the fox and you know he turned towards this new dyson indies as we know he went on to become part of the president ial guard for the former president of the iron on. Its been said in a yurt your thoughts on this trial opening today. Her into his room. It is. We did this. Though. Approval would be over. This disorder room for storage. Beginning with someone may seem to bother because it was someone warned austral coal was born in maine. And there was visiting around the rio the reference to the crew bus use of video on though. And in. It is talked about it. He is the sauce trial. The france is also a werewolf. Read. Dentist. And on the front fences but this is true. When they called for that long what what france implication was a more densely and it gonna be speaking about it inner up just ready for my mention of the court its thats a couple which just like the cop cars filled couple track down the tourists nazis. This trial in part made possible by the relentless pursuit of that franklin wants the couple the irvine who went to the champagne region east of paris to meet them frances genocide hunters the past fourteen years this couple has given every spare minute to reading researching and trying to track down suspects involved in the rwandan genocide. The new one and started we take on the job security at the sydney has that with the criminals can put two and a justice system. I was doing anything about it. When the professional investigate as well we decided we had to stop someone to say we would just take it in one case at a time. Specific suspect. When was he was being said about him. We need to go and check if thats too. The four corner. The seat on aprils six to nineteen ninety four rwandan president given up on carrying on a tutu was killed after his plane was shot down kate is to wear and how arctic is the minority tutsis of being behind the attack although the case remains unresolved to this day the genocide began with the hundred days over eight hundred thousand people were killed. The vast majority of them to see. As the violence well the group of tutsi rebels who had been exiled in uganda fought their way back in to wonder whether on as they fought to save their people and caused him to choose to flee. Even though she used to press charges against us now see the kind of backing to present and nine. Who do you wonder did a lot of people are slated to receive weapons gave orders to kill tutsis if they showed up at checkpoints like it. We have seen witness accounts to his office but he did in terms of making it one couple who are when you have many many witnesses saying the same thing. He concludes that reason i wanted to ask us in the kind that stands accused of complicity in genocide and complicity in crimes against humanity. He denies all charges. Tracy lee is the case is clear there is no substantial evidence against him. The foreign soldiers soon be time well work in the Intelligence Services and came through the same region as president of the arjuna is a connection many see as proof of guilt but its a Shortcut Keys noise dont accept. And this gives me a while to get done the skills to become who i was not as the government. I have great admiration for president of the arena and if you happen to come from the same region as he did salsa was also the president ial ballot the president can come sit down and get candy to make decisions on taking all the twenty second of two to one city can do is try as frances first on the rwandan genocide. The defense team fears this could play against in twenty years after the events frances first artist to begin on tuesday that three fourths of the verdict expected on march fourteen. We love food for thought there isnt a good day you read the defense attorney saying he was not someone from the inner circle thats not how the french press has been reporting on the stump and was in fact its tough but two the judgment of the tree and is very important for friends to speak and very quickly for twenty years. The events with the engine run in two years ago. Ive just been a black border in france. Oh and the rwanda genocide that didnt exist in france. Use a black hole the month has been Parliamentary Commission to testify. The idea that all was done. Distraction for intoxication from not looking good there. Bt of the event not looking good. Im trying to understand what happens on the ground so that they can fix intoxication the station up and stupid stuff like or would even crash the man who leads the beginning that marked the beginning of the genocide which is not interested in the beginning but we did them out to work trying to understand really what happens in ronda and ninety four weve done on the proceeds would be the first occasion friends to make the score was not being done to know. Its very important step the human rights advocates pointing out that some youth had trials of rwandan genocide suspects in the list or belgium switzerland norway netherlands canada and is one now going on in germany it couldnt have happened earlier. Its realistically in political terms. France is encrypted using the country is in the foreign Investor Rights testified that he chewed on them and for each other. Another reason for that is the celtic fringe to the kitchen and the roundup fight. We should have gone or going to go to seize the last step of the last occasion and we opted to return. We are very intelligent. In the south. Yes i quite agree the due date. In dolby said unfortunately in and complicity between the French Administration and the gentle side to run the administration us to be dismantled and that we have to explain whats happened and in no way you know z says genocide was a part of the fossil creek. She knows just when she reached inside the fifteen fifty eight theyre being offered to the constitution that it was just here for other president s. So there was a separate process decision process in france in which the parliament s most interested in which you go to sleep. It was Foreign Policy on one hand and africa policy of exactly when to visit the uber reserved for the week she will do as a key to process decision process which is best to respond to the query off the president of the site on african affairs. So its exactly the same process so when for example being the first step of the genocide because the genocide busy and often on process in which your closet or in fifteen eighteen fifty nine in sixty two and sixteen a guide to try a new front in the ninety two indians are preventing ninety two would be a dash of opinions you with all human rights and decide to make the human rights. Opposition yesterday he didnt recall trying to explain what happened in ninety two and was afraid to confront them on the stock probably not a one inch out of politics into print industry change what happened. Wheels before the genocide. To explain that there would be aware of mechanism in place. So come on why this administration and didnt want to hear
