Formerly Zaire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is located in central Africa and has a small coastline.

Life in America is fantastic compared to nearly any other country in the world, but this sort of anti-American foolishness has become increasingly popular over the past few years.

The United Nations Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals (MICT) has turned its focus on Fulgence Kayishema, a suspected Rwandan genocide perpetrator who it believes is in South Africa.

Major Protais Mpiranya commanded the presidential guard during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. He was wanted by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), which accused him, among other crimes, of murdering several political figures. The prosecutor of the UN mechanism that succeeded the ICTR confirmed his death yesterday, Thursday 12 May, in a press release, and presented in an annex a summary of the results of its investigations on the fugitive.
