“Felicien Kabuga, a suspect in the 1994 Rwanda genocide, has died in custody, a UN court said on Saturday. He ⁠was ⁠93 years old. The court, the UN International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT), said it had ordered an inquiry into the circumstances of his ​death. Kabuga was once one of the world’s most-wanted fugitives. He was accused of encouraging and bankrolling the massacres between April and June 1994, in which Hutu extremists killed ​more than 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus in 100 ​days. … Kabuga evaded arrest for more than two decades after the genocide, using a succession of false passports and aided by a network of former Rwandan allies. … Hist trial started in 20222. … Kabuga, however, ​was later ruled unfit to stand trial ​because of dementia.” (05/16/26)
