Authorities in the United States last week arrested a one Eric Tabaro Nshimiye, a 52-year old Rwandan who has for the last three decades evaded justice, to the agony of survivors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, especially those from Huye District.
Tabaro, who was a medical student at the then National University of Rwanda, was a notorious youth leader of MRND, the political party that masterminded the Genocide in which over a million innocent lives were mercilessly killed.For 30 years, he lied to the US authorities about his role in the Genocide against the Tutsi where he had successfully disguised as an engineer at Goodyear, a US-based tyre manufacturer, where he rose through the ranks to become their principal engineer.
In 2019, he appeared in court as a witness to defend Jean Leonard Teganya, a former classmate and now-convicted Rwandan genocide perpetrator who at the time faced removal from the US over his role in the Genocide against the Tutsi.There was a problem processing your submission.
