Félicien Kabuga
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Félicien Kabuga (born 1935) is an Rwandan businessman, accused of participating in the Rwandan Genocide.
Kabuga was born in Muniga, in the commune of Mukarange, prefecture of Byumba, Rwanda. An extremely rich businessman, he was closely connected to Juvénal Habyarimana's MRND party.
In June 1994, after Rwanda was conquered by the RPF, Kabuga fled the country. He first attempted to enter Switzerland, but was ordered to leave. He went to Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and was later believed to be resident in Nairobi, Kenya.
The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda issued an international arrest warrant for Kabuga in August 1999, charging him with 11 counts, including genocide, conspiracy to commit genocide, and complicity in genocide. As of 2006, he remains at large.
