From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dr. Ignace Murwanashyaka (born 14 May 1963) is the current leader of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, a Rwandan Hutu rebel group operating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Murwanashyaka was born in Butare and has studied in West Germany. In November 2005 he was blacklisted by the United Nations for violating an arms embargo aimed at promoting peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and subjected to a travel bans and assets freeze.[1]

He was arrested on 8 April 2006 in Mannheim, Germany for immigration violations and released shortly after. Rwanda indicated it would seek his extradition for alleged crimes committed during the Rwandan Genocide.[2]
