Police officers from the Netherlands are in the country to investigate and gather information about genocide suspects living in the European nation.

Of recent, several countries have taken action aimed at bringing to justice people suspected of having taken part in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi.

A Norwegian court has ruled that a Rwandan genocide suspect be extradited and the Netherlands recently sentenced another to life in prison.

Other countries are conducting trials and investigations in regard to people suspected to have participated in the Genocide.

Many genocide criminals have assumed new identities and sought to obliterate records of their past! This is aimed at evading justice.

And it may not be that easy to detect them in many western countries, where they have sought to hide.

Thus without investigating who they are when a whistle is blown about them, they continue to evade justice.

It is important that other countries follow suit, and carry out investigations about people that have been pointed out as having played a part in the Genocide.

It is, moreover, imperative that Rwandan communities out there, especially genocide survivors, help in the investigations and identify to relevant authorities those still on the run or living under different disguises overseas.
