Simburudali slams West over Genocide cases

GASABO - The President of IBUKA, Theodore Simburudali, has expressed dissatisfaction over justice rendered to the suspects of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi, many of whom continue to enjoy their freedom in Western countries. IBUKA is the umbrella organisation of Genocide survivors’ associations in the country. Simburudali made the revelations on Tuesday as he addressed the congregation gathered at the United States Embassy in Kigali to pay tribute to members of their staff who perished in the Genocide. He said that the world cannot fight Genocide without bringing to book those who perpetrated it, underlining that the efforts by western countries to tackle the issue seem to be slow thus not very helpful. “Genocide survivors are disappointed in the way western countries handle cases involving Genocide perpetrators,” he said as he also brought messages of comfort and hope to those who lost their family members during the mayhem that left over a million people dead.
