Where is our timely Gacaca report?
Editor, The recent release of a report on the Gacaca Jurisdictions by Human Rights Watch (Rwanda: Justice Compromised, May 31, 2011) followed by the understandable dismay of our Justice Minister (Gacaca report misleading – Gov’t, June 8, 2011) at the misleading nature of the HRW report is reason to reflect on two things; (a) judging from our Minister’s reaction, we are showing the world that we care what HRW says and, (b) HRW “seems” intent on hijacking Rwanda’s rightful ownership of the Gacaca process.
