Rwandan war criminal
reportedly in Oslo
The man who’s charged with financing genocide in Rwanda is reportedly hiding out in Oslo, and may want to turn himself in.
 An arrest warrant was issued for Felicien Kabuga in 1999. |
Felicien Kabuga, a wealthy Rwandan businessman who’s been on the run for 14 years, reportedly drove over the border from Sweden two months ago and has been staying with another man from Rwanda in a flat in Oslo.
The editor of Norwegian-based African Press International (API) told a Kenyan newspaper that he had interviewed Kabuga in an Oslo hotel room. Editor Sammy Kipterer Korir told newspaper Sunday Nation that he’d been invited to the hotel room by a friend from Sudan.
Korir didn’t respond to inquiries from Aftenposten.
API reported that Kabuga, now age 72, wanted to return to Rwanda before his health deteriorates. He reportedly said he would seek asylum in Norway if the Rwandan authorities refuse to negotiate with him.
Rwandan authorities have rejected negotiations with the alleged war criminal. A United Nations tribunal issued a warrant for Kabuga’s arrest in 1999. Diplomats and tribunal officials reportedly have dismissed Korir’s report of meeting Kabuga as a hoax.
