We are going to come back today to the arrest of one of the most wanted fugitives in the world: Félicien Kabuga, presented as the financier of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.

Publicity

His fortune and address book may have helped him escape justice for so long, but it's over. The run stopped last Saturday in the Paris suburbs. In principle, he should be surrendered to an international tribunal and tried for genocide and crimes against humanity. What can we expect from this upcoming trial? What future for the other personalities involved in the genocide and still at large?

Our Guests :
- Hélène Dumas, historian in charge of research at the CNRS.
- Alain Gauthier, president of the Collective of Civil Parties for Rwanda.
