Canada Deported Léon Mugesera: Will the United States Deport Leopold Munyakazi? Bosco Habimana, February 12, 2013
Léon Mugesera is infamously known for his 1992 genocidal motivational speeches encouraging his audience to kill what he called the cockroaches and dump their bodies into the river Nyabarongo so that they could go back to Ethiopia where they belong. After many Mugeseras indoctrination tours throughout the country, his followers took the ideology and tasks from the extremist in chief seriously.
As the result of Mugeseras endeavor, Hutu extremists, MRND loyalists and Interahamwe militias took up the task they have been assigned to. They went to every street, village, town and city hunting and killing every Tutsi they could find. The memories of horrific images of bodies, some cut into pieces, others with women stripped naked, children dead in their mothers back floating in river Nyabarongo and Lake Victoria will ever be in peoples mind (at least those who care). Mugesera message was not only intended to annihilate the Tutsi population, it was also meant to make sure that their death inflicts an excruciating and inhumane pain to the victims. Like most of the genocide against Tutsi architects, Mugesera managed to flee from Rwanda to Canada.
Initially the genocidaire in chief seemed to have got away with crimes of genocide. He managed to cheat justice for two decades (living freely in Canada) despite all the strong evidence of his role in inciting genocide against the Tutsi. He managed to delay his deportation for a while. But as we all knew it was a matter of time before the arm of justice caught with him. The blood on his hands was too thick to divert justice. The cries of babies who were dumped into the river on the back of their dead mothers, the misery of orphans whose mothers were raped and killed before their very eyes continued to haunt Léon Mugesera.
Now as we speak he is spending sleepless nights in the prison in his homeland where the ideology he preached left thousands dead, orphaned and may widowed. The orphans whose parents were brutally killed were at the Kigali airport to get a glimpse of the mothers, fathers, sisters, cousins, and aunts killer. To these days they continue to be in the courtroom to see the evil man who took away the fun of childhood at their infancy.
While majority of Rwandans inside and outside Rwanda are happy that at last the justice have been served in deporting one of the genocide fugitives, many others still feel abandoned by the international community due to the fact that individuals who are accused of the same crimes of genocide are still walking free in different parts of the developed world especially the western capitals. To be sure, while the United States has deported Jean Marie Vianney Mudahinyuka and Marie Claire Mukeshimana back to Rwanda to face justice, there are still many notorious genocidaires in different part of the United States. One of them is Prof. Léopold Munyakazi who up to these days continues to collaborate with genocide ideologist all over the world, collaborates meetings to fundraise money for the FDLR, a terrorist outfit that continues to terrorize the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Like Marie Mukeshimana and Mudahinyuka, Léopold Munyakazi is a genocide convict who took part in the 1994 Genocide against Tutsis in the former Gitarama prefecture now in the Southern Province. Prof. Munyakazi whose teaching contract at Goucher College in Maryland (US) was terminated due to his role on genocide, continues to be an active member of international genocidaire criminal network.
Munyakazis crime include genocide, complicity to Genocide and conspiracy to commit genocide. He jumped bail and fled to the United States in 1999 after realizing damning evidence leveled against him. Mugeseras fate took 20 years to answer the cries of millions of Tutsi victims. Survivors and victims of Munyakazis horrendous crimes continue to be optimistic that one day they will have an opportunity to see the man who supervised the killings of their mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers at the roadblocks in Gitarama deported back to Rwanda to answer the crimes he committed.
