KIGALI, April 7 (Xinhua) After 27 years, Jean Damascene Renzaho, a 45-year-old Rwandan genocide perpetrator, is moving freely around Kigali s Ntunga village where he committed the crime.
One could hear him cracking stories while sitting peacefully chatting with relatives of his victims. But when the topic went to the 1994 Rwandan genocide against Tutsi, he became remorseful.
On April 7, 1994, the first day of the three-month-long genocide that killed over 1 million people, a brigade commander, police officers and local leaders arrived in Ntunga, and ordered all able-bodied youths to follow them to hunt for soldiers of Rwanda Patriotic Army (RPA), the armed wing of the current ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF).
