South African Authorities Arrest Rwandan Genocide Suspect to Stand Trial in Rwanda

On May 24, fugitive Fulgence Kayishema was arrested on a grape farm in Paarl, a town outside of Cape Town.  He was caught operating under the alias Donatien Nibashumba, a Burundian national, one of many false identities that he used while on the run.  The arrest was the result of joint efforts by a multinational team, made possible by the collaboration between the South African police force and the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (UNICTR), and later with the Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunal (RMCT).
