“They should be found guilty for being part of this terror group, MRCD-FLN,” judge Beatrice Mukamurenzi said of 20 defendants including Rusesabagina. “They attacked people in their homes, or even in their cars on the road travelling.” Prosecutors had sought a life sentence on nine charges, including terrorism, arson, taking hostages and forming an armed rebel group, which he directed from abroad. After the announcement of the initial verdict, one of the defendants became ill, causing a short recess, which delayed verdicts on other charges and sentencing.

Cheadle was nominated for an Oscar for the role. Rusesabagina used his fame to highlight what he described as rights violations by the government of Kagame, a Tutsi rebel commander who took power after his forces captured Kigali and halted the genocide.

Kagame is another Mugabe and Idi Amin,if not Hitler, in the making..AU has to stop this tyrant in his tracks.

My first experience happens to be a failure but i never gave up cause i knew it was going to work out for me trying continuously, fortunately i'm smiling today by getting involved with peterniecy
