Return fugitives in exchange for 'most wanted' man, DRC tells Rwanda

Rwanda has been warned to "respond very clearly" to arrest warrants from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) if it is to secure the extradition of one of the most wanted suspects in the 1994 genocide. Ladislas Ntaganzwa stands accused of organising mass rapes and "substantially participated in the planning, preparation and execution of the massacre of over 20,000 Tutsis" over a four-day period, according to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). Ntaganzwa's capture by Congolese authorities in Rushihe during a raid on the local headquarters of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (known by its French acronym FDLR) appears to have become a source of leverage for the DRC in order to have fugitives repatriated.
