Founder of Rwandan 'Radio of a Thousand Hills' Dies in The Hague

Félicien Kabuga, accused of crimes against humanity for his involvement in the 1994 Rwandan genocide, has died, having lived for over 90 years.

Félicien Kabuga

Félicien Kabuga was a businessman who owned tea plantations. He co-founded 'Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines' (Free Radio and Television of a Thousand Hills), which became a mouthpiece for propaganda during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. During the genocide, according to various estimates, between 500,000 and 1.1 million people died.

Only representatives of the Hutu people worked at 'Radio of a Thousand Hills', founded by Kabuga. Broadcasts explained how to kill, divide, and rape the Tutsi people. In addition, named lists of those who needed to be killed, and the locations where Tutsis were hiding, were announced. Kabuga is also accused of arming the Hutu militia, which tracked down and killed Tutsis.

Kabuga fled Rwanda in 1994 and lived under false documents, first in Africa and later in France. In 1997, the International Tribunal issued charges against him for incitement to genocide and crimes against humanity, but Kabuga could not be found for 26 years. He was arrested in 2020 in a suburb of Paris.

Kabuga's case was heard by the International Tribunal in The Hague. However, in 2023, the court ruled that he could not be held criminally responsible due to his poor health and senile dementia, and thus the proceedings were effectively halted.

It is reported that at the time of his death, Félicien Kabuga was 93 or 95 years old, depending on various sources.

    вось так... пачвара хавалася, пазбегла адказнасці і памерла ад старасці
    а нехта ўсё - гаага-гаага...

    ..., Справа Кабугі разглядалася Міжнародным трыбуналам у Гаазе. Аднак суд у 2023 годзе прызнаў, што ён не можа несці крымінальную адказнасць з-за цяжкага стану здароўя і старэчай дэменцыі, таму працэс быў фактычна спынены. Так што Гаага і суд былі.

    Пока читал, чуть не заплакал. Состарился бедняга, забывчивым стал, дряхленьким. Только примерно миллион человек не доживут до старости, не умрут в покое и мире. Потому что их прорубали мачете и постреляли из калашей. Ибо такие поганые мрази как эта дряхлая сволота знают, что деньги и связи гарантируют им сладкую жизнь. И ни за что отвечать не придётся. А зря. Такие звёзды достойны смерти поинтересней.
