Most wanted Rwandan genocide suspect arrested in South Africa after decades on the run

Fulgence Kayishema, accused of orchestrating the killing of over 2,000 Tutsi refugees during the 1994 Rwandan genocide, has been arrested in South Africa after being a fugitive for over 20 years.
Kayishema was captured in a joint operation between South African authorities and a UN team charged with finding remaining fugitives. He used multiple identities and forged documents to evade detection.
The IRMCT prosecutor said that Kayishema's arrest demonstrates the international community's commitment to prosecute and punish perpetrators of genocide.
