Ouattara sent a letter, dated 3 May, to ICC President Luis Moreno-Ocampo asking the court to investigate "the most serious crimes committed since 28 November 2010 throughout the Ivorian territory". ICC Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo has said his office is preparing to launch a formal investigation into mass killings which allegedly took place in the west African country. There were reports of a massacre of several hundred people in Duékoué, in the west of the country, in the fighting that followed November's presidential election. The UN, the African Union and the European Union all recognised Ouattara as the rightful winner.

I gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Jessica Braccio for helping organize the data and Robin M. Cardwell-Mullins for helpful comments on an earlier draft.

One area which has been largely ignored, however, is the sexual violence during times of armed conflict. This paper examines the nature and dynamics of sexual violence as it occurred during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Drawing upon testimonies given to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), descriptions of rapes--both singular and mass—were qualitatively analyzed. In general, three broad types of assaults were identified: opportunistic, assaults which seemed to be a product of the disorder inherent within the conflict; episodes of sexual enslavement; and genocidal rapes, which were framed by the broader genocidal endeavors occurring at the time.

The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Professor R. Scott Appleby. Abstract Simonsson, O. 2019. God Rests in Rwanda. The Role of Religion in the 1994 Genocide in Rwanda. Studia Historica Upsaliensia 264. 312 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0655-1. This study analyses the role of religion in the Rwandan genocide, providing new explanations to the complex dynamics of devaluation and victimisation processes in genocidal violence. The thesis explains how religion was used in different contexts prior to, during, and after the 1994 genocide. The following questions guide this study: What kinds of religious concepts and arguments were used in the context of the Rwandan genocide, and how? Why were they used and what did these concepts and arguments mean? Finally, did the meanings of the religious arguments change over time and between different contexts, and if so why? Texts from three sources were analysed: the Hutu extremist propaganda in Kangura magazine and in RTLM broadcasts, and testimonies from the ICTR trials. The analysis was guided by Roger Dale Petersen’s theory on Fear, Hatred, and Resentment, as well as theories on devaluation, social identity, self-victimisation, and competitive victimhood.

  • At the Heart of Rwanda's Horror General's History Offers Clues to the Roots of Genocide
    At the Heart of Rwanda's Horror General's History Offers Clues to the Roots of Genocide By Emily Wax Washington Post Foreign Service Saturday, September 21, 2002; Page A01 NYANGE, Rwanda -- She remembers the days when her brother, the army general, landed his "bird machine" in this hilltop village. In his dashing uniform and beret, he ordered up a new house for her, a new house for their mother and rounds of Rwanda's golden beer, Primus, for their childhood friends. "It was like my brother was king," said Maria Mukako, her three children clinging to her as flies buzzed around their bare feet. "Now I hear on the radio that people are saying my brother is more like the devil." Her brother, Augustin Bizimungu, former chief of staff of the Rwandan army, sits with 53 others in a detention center in Arusha, Tanzania, awaiting trial by the U.N.-mandated International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. He is accused of being an architect of the state-sponsored genocide that killed more than 800,000 people. Over 100 days in 1994, after the assassination of President Juvenal Habyarimana, Rwanda's Hutu majority carried out the organized slaughter of the country's Tutsi minority and Hutus who sympathized with them. Under Bizimungu's command, soldiers exterminated the "cockroach Tutsis" on a scale so massive that eight years later, just about every Rwandan has a parent or sibling -- or both -- who was raped, buried alive or hacked apart with a machete. "He's one of our most important arrests," said Kingsley Chiedu Moghalu, legal adviser to the tribunal.

  • Former Rwandan Genocide Fugitive Arrested in the DRC
    Former Rwandan Genocide Fugitive Arrested in the DRC Today 9 December 2015 mark another turning point for victims of the Rwandan tragedy as the DRC authorities have arrested Mr. Ntaganzwa who was ʺindicted by the ICTR for genocide and crimes against humanity for the alleged massacre of thousands of Tutsis at various locations in his locality including at Cyahinda Parish and at Gasasa Hill during the 1994 Rwandan genocide against Tutsis during which moderate Hutus and others who opposed the genocide were killed.1 He was also alleged to have orchestrated the rape and sexual violence committed against many women, and was one of the six fugitives whose cases were referred to Rwanda by the Prosecutor of the ICTR under Rule 11bis for trialʺ2 Following his arrest in Kachanga, North Kivu, the Prosecutor of the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunal Mr. Jallow Hassan has informed the Security Council about the arrest of Mr. Ntaganzwa, he has equally thanked the DRC authorities and urges them to immediately transfer him from Goma where he is being held to Arusha to face trials.3 His arrest was precipitated as a result of a ransom of five million US Dollars bounty, however, eight other fugitives (Felicien Kabuga, Augustin Bizimana, Protais Mpiranya, Fulgence Kayishema, Pheneas Munyarugarama, Aloys Ndimbati, Ryandikayo, and Charles Sikubwabo) are yet to be apprehended to face trials, there is equally a ransom of five million US dollars for any information leading to their capture.4 The accused ethnic origin is Hutu.

The figure of President Juvenal Habyarimana, whose 21-year rule, along with the unofficial network based around his wife and family, the Akazu, has been largely marginalised. Yet to understand April 1994 requires a far longer-term understanding. Those responsible had grown their power, influence and ambition for decades inside every part of Rwandan society after seizing power in their coup of 1973; they had estab- lished personal and highly lucrative bonds with European and North American coun- tries, financial institutions and the Vatican, all of whom variously assisted with finan- cial, political, diplomatic and military support from 1973 into 1994. This chapter seeks to outline how Akazu built its powerbase, influence and ambition in the two decades before 1994 and the failure of its international backers to respond to repeated warning signs of a tragedy foretold. Keywords genocide – Akazu – Habyarimana – Parmehutu – Network Zero The official Independence Day celebrations that got underway on Sunday 1 July 1973 came as Rwanda teetered on the edge of an expected coup.
