Malawi accused of blocking hunt for Rwanda genocide suspects
Malawi government has been accused by Rwanda for “doing nothing” to arrest genocide suspects hiding in the country.
The Prosecutor General of Rwanda, Martin Ngoga said Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia were not cooperating in hunting for genocide suspects.
“Despite reiterated requests for legal procedures to be engaged, nothing has been done”, Ngoga told Hirondelle News Agency from Kigali.
He underlined that Malawi did not react to the indictments transmitted by the Rwandan prosecution.
Ngoga regretted “such inaction from African countries at a time when Western countries seem to be finally willing to put an end to the genocidaires’ impunity”.
Bosco Mutangana, head of the unit tracking those suspected of involvement in the 1994 killings, told the BBC they all had files and arrest warrants.
Some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed in the 100-day massacre.
Mutangana said Rwanda’s chief prosecutor was still waiting for an appointment from the authorities in Malawi.
“They have the dossier of the names, where they’re living, but we notice they don’t want to do anything about it,” he told BBC.
He said in comparison to how Europe has dealt with requests from Rwandan prosecutors, Malawi and other southern African countries were dragging their feet.
Those most responsible for the genocide are being tried by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) based in Arusha, Tanzania.
Several other countries – including Canada, Finland and France – have tried genocide suspects rather than extradite them to Rwanda where they fear they may not get a fair hearing.

Malawians lets write things that will make sense. Mnwanye you think you can bit a lomwe because of Rwanda issue. Why use lomwe name on your comment? You think like a rat born before due time. Zinazi mukamalemba osadana ndi alomwe. Bwanji simunadane ndi achewa nthawi ya nkhanza za Kamuzu.Ukumuseweretsa mulomwe you think lomwes are foolish. Ask a lomwe person when a lomwe says this word”muhome” you will understand a lomwe if you do that.
Do not be tribalistic you idiot without guts.
Rwandans May you please send a delegate to malawi to the malawi on how dangerous the qouta system can be by relating to what happenedd in your beautiful country!!
You may also wish to go to Cape Town South Africa and find out how Archbishop emritus Desmond Tutu brought peace there through his Peace and Reconciliation Commision. This will put rest to your hunting of who did what.
May God grant you Rwandese a Forgiving and Reconciliatory Spirit.
I wish people here would stop giving each other stupid ideas about genocide because of the quota system. Are you people out of your damn minds? Do you really want what happened in Rwanda to occur here because of one government policy. Don’t you know somebody stupid on here can try to do this? Lomwe,Chewa,Sena…WE ARE ALL MALAWIANS. May God grant YOU mtchona a forgiving and reconciliatory Spirit and get the idea of what you are insinuating out of your mind..
What i have seen on our president is that he has a belief he is very intelligent enough to create good decissions for malawi, he feels he is hundling every charange that comes his way carefully, he believes any neggative effect caused by his negrigency today will never find him when he goes down, he does need to withdraw any decission when he finds out that it is destructive, he is always silent when he feels what malawians are sargesting is collect and against his decission. We can smell malawians becoming very unfriendly to fillow malawians due to ethnical grounds. Mtumbuka ndi Mlomwe kumamaanana madzi akumwa enieniwa, something that the causertive agent himself can agree but he is still showing out the same RED TO THE BULL. Angaluze chani kungoapeleka anthu akuphawo akalangidwe!
Mose wa kale, I think you have never travelled to a foreign country in your life, otherwise you wouldn’t be saying that Malawians should start zenephobia do really know what it means, I think you have seen South African’s what they did to our fellow foreigners last year if you have a TV in such case, I feel pity for you to say those words but I cant blame you mwina ulibenso passport thats why you are talking nonsence chifukwa mwina ukati wayenda ndiye kuti mwina pakati pa Brantyre & Lilongwe if you have got that oppotunity, what I know is that each and every country in the world has got foreigners so Rwandanese are also looking for green pasture in Malawi, Iwe ngati ulibe mwayi oyenda ndi zako.
Very Worried about you
