Twenty-year search for Rwanda genocide suspect ends in Zimbabwe grave

Though it's been almost 30 years since the genocide was committed, Kayishema's arrest shows that the world has not forgotten about the victims of those horrific crimes. International investigators worked tirelessly for more than two decades to bring Kayishema to justice, and it won't stop until every perpetrator is found, arrested, and prosecuted for their crimes against humanity.
The world should know that non-African actors also contributed to the genocide. The CIA was well aware of — and ignored — the growing anti-Tutsi rhetoric spreading throughout Rwanda at the time. Moreover, the US agency supplied Uganda, which aided the genocide, with military and development aid. To make things worse, America lauded Uganda's Museveni as a peacemaker during the massacre. There is no reason those in power should not be held accountable for their failure to stop the genocide.
