Kigali International Airport: Mugesera

Rwanda Dept: Mugesera was flown out of Montreal on Monday and landed in Rwanda's capital in a private jet, white with a Canadian flag painted on the side, at the Kigali International Airport about midnight local time. Dressed in a long khaki coat, Mugesera appeared calm and in good physical condition. He disembarked the aircraft, flanked by Canadian officials who handed him over to Rwandan police before he was handcuffed and driven away in a black Jeep bearing a police registration number, according to Montreal Gazette. Mugesera, 59, is notorious in Rwanda as a political figure who is accused of inciting Hutus to exterminate Tutsis through an inflammatory speech he delivered at a political rally two years prior to the 1994 genocide. He is alleged to have degraded Tutsis as "cockroaches" and said they had to be killed and thrown into the Nyabarongo River and after his high-profile exit from Canada following a 15-year legal battle, genocide suspect L on Mugesera was greeted by crowds of curious onlookers, police and a throng of reporters when he touched down in Rwanda late Tuesday after more than two decades abroad. A throng of reporters, both local and international, had been on the tarmac for hours, awaiting Mugesera's appearance. A second crowd of curious civilians also gathered on the other side of the airport, impatient to see the war crimes suspect arrive on Rwandan soil. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
