None
A former Rwandan mayor living in Germany has been charged for allegedly organizing massacres and inciting killings during the African country's 1994 genocide, prosecutors said Wednesday. The 53-year-old, identified only as Onesphore R., was charged with genocide and murder as well as inciting those crimes, federal prosecutors said in a statement.
The man was the mayor of a district in northern Rwanda at the time of the killings, the prosecutors said, without identifying the district. At least 500,000 members of the Tutsi ethnic minority and moderates from the Hutu majority were slaughtered during the Rwandan genocide. (AP)
