Felicien Kabuga, the main suspect in Rwanda's 1994 genocide, has been arrested in Paris, France, after 26 years on the run.
According to reports, Kabuga was apprehended on May 16, 2020, in a significant breakthrough in the long-standing case.
The Rwandan government had been seeking Kabuga's extradition for his alleged role in the genocide, which resulted in the deaths of over 800,000 people.
The 1994 genocide was a devastating event in Rwanda's history, and Kabuga's arrest is seen as a major step towards justice for the victims and their families.
