Rwanda urges speedy trial for president's aide
Rwanda has called for the speedy trial of President Paul Kagame's aide charged with complicity in the murder of the country's former president, an act believed to have sparked the 1994 genocide. On Wednesday, a French court charged Kagame's chief of protocol, Rose Kabuye, with "complicity in murder in relation to terrorism." Kabuye was arrested by German police on 9 November as she arrived at Frankfurt airport. Kabuye is the first Rwandan to be arrested out of nine warrants issued against close Kagame aides who are suspected of being behind the death of former Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana.
