Rwanda’s quest for justice for survivors of the Genocide Against the Tutsi is gaining momentum as Western countries are beginning to facilitate deportation of genocide fugitives to Rwanda.

On Thursday, the United States deported Oswald Rurangwa, a genocide fugitive who was sentenced to 30 years in jail by the local Gacaca court in 2007 for his role in the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi.
