Rwanda to host trial of former Chadian leader

Contrary to media reports that Rwanda proposed the prosecution of embattled former Chad president, Hissène Habré, it is the African Union (AU), which instead requested the former to come in after Senegal declined, the Minister of Justice, Tharcisse Karugarama, told The New Times on Sunday “The fact is that Rwanda has never requested to try the former president of Chad, Hissène Habré, who has been detained, waiting for trial, in Senegal,” Karugarama said.
