Kayonga-Nziza lawsuit in Belgian court today

The long awaited case filed by Lt Gen. Charles Kayonga and Brig. Gen Jack Nziza in the Belgian Grand Instance Court is slated to be heard today, in Belgium. The two Generals filed a case in 2007 contesting indictments issued against them by French judge Jean Louis Bruguière who alleges that the Generals, who were part of the Rwandese Patriotic Army (RPA), had a role in downing the plane carrying former Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana. Kayonga is the army chief of staff, while Nziza heads J5 in the Rwanda Defence Forces (RDF).
