Malawi’s Concerned Citizen Group
which calls the extradite of Murekezi
One of the Malawian passports Murekezi holds
Barely 22
years since the world saw one of the shock ethnic persecution and cleansing;
many of Rwandan Genocide suspects are still at run as they have find themselves
some refuge in different countries across the globe.
All started
when a Tutsi president got assassinated by ethnic Hutu army group which was
followed by mass killings. Some of the perpetrators are seeking a refuge in
France, Belgium, Italy, United States, Britain and other Africa neighboring
countries.
But,
following revelations about Vincent Murekezi who is one of the Rwandan genocide
convict by Malawi’s media that he is seeking a refuge in the country; many of
civil society groups have called upon the government of Malawi to extradite Mr.
Vincent Murekezi back to Rwanda to face the book.
Concerned
Citizen which is a Civil Society grouping has said their findings does not
indicate any facts that Mr. Murekezi is running any business in Malawi. But he possess
a licensed gun which brings many questions on how he managed to obtain it.
In 2011,
there is indication that Mr. Murekezi acquired a Malawian Passport with its
number being MA 078171, then earlier this year in March he also got the second
passport with number MA 606888 which still puts questions that he might be
connected to some elites in the government of Malawi. In Both Passports
Murekezi appears to be using a Malawian common surnames of Banda and as Vincent
Banda in full.
Besides, he
holds a Rwandan Passport and its number is PC 939663.
Philip
Kamangira is one of the people facilitating the Concerned Citizen group and he
says the government of Malawi should probe on how the Rwandan Genocide Convict
obtained Malawian passports, suspend, investigate and prosecute all involved in
the saga.
“The convict
should be arrested and extradited immediately for not compromising the
country’s security. Malawi government should adhere to international protocols
and treaties that it signed on regulating extradition-AU Charter on Human and
People’s rights,” Kamangira said.
And Malawi’s
Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Security Grace Obama Chiumia dismissed
the reports and the by civil society groups saying she does not know someone
with a name Vincent Murekezi but Vincent Banda who is a successful business
man.
