The events that unfolded and the lives lost in Rwanda, May 7th, 1994 are being laid in the hands of one man: Emmanuel Uwayezu. He was an educator and a priest, making this even more inhuman. In October Italian authorities arrested Uwayezu on charges for the deaths of eighty Tutsi students. On this day at the Kibeho College of Arts he ordered security and teachers to lock down the students and arrange their killings. It is unclear what lies in his fate or whether the Rwandan government will successfully extradite him for a trial. Uwayezu maintains his innocence claiming he took no part on genocide, in fact he says he tried saving the young lives that were massacred. However, it is said that he spread ethnic hatred throughout the school by blaming the nation’s troubles on the Tutsi’s.
