With the year 2014 marking 20 years since the climax of the Rwandan genocide, the search for suspects accused of participating in the crimes of 1994, continues to this day.
The New York Times, in a piece for “The Saturday Profile” segment, met with Alain Gauthier and his wife Dafroza Gauthier, who for 13 years have been tracking down fugitives from the country’s genocide.
Speaking on their hunt for suspects, Mrs Gauthier said,
“What drives us is that the killers be judged, for history, for the victims”.
“It is our turn, us as alive people, as survivors to claim for justice because if we don’t do it, nobody will, and nobody will make amends for what happened.”
