RWANDA In pursuit of the genocidaires

Thomas Zribi   (journalist) and Damien Roudeau (report drawing)

Alain and Dafroza Gauthier have been fighting for over 20 years to have those responsible for the genocide against the Tutsis in Rwanda in 1994 brought to justice. Dafroza's mother was murdered, along with 80 members of her family. "The genocide is an oil spill, those who didn't drown are oiled for life." Gaël Faye's words apply to the Gauthier couple. In 2001, they created the Collectif des Parties Civiles pour le Rwanda (CPCR). Powerless in 1994, they decided to devote their time and resources to the fight for justice. The comic strip written by Thomas Zribi and drawn by Damien Roudeau is intended to be a sounding board for this fight. There are hidden killers in France. Many killers. This one became a priest, this other professor. He is a doctor, he changed his name and lives a peaceful retirement in the South... A hundred genocidaires are in fact still hidden in France, which helped the Habyarimana regime, trained soldiers and supplied weapons to the assassins during the genocide... elements recently highlighted by the Duclert report following the opening of the archives. In 22 years, only 5 trials have reached their conclusion.
