Historic Rwandan genoicide trial starts Monday in Ottawa

[guest]

Jacques Mungwarere was a 22-year-old school teacher living in the rolling, green hills of Kibuye, Rwanda when the systematic murder of the country’s Tutsi minority began in the spring of 1994. Now, 18 years later and half a world away, the man who fled his native country and settled in Windsor, Ont. as a refugee after the brutal 100-day Rwandan genocide will face trial in Ottawa for war crimes. Jury selection for the bilingual trial begins Monday from a pool of about 1,000 potential jurors.
