rwanda: Former minister tried for inciting genocide

Two French Lawyers on Tuesday began presenting evidence in defence of a former Rwandan finance minister accused of genocide for allegedly encouraging, planning and instigating mass rapes and murders. Emmanuel Ndindabahizi, a greying 53-year-old, denies all charges of involvement in the 1994 massacres when extremist Hutus slaughtered around 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus in 100 days.
