The current legal-diplomatic crisis between Rwanda and France comes at a time when Kigali has achieved several successes in prosecuting genocide suspects harbored outside Rwanda. On the twelfth anniversary of the April 1994 genocide, the Rwandan government urged European countries to arrest and try the nearly 200 genocide suspects it had counted in the European Union. The Netherlands subsequently arrested Joseph Mpambara on August 7 and one month later, Denmark arrested Sylvaire Ahorugeze. "We found the case by going through the Category 1 suspect list [drawn up by the Rwandan authorities] to see if any of them could be living in Denmark, and one was," a Danish prosecutor told Reuters. In September, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda announced that France had agreed to investigate three cases, including the case of Father Wenceslas Munyeshaka, who was sentenced to life in prison in abstentia on November 16 by a Rwandan military tribunal. On November 13, the Rwandan press reported that at least four suspects - Vincent Bajinya, Emmanuel Nteziryayo, Charles Munyaneza and Célestin Ugurashebuja - were arrested in Great Britain based on a Rwandan extradition request. Also in November, Kigali announced that it wanted to ask the United States to arrest a Rwandan professor who had fled the country in 2004 and who has since been added to the list of genocide suspects. Finally, Canada is scheduled to open a genocide trial against Désiré Munyaneza in March 2007, and Belgium plans to try Bernard Ntuyahaga on April 19 and Ephrem Nkezabera in 2008. There has been only one failure: the charges against 69 high-ranking officers in Rwanda's current army, including its chief of staff, for the murder of Spanish citizens and for "crimes against humanity, genocide, war crimes and terrorism" committed in both Rwanda and the Congo between 1990 and 2002, which were filed in Spain on February 22.
