On Monday, November 9, the United States deported Jean Léonard Teganya, a Rwandan man accused of participating in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
Teganya was handed over to Rwandan authorities following his removal from American soil. His deportation marks a significant moment in Rwanda's long-running efforts to bring to justice those accused of involvement in the genocide, which claimed an estimated 800,000 lives in just 100 days.
The case is a reminder that for Rwanda, the work of accountability is far from finished, and the international community continues to play a role in that process.
