Rwanda said it had arrested Paul Rusesabagina - the man who was hailed a hero in a Hollywood movie about the country's 1994 genocide - on terrorism charges, and paraded him in front of the media in handcuffs.

KIGALI - Rwanda said it had arrested Paul Rusesabagina - the man who was hailed a hero in a Hollywood movie about the country’s 1994 genocide - on terrorism charges, and paraded him in front of the media in handcuffs.

On Monday, two police officers brought the 66-year-old to a press conference at the headquarters of the Rwanda Investigations Bureau and let media film him and take photographs. He said Rusesabagina would face several charges including “terrorism, financing terrorism ... arson, kidnap and murder.” But back home he has sparked outrage with warnings of another genocide, this time by Tutsis against Hutus. He has drawn criticism from some genocide survivors and Kagame who accused him of exploiting the genocide for commercial gain.

Rusesabagina, whose father was Hutu but mother and wife were Tutsi, has denied exaggerating his role in rescuing Tutsis. He has not publicly responded to the charges of supporting armed groups.

I think it is time to make sure Rwanda is safe from those who wish the bad luck of their mother land. They was so calling themselves liberators but killing innocent Rwandan in their non purposeful wars , just to destabilize Rwanda. Time to pay out. YolandeMakolo

Sad

How but

We shouldn't trust terrorism charges from dictator Paul Kagame's regime. He may have been the 'opposition' force in 1994, but he has gone full retribution in retaliation of the genocide and has a death grip on Rwanda.

Which type of terrorism?
