DAYTON, Ohio (TNND) � An Ohio federal grand jury on Friday indicted a
Rwandan man who allegedly concealed his role as a perpetrator of the 1994 genocide in the country.

The jury concluded that Vincent Nzigiyimfura, a 65-year-old man living in Dayton, Ohio, misrepresented his role in the genocide, in which hundreds
of thousands of people died, before obtaining an immigrant visa to enter
the U.S.

In 2014, Nzigiyimfura applied to become a U.S. citizen by making false statements and omitting material facts, according to the jury. He
allegedly claimed he never persecuted anybody or committed any crimes, statements that contradicted his past as a leader of the genocide in some
areas of Rwanda. The jury added that Nzigiyimfura reaffirmed those claims
in an interview with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

�As alleged, Vincent Nzigiumfura directed and encouraged murders during
the genocide in Rwanda and then lied to U.S. authorities to start a new
life in this country,� Matthew Galeotti, head of the Department of
Justice�s Criminal Division, said in a press release. �The United States
is not a safe haven for human rights violators. Those, like the defendant,
who commit immigration fraud to hide their violent pasts will be charged
and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.�

Nzigiyimfura led the genocide, in the southern Rwandan area of Gihisi and southern-central town of Nyanza, of ethnic Tutsis, the jury found. He
allegedly provided weapons, transportation and incentives to members of
the Hutu majority population, directing them to search for and apprehend
Tutsis to be killed. The jury noted that Nzigiyimfura also set up
roadblocks to detain and kill Tutsis and tricked those in hiding to
believe the killings had stopped. The murders hadn�t, though, and the
Tutsis were rounded up and executed, according to the jury.

�This indictment alleges this defendant facilitated the killings of Tutsis during the Rwandan genocide and then lied about it on immigration
applications in the United States,� Acting U.S. Attorney Kelly Norris for
the Southern District of Ohio said. �This egregious conduct will not be tolerated.�

Following the end of the genocide, Nzigiyimfura allegedly fled to Mali,
where he submitted misleading applications for an immigrant visa to the
U.S. He claimed he left Rwanda �due to the Genocide,� when, in reality, he
fled because of his participation in the persecution and massacre of
Tutsis.

�No one wants a war criminal as their neighbor and these allegations paint
a grim picture of the horror Nzigiyimfura inflicted on the Tutsi people,� Acting Special Agent in Charge Jared Murphey of a Department of Homeland Security investigations team said. �His indictment and arrest is a step
toward justice for those victims.�

The National News Desk requested comment from Nzigiyimfura�s legal representation Tuesday around 11 a.m. but did not receive a response by
the time the outlet published this article.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
