Dayton Man Was Involved In The Rwandan Genocide!

If he was a Zionist, he would be allowed to live in the United States.

I wish the United States would arrest any Israeli who is responsible for crimes against humanity. The reasons why the people are not arrested is because they are white, Jewish and privileged.

But when it comes to Rwanda, the International Criminal Court and Interpol are still looking for actors who engaged in one of the African nation's worst incidents in modern history.

Other genocides are happening in Brunei, the Democratic People's Republic of the Congo and Palestine.

Vincent Nzigiymfura, who also goes by Vincent Mfura, was charged with visa fraud and two counts of attempted naturalization fraud, the DOJ says.

Nzigiyimfura, 65, was a prominent businessman and shop owner in Rwanda in 1994 when the genocide began. He allegedly used his wealth and leadership position in Rwandan society to organize violence against and killings of Tutsis, the minority population persecuted in the genocide.

“The 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,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Kelly A. Norris for the Southern District of Ohio. “This egregious conduct will not be tolerated.”

“As alleged, Vincent Nzigiyimfura directed and encouraged murders during the genocide in Rwanda and then lied to U.S. authorities to start a new life in this country,” said Matthew R. Galeotti, Head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “The United States is not 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.” 

“ICE HSI is committed to pursuing justice for victims of genocide by ensuring that those who committed atrocities in foreign lands cannot hide in Ohio or any other community in the United States,” said ICE HSI Detroit acting Special Agent in Charge Jared Murphey. “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. His indictment and arrest is a step toward justice for those victims.”

The skull factory. An infamous image of the Rwanda genocide.

Court documents detail that Nzigiyimfura applied for a visa to enter the United States and was granted lawful permanent resident status in 2008. In 2014, he submitted an application for naturalization. Nzigiyimfura allegedly lied to U.S. immigration officials in his immigration applications, including by falsely denying any involvement as a perpetrator of the Rwandan genocide.

Nzigiyimfura was arrested yesterday and is charged with one count of visa fraud and two counts of attempted naturalization fraud. If convicted as charged, he could face up to 30 years in prison.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Detroit is investigating this case, with assistance from the interagency Human Rights Violators and War Crimes Center and the Justice Department’s Office of International Affairs.

Assistant U.S. Attorney George Painter of the Southern District of Ohio and Trial Attorney Brian Morgan of the Justice Department’s Human Rights and Special Prosecutions Section (HRSP) are representing the United States in this case. 

“As alleged, Vincent Nzigiyimfura directed and encouraged murders during the genocide in Rwanda and then lied to U.S. authorities to start a new life in this country,” Head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division Matthew Galeotti said. “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.”

The indictment says Nzigiymfura was a businessman and butcher in Rwanda, and helped lead the genocide against the Tutsis. Court documents claim Nzigiymfura provided weapons, transportation to other Hutus and planned the killings of Tutsis.

Nzigiymfura fled to Malawi after the genocide ended in 1994, according to the DOJ. Nzigiymfura allegedly submitted falsified documents saying he “left Rwanda in 1994 due to the Genocide.” Since then, Nzigiymfura reaffirmed his false statements to live in the United States.

If convicted, Nzigiymfura could spend 30 years in prison.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
