According to reporting by BBC Africa, a court in the United States has convicted a Rwandan national, Eric Nshimiye, after he concealed his role in the 1994 genocide for decades.

US authorities accused Nshimiye of lying to a jury in order to protect himself as well as a fellow perpetrator of the genocide from legal consequences.

The conviction reflects continued efforts by international legal authorities to address allegations surrounding individuals accused of hiding their involvement in the 1994 atrocities while living overseas.
