Robert Kajuga
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jerry Robert Kajuga, a Tutsi whose family disguised its official identity as Hutu, was the President of the Interahamwe militia which was largely responsible for perpetrating the Rwandan Genocide of 1994. Although many other high-ranking Interahamwe officials were implicated by Georges Rutaganda in a statement that Hutu hardliners assasinated Juvénal Habyarimana with French backing, Kajuga has pronounced fierce loyalty to Habyarimana and is not believed to have played a role in his death.
Kajuga kept his brother Wyclif at the Hôtel des Mille Collines in Kigali, as a precaution due to their true Tutsi identity. This may have contributed to the success of the Mille Collines in remaining safe from the genocide.
