Their anonymity did not last. On 25 July 1995, a Yaoundé biweekly newspaper, La Nouvelle Expression, named forty-four Rwandan ‘genocide suspects’ hiding out in Cameroon. The list served as a who’s who of the most powerful figures of the Hutu Power movement, with a catalogue of criminal charges including genocide and crimes against humanity, murder, extermination, rape, persecution and other inhumane acts.5 The newspaper then accused Paul Biya, president of Cameroon, of harbouring international criminals.
