接下來是一篇反映美國政府觀點的社論。
After more than four decades on the run, one of the world’s most wanted men, 84-year-old Felicien Kabuga, was arrested on May 16 by the French Police near Paris.
在逃亡四十多年之後,世界頭號通緝犯之一的84歲的菲利希安·卡布賈於5月16日在巴黎附近被法國警方逮捕。
Kabuga was a key figure in the Rwandan genocide, which began on April 7, 1994, one day after a plane carrying Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana and Burundian President Cyprien Ntaryamira, both Hutus, was shot down, with all on board killed.
卡布賈是盧安達大屠殺的關鍵人物,該事件開始於1994年4月7日,一天之前,一架載有盧安達總統朱韋納爾·哈比亞利馬納以及蒲隆地總統西普裡安·恩塔裡亞米拉的飛機被擊落,兩人都是胡圖族,機上人員全部遇難。
Hutu extremists accused a Tutsi rebel group, the Rwandan Patriotic Front, of being behind the attack and immediately began a campaign of mass killings of members of the Tutsi and Twa ethnic groups, as well as moderate Hutus.
胡圖族極端分子指控圖西族反叛組織盧安達愛國陣線是襲擊的幕後黑手,並立即開始大規模屠殺圖西族和吐瓦族成員,以及溫和派的胡圖人。
The slaughter was thoroughly planned and well-organized.
這場屠殺計劃周密,組織嚴密。
Militias were given hit lists of Tutsi and murdered many of their victims with machetes in acts of appalling brutality.
民兵們收到了對圖西人的襲擊名單,並用砍刀殺害了許多受害者,堪稱駭人聽聞的暴行。
By the time the genocide ended on July 15, 1994, some 800,000 Rwandans had been murdered, including about 70 percent of the country's Tutsi population.
到1994年7月15日大屠殺結束時,大約80萬盧安達人被謀殺,其中包括該國圖西族人口的70%。
Felicien Kabuga, one of the country’s wealthiest men and founder of Radio Télévision Libre des Milles Collines, had been a member of President Habyarimana’s inner circle.
菲利希安·卡布賈是該國最富有的人之一,也是Tévision Libre des Milles Collines電臺的創辦人,他曾是哈比亞利馬納總統核心圈子的成員。
He is accused of financing and helping to plan the genocidal killings, importing large quantities of weapons, and directing the Radio Télévision Libre des Milles Collines, which helped incite the genocide.
他被控資助和幫助策劃大屠殺,進口大量武器,並指揮幫助煽動大屠殺的Libre des Milles Collines電臺。
For these and other crimes, Kabuga was indicted in 1997 by the UN International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda on seven counts of
1997年,聯合國盧安達問題國際刑事法庭就七項罪名對卡布賈提起公訴,
genocide, complicity in genocide, direct and public incitement to commit genocide, attempt to commit genocide, and conspiracy to commit genocide, persecution and extermination.
包括滅絕種族罪、共謀滅絕種族罪、直接公然煽動滅絕種族罪、意圖滅絕種族罪、預謀滅絕種族罪、迫害罪和滅絕罪等。
The United States offered a $5 million bounty for information leading to Kabuga’s arrest.
美國懸賞500萬美元獲取導致卡布賈被捕的情報。
「We applaud the Government of France and the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals for the arrest of Félicien Kabuga,」 said U.S. State Department Spokesperson Morgan Ortagus in a written statement.
美國國務院發言人Morgan Ortagus在一份書面聲明中說:「我們讚揚法國政府和國際刑事法庭餘留機制逮捕菲利希安·卡布賈。」。
「We commend law enforcement officials worldwide who contributed to the arrest.
「我們讚揚全世界參與逮捕的執法官員。
This is a milestone for international justice, and a message to all fugitives indicted for genocide that they will be brought to justice.
這是國際司法的一個裡程碑,也是向所有被控犯有種族滅絕罪的逃犯發出的一個信息,即他們將被繩之以法。
We hope this arrest brings the victims and their families some peace.」
我們希望這次逮捕能給受害者及其家人帶來一些安寧。」
The United States continues to offer rewards of up to $5 million for information leading to the arrest of the remaining seven Rwandans wanted by the International Tribunal for their roles in the genocide: Augustin Bizimana, Protais Mpiranya, Fulgence Kayishema, Aloys Ndimbati, Pheneas Munyarugarama, Charles Sikubwabo, and Charles Ryandikayo.
美國繼續提供高達500萬美元的獎勵,以獲取國際法庭通緝的在種族滅絕中起作用的其餘7名盧安達人的情報:奧古斯丁·比齊馬納、普羅泰斯·姆皮拉尼亞、富爾根塞·卡伊什馬、阿洛伊斯·恩迪姆巴蒂、菲涅斯·穆尼亞拉馬、查爾斯·西庫布瓦博和查爾斯·蘭迪卡約。
