Rwanda Genocide and Montreals Sauve

Montreals Sauve: Through the window of the train, out to the subway platform where Nyilinkwaya stood, came a familiar gaze he had not met for more than a decade, since the men were high school classmates in Butare, Rwanda, according to The Star. The mark spanning the side of his face, left from a childhood accident, had earned him the title amongst the Tutsi women he had brutally raped during the Rwanda genocide. Everyone feared the one with the scar and The train was pulling into Montreals Sauve station, the faces of passengers slowly coming into focus, when Jean-Paul Nyilinkwaya locked eyes with a killer. The man had aged, but there was no mistaking him. It was Desire Munyaneza, or Gikovu, Kinyarwanda for Scar Face. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
