Mathieu Ngirumpatse (born 1939) is a Rwandan politician, who was president of the MRND. [2]
During a span of three months in 1994 approximately 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed in what the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) ruled was a "joint criminal enterprise" to exterminate Tutsis. Ngirumpatse was sentenced to life imprisonment on 21 December 2011 for his role in the genocide. [2] [3]
