After a four-year legal battle at the African Court on Human and People’s Rights in Arusha, Tanzania, a case filed by a disgruntled worker against his former employer, the Rwandan government, has been dismissed.

Mr Chrysanthe Rutabingwa had sued the government for unlawful dismissal and was seeking to get his job back and $1 million in damages.
