The Catholic Church in Rwanda has declined to strip some of its clergy suspected of taking part in the 1994 genocide of their titles as demanded by the government.
Last week, the head of the National Unity and Reconciliation Commission (NURC), Fidele Ndayisaba challenged faith-based groups to strip members suspected or found guilty of taking part in the genocide, of titles such as “Father, Pastor or Sheikh.”
