Arrest of Paul Rusesabagina

Paul Rusesabagina is famous for saving more than 1,200 Rwandans during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. The genocide was a mass slaughter of Tutsi, Twa, and moderate Hutus in which between 500 thousand and 1 million people were killed. 

In the past few years, Paul Rusesabagina has become a political enemy of Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame. These tensions now resulted in the arrest of Mr. Rusesabagina through international cooperation on charges that include terrorism, murder, and arson.

Hi everyone! My name is Lilly and I am a high school student based in Germany, where I am currently enrolled in the IB diploma programme. Aside from founding EconIR WEB, I am also the President of JEC Berlin. Being a student who has a deep interest and passion for economics and international relations myself, I know how challenging it can be to find ways to engage with your areas of interest. Therefore, I created EconIR WEB. I hope that through EconIR WEB we will be able to build a strong community of students who share the same passion. Cant wait for you to join!
