Amid all the kerfuffle about who should head the IMF and Cheryl Cole being axed from the US X-Factor comes a story that dwarfs these in importance. The capture and pending extradition of Ratko Mladic is a great moment. On a par with it, is the arrest of another bogeyman from the mid-1990s, former Hutu militia leader Bernard Munyagishari, ending his 17 year flight from justice. Interestingly, both were apprehended in neighbouring countries to their homelands, Mladic in Serbia and Munyagishari in the Democratic Republic of Congo, probably because Bosnia-Herzegovina and Rwanda were extensively scoured for them. May they both rot in jail for the rest of their lives at the very least (Munyagishari might be executed, though I think a life jail term for such a person might be more excruciating). These moments hopefully will allow the Balkans and Rwanda if not to move on from their pasts, at least lay some ghosts to rest. It has been a long time in coming.
