00:00A British man will appear before a London court on Tuesday to face charges of aiding
00:05genocide and crimes against humanity in Kigali in 1994.
00:10It's the first time the United Kingdom has charged anyone in connection with the Rwanda genocide.
00:1765-year-old Vincent Brown was arrested and charged on Monday.
00:21He's alleged to have directed and incited acts of murder and genocide carried out by
00:27others against members of the Tutsi community.
00:31Originally from Kigali, Brown became a British citizen in 2006.
00:36He was arrested the same year, but his extradition to Rwanda was refused in 2017.
00:44Kigali then asked London to launch its own investigation into a genocide in the Rugenge
00:50district of the Rwandan capital in April 1994.
00:54British authorities say a number of investigations into similar offences are ongoing.
