Nzirorera is jointly accused with the president of the former ruling party, the MRND, Mathieu Ngirumpatse, his vice president Edouard Karemera, and the former minister of primary and secondary education, Andr\u00e9 Rwamakuba.\n<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p  >\nThe ninth witness testifying for the second day was a member of the Interahamwe in Mukingo commune, Ruhengeri Prefecture. The witness identified as GFA said he was informed by another Interahamwe called Michel Migabo that Nzirorera had given orders that the boy had to die. \u201cHe (Migabo) told me he had just spoken to Nzirorera on the phone and that the child must be killed.  After he said that, we went and killed him,\u201d GFA said.  He did not state the exact date when the incident took place. The witness added that he heard that the boy whose mother was a Tutsi was Nzirorera's child.  He only gave the name of the mother as Kiberwa from Busogo secteur. GFA testified further that the Interahamwe in Mukingo respected Nzirorera very much because he was their leader. The chamber went into closed session before it adjourned so that it could hear evidence on rapes committed by Interahamwe in Busogo.  The prosecutor asked that the evidence be heard behind closed doors for security reasons. GFA will continue testifying on Thursday. Government One trial is taking place in Trial Chamber Three of the ICTR composed of Judge Andresia Vaz from Senegal, (presiding) and ad litem judges Flavia Lattanzi from Italy and Florence Rita Arrey from Cameroon.
