Spread This NewsBy VOAZimbabwe’s Foreign Affairs Minister Ambassador Frederick Shava has given the clearest sign ever that Harare is ready to extradite Ethiopian genocide fugitive and former President, Mengistu Haile Mariam. Shava denied criticism that Harare is a safe haven for genocide fugitives after the United Nations accused it of harboring Rwandan fugitive, the late Protais Mpiranya. He said Harare was not aware that Mpiranya was in the country until after he was found dead by a United Nations team tracking him down. He promised that the country will investigate how Mpiranya was able to evade capture in the country until his death in 2006. Masiye said Harare has a track record of harboring genocide fugitives as Mengistu has not been brought to justice enjoying protection from Harare.
