Jerry Robert Kajuga (1960[1] – before March 2007) was national president of the Interahamwe,[2] the group largely responsible for perpetrating the Rwandan genocide against the Tutsi people in 1994. Born to a Tutsi father and a Hutu mother, Kajuga concealed his background and presented himself as being of pure Hutu descent. This is notable as Hutu Power extremist groups considered Hutus who married Tutsis to be race traitors,[3] and Kajuga went to great lengths to conceal his identity.
