OnTuesday, Nzirorera's lead counsel Peter Robinson continued cross-examiningGFA, a former member of the Interahamwe militia in Mukingo commune. His evidence touched mainly on Nzirorera whom he described as a “king ofMukingo”. GFA also stated for the second time that the Interahamwe inMukingo commune obeyed all the orders given by Nzirorera. ” Everything hesaid had to be obeyed,” he said. According to the witness, Nzirorera set up the Interahamwe in Mukingocommune in 1991 and supported its activities. He also directed theInterahamwe to bring down all the flags of all other political partieswhich were rivals of the MRND in the commune.
