French Court Sentences Rwandan Genocidaire Laurent Bucyibaruta to 20 Years in Prison_我的网站

一 |     Bucyibaruta, 78, was found guilty of complicity in the massacres of nearly 1 million people in 1994 by the Hutu Power movement.,In particular, he was found responsible for leading thousands of Tutsis to take refuge in the Murambi Technical School, promising that French troops there would protect them from the violence. Instead, the refugees were denied food and water for days. The weakened refugees defended themselves with rocks for several days, but were overrun on April 21, 1994, when the French troops disappeared. At least 20,000 Tutsis were executed at the school, while those who escaped were found and killed at a nearby church a few days later.,The school is now a memorial and museum about the genocide, which ended that summer, roughly 100 days after it began, when the Tutsi Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) led by now-President Paul Kagame overthrew the Hutu Power government.,The French court also looked at Bucyibaruta's responsibility for another smaller massacre at a school in Kibeho, and the execution of several Tutsi prisoners in Gikongoro prison. In the trial, the former prefect denied all responsibility or connection, saying he “was never on the side of the killers.”,Bucyibaruta is the highest-ranking Rwandan official who has been taken to trial in France in connection with the genocide. In May, Protais Mpiranya, who was commander of the Rwandan presidential guard at the time of the genocide and played a key role in drawing up and executing the “kill lists” of officials during its initial stages, was found to have died in Zimbabwe in 2006, where he hid under a false name.,The killing was the product of decades of divide-and-rule colonial policy by German and then Belgian rulers, and continued by France after Rwanda gained independence in 1960. The teachings pitted the Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups against each other, with Hutus being taught that the Tutsis were invaders occupying their land. The Hutu Power ideology elevated this attitude to genocidal proportions, and after then-Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana’s aircraft was shot down on April 6, 1994, his Hutu allies sprung into action, blaming Tutsis as well as moderate Hutus for the attack.,Roughly 10,000 Twa people, a separate ethnic group, were also killed in the genocide, amounting to one-third of the Twa population.,In February, a French court blocked an attempt by families of the victims of the crash to reopen an investigation that had ended inconclusively. The crash also killed Burundian President Cyprien Ntaryamira; both men were Hutus.,In May 2021, French President Emmanuel Macron met with Kagame in Kigali, but while he did not apologize for France’s support for the Rwandan government at the start of the genocide, he did acknowledge “the magnitude of our responsibilities.”,Two other French reports from earlier that year found the government of then-French President Francois Mitterrand bore “overwhelming responsibilities” for the genocide for continuing its divide-and-rule tactics while being fully aware of Hutu preparations for a genocide of Tutsis, as well as arming, advising and protecting the Hutu-led Rwandan government.,After the Hutu government was overthrown in July 1994, its remnants fled across the western border into Zaire, and soon began mounting new attacks. When the Rwandan military, now Tutsi-led, intervened in Zaire to hunt down the Hutu militias, it helped set in motion the destruction of Zaire, the foundation of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the decadelong Congo Wars that drew in half of Africa and killed more than 5 million people.,The present-day tensions between DR Congo and Rwanda over militia groups in Congo’s North Kivu Province is part of the continued fallout of that conflict, with Kigali claiming that Kinshasa backs the Hutu Power group Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) and Kinshasa saying Kigali backs the Tutsi M23 militia that is fighting them.。    发表在《PLOS Digital Health》上的一项新研究发现，通过智能手机传感器被动追踪运动数据可以有效预测一个人的五年死亡风险，准确率约为70%。这项研究的结果则是基于大量的证据得出，其显示了步行速度和一般健康之间的相关性。为了达到准确的健康和死亡率预测，先前的研究通常要求参与者全天候佩戴专门的健身追踪器或在实验室条件下完成“步态分析测试”。然而，这项新研究想知道通过普通智能手机中的传感器收集的运动数据是否足以提供准确的预测。研究人员研究了一个大型数据集，其包括来自英国生物银行的10万名参与者。这些人佩戴了一周的手腕活动监测器并被跟踪了至少五年。这是目前最大的运动传感器数据集。据研究人员称，这些健身追踪器收集的短时运动强度数据类似于一个人口袋里的智能手机可以捕获的数据。“尽管这些数据是从活动监测器中收集的，但我们的传感器模型只使用了使用廉价的、目前可用的手机收集的可行的输入，”研究人员在研究中解说道，“这是可能的，因为我们用廉价手机进行了广泛的临床实验，为心肺病人的健康状况开发了高度准确的预测模型。

二 | ”利用每天仅六分钟的跟踪行走强度的数据，预测算法可以提供五年的死亡风险估计，其准确性跟全天候可穿戴设备或更复杂的临床步态测试收集的数据一样。这些发现增加了越来越多的研究，这些研究探讨了估计一个人的死亡风险的各种方法。简单的眼部扫描、血液筛查或简短的平衡测试都被提议作为筛查人们早期死亡风险的方法。目前正在计划进行更大规模的试验以更具体地关注从智能手机直接收集的数据。并且研究人员正在努力使研究队列尽可能地多样化以使预测模型在各种人群中都能准确。研究人员在研究报告中总结道：“这对健康公平来说特别重要，因为健康风险最高的人群往往资源最少--所以最有可能拥有廉价手机而不是可穿戴设备的人将从简单的评估中受益最大。手机应用可以在日常生活中记录6分钟的连续行走，然后通过人口分析计算出风险分层的预测模型。
