The Rwandan Patriotic Army killed an estimated 18,000 civilians — among them women and children — in the prefecture of Gitarama from July 1994 onward. The commander who led the 157th brigade in that area was Fred Ibingira.
In this interview, Rwanda's former prime minister Faustin Twagiramungu talks about a 400-page document of lists of victims killed by RPA forces from July 1994 to April 1995. The document includes letters to then interior minister Seth Sendashonga, who was assassinated in 1998.
The lists were compiled with the help of Hutu peasants and prisoners from Gitarama prison under the direction of André Sibomana, a highly respected Rwandan priest and rights activist. Sibomana died in 1998.
The RPA has never been tried by the ICTR for these killings.

FROM THE ICTR VAULT:
In 1996, before Kagame's troops invaded eastern Zaire and destroyed Hutu refugee camps, the Republican Rally for Democracy in Rwanda (RDR) – a political group that advocated the peaceful return of Hutu refugees to Rwanda — conducted a partial investigation of Hutu civilians killed by RPA troops prior to and during the genocide. The incomplete study listed the names of more than 20,000 victims whose murders by RPA soldiers were witnessed by family members and other villagers across the country. Nearly 40 percent of the victims were from the northern Rwandan prefecture of Byumba.
The lists of victims along with detailed testimonies from witnesses are contained in eight volumes numbering more than 1,400 pages submitted by the RDR to the ICTR in 2000. A 12-page excerpt of one volume is found here. Digital copies of the pages have been made.
