President Gen. Yoweri Museveni, Washington’s dependable hit-man in Africa, has been in office for 30 years. Museveni could rig next month’s elections, as he has previously done.

President Pierre Nkurunziza seeks a third term in office.

Brooklyn federal prosecutor Loretta Lynch, President Obama’s choice for the next attorney general, took off a few years in early 2000s to serve as a prosecutor with the International Criminal Tribunal on Rwanda. Lynch is proud of strong-arming Hutu defendants for a tribunal that failed to indict a single Tutsi – despite the fact that Tutsi invaders won the war and more Hutus than Tutsis died in the bloodbath.
