That freedom to intermingle (witnesses with other witnesses, with the accused, with spectators, etc.) has a way of extracting the truth that will not have been revealed during the Gacaca session! An accused somehow always freely reveals the truth to an unconcerned individual in confidence, who in turn surprises a Gacaca session with unsolicited information at one point. The informant may be from the crowd of spectators, from the witnesses, the 'judges' or even from any of the accused, acting as a witness!<BR/><BR/>That disorder is thus somehow vital to the Gacaca courts!<BR/><BR/>PanButamirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03135362759646067366noreply@blogger.com
