6.3 S'agissant des conclusions de l'Ambassade de Suisse selon lesquels ses origines tutsies étaient remises en cause, le requérant rétorque que dans la région de Kinshasa, la majorité de la population est incapable de distinguer entre hutus et tutsis, l'élément principal étant simplement la nationalité rwandaise.

La plupart des victimes ne pouvaient être formelles parce qu'elles n'avaient rencontré le coupable qu'une seule fois et n'avaient pas noté de signes particuliers, avaient rencontré le coupable dans le noir et n'avaient pas regardé leur visage ou ne l'avaient pas bien vu, étaient très jeunes et peu familiarisées avec les personnes originaires d'autres régions, et donc incapables de distinguer les non-Congolais les uns des autres, ou ne se souvenaient pas de ce qui s'était passé des semaines ou des mois auparavant.
The investigators found that most victims were unable to make positive identifications because, for example, they had had only one encounter with the perpetrator and did not take note of identifying characteristics; they had met the perpetrators in the dark and either did not look at their faces or did not see them properly; they were very young and unfamiliar with those not native to their areas and were therefore unable to distinguish one non-Congolese person from another; and they did not recall events weeks or months later.
