Rwanda accuses French of aiding the Genocide-2/3

Rwanda Accuses Top French Officials in 1994 Genocide

In a detailed report, the Rwandan government is accusing France of being complicit in the "preparation and execution" of the 1994 genocide that killed some 800,000 people. The report released by the Rwandan Ministry of Justice Tuesday accuses top French officials, including former prime minister Dominique de Villepin and the late former president Francois Mitterrand, of playing a major role in the genocide. We speak with investigative journalist Linda Melvern, author of two books on Rwanda. Melvern testified in July 2007 before the Rwanda commission investigating France's role in the genocide.

NO MORE FROGIES (FRENCH) IN AFRICA. LEAVE THEM FREE.

[SpamJavelin0]

The emnity between the Hutus and Tutsis were caused during Belgian colonial times when they made the tutsis masters over the hutu.And just before the war belgian liberals embaressed at their colonial past encouraged the hutu ruling class to rise up against the tutsi. So all you ignorant racist trash should learn history before opening your stupid ignorant mouths.American inaction in face of international calls.They refused to even call it genocide and argued against calling it that.

@caraba421 I'm sorry to say that but what you're saying is bullshit ! The operation turquoise was not a humanitery operation but military , to give military suport to the hutu milices who killed slaugtered the tutsis against the FPR who defended the tutsis , and to help the hutu murderers to escape to foreign countries .

There were already killings way before april 6th 1994 when the hutu president was killed afther an airplain crash .

Tutsis where considered as coceroaches by this president !

Fuckin French whores.

@kulanowa The Frenchs didn't take part to the massacres they came backed by the UN to stop the slaughter, in "operation turquoise". The USA arguing that was not a genocide and to favour their puppet K, hampered this initiative. Boutros Ghali declared that the US were the main responsible of the UN failure.Clinton admitted it was one of its greatest mistake and regret.The UN assimilates the massacre of Hutu in RDC as a genocide.Stop seeing K as a nice chap,its place is in front of a tribunal
