Europe 'ignoring French role in genocide'

[Dr Qasim Afridi]

A damning report has accused France of knowing that a genocide was being planned as early as 1990. It also claims that French soldiers took part in rape, sexual harassment and torture during the period in 1994 when 800,000 people were killed in ethnic violence.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Rosemary Museminali, the Rwandan Foreign Minister, said that the people responsible for the murders still needed to be brought to justice.

Rwanda cut diplomatic ties with France two years ago after a prominent French judge indicted senior Rwandan officials for allegedly conspiring to shoot down the aircraft carrying former President Juvenal Habyarimana - an act which triggered the genocide.

The Rwandan president has a conflict of interest on this issue, considering he is suspected of ordering the shooting down of the plane carrying President Juvenal Habyarimana. Insofar as the West was culpable, it was by its inaction.
