| Africa Live: France lacked the will to stop Rwanda genocide - Macron - BBC News | |
| (32 minutes later) | |
| President Emmanuel Macron has said that France and other countries could have stopped the 1994 Rwandan genocide, where ethnic Hutu extremists killed more than 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus. | |
| “France, which could have stopped the genocide with its Western and African allies, lacked the will to do so," Mr Macron said in a video message. | |
| The video is set to be aired during the 30th commemoration of the Rwandan genocide on Sunday, President Macron's office said. | |
| The event is set to be attended by several international guests including French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné and ex-US President Bill Clinton. | |
| Relations between France and Rwanda have recently been on the mend, following years of tensions over France's alleged involvement in the genocide. | |
| France has been accused of failing to do enough to stop the Rwanda genocide. French leaders have denied its complicity in the genocide. | |
| However, in a 2021 visit to Rwanda, Mr Macron said that France had a duty to "recognise the suffering she has inflicted on the Rwandan people by too long valuing silence over the examination of the truth". | |
