France and the Rwandan Genocide: Guilt Without Punishment – Opinion

Emmanuel Macron makes quotes saying that Paris did not have the will to stop the genocide in Rwanda in 1994. A bang, only: the passages in question are missing from the original video. A glitch, as the Élysée claims? Certainly, and what a one.

Words rarely weigh more heavily than when they are meant to capture the incomprehensible nature of a genocide. The causes, the responsibilities. For example, in the case of Rwanda and the genocide against the Tutsi: almost a million deaths in just a few weeks, 1994. An eternal wound. Every word weighs a world, especially when it comes from the West and especially from France. Most historians agree that Paris played a dark role back then. It was behind the regime of the perpetrators, the Hutu.
