- Title
France et Rwanda : le cercle vicieux.
- Authors
Chrétien, Jean-Pierre
- Abstract
Rwanda made it to the headlines of the French media in the 1990s, as Paris' political and military implication in the Rwandese civil war grew. In 1998 a French parliamentary commission of inquiry pointed out the blindness of the French authorities to the process that led to the 1994 genocide of the Tutsi. But Rwanda still captivates French minds, and denunciations of « French complicity to genocide » have responded to accusations against the Rwandese Patriotic Front and the « Anglo-Saxon powers ». Between Paris and Kigali, the crisis went open in 2006, and the two countries broke diplomatic ties. Since then, episodes of tension and attempts at reaching a compromise based on a clear acknowledgment of the genocide have followed one another in close succession.
