Macron: France and its allies could have prevented the Rwandan genocide

French President Emmanuel Macron yesterday Thursday explained that France and its allies could stop the Rwandan genocide of 1994 but they had no intention of doing so. Experts have described Macron's statement as a strong declaration of confession before Rwanda celebrates 30 years since the country was hit by a genocide in which more than eight hundred thousand Tutsi and Hutu moderates were killed.

The Macrom office has said in its statement that the French President will release a video on social media on Sunday when Rwanda will celebrate 30 years since the genocide in the country. 

In the video, Macron has explained that "France, which together with its Western and African allies could have prevented the genocide but had no intention of doing so. In the video, President Emmanuel Macron has explained that, France and its Western and African allies which could have prevented the Rwandan genocide, lacked the will to do so.”

While on a visit in 2021 to the country in central Africa, Macron admitted about the responsibility that France bears in the genocide that led to more than eight hundred thousand people being killed, most of them Tutsi and Hutus with moderate positions who tried to protect them.
