France's Complicity in the Rwandan Genocide
Rwanda has accused France of playing an active role in the genocide of 1994, in which about 800,000 people were killed. A justice ministry report said France was aware of preparations for the genocide and helped train the ethnic Hutu militia perpetrators. The report also accused French troops of direct involvement in the killings. It named 33 senior French military and political figures that it said should be prosecuted. France has previously denied any such responsibility.
