“The tragedy of Rwanda is a warning”, Paul Kagame on the genocide against the Tutsi
Published on :
Paul Kagame chaired the ceremonies in tribute to the victims of the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda. More than 800,000 deaths in 3 months in the spring of 1994. This ceremony opens a 100-day period of commemorations for the victims starting this Monday.
How can we create society when the former executioners live alongside the victims? In 1994, the tenant of the Elysée, François Mitterrand, notoriously maintained close links with the Habyarimana regime. What role did France play in this genocide?
Elements of response with our guests:
Marcel KABANDA, president of Ibuka-France, the association for the memory of the victims of the Tutsi genocide.
Laurent Larcher, Africa Journalist at Lacroix,
François Robinet, Lecturer in contemporary history at the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines.
