Emmanuel Macron repeated his 2021 declarations on France’s “responsibilities” in the massacres. “France assumes everything and exactly that in the terms that I used” that day, insisted the Head of State in a video broadcast this Sunday.
On Thursday, he had already estimated that Paris, “which could have stopped the genocide with its Western and African allies, did not have the will”, according to comments reported by the Élysée. After decades of tensions between Paris and Kigali, a rapprochement was made possible following the establishment of a commission by Emmanuel Macron.
