Macron admits that France could have stopped the genocide in Rwanda

French President Emmanuel Macron admitted that his country could have stopped the 1994 genocide in Rwanda with its Western and African allies, but lacked the desire to do so.

The Elysee Palace said on Thursday, ahead of the thirtieth anniversary of the start of the massacres: “On May 27, 2021, in Kigali, the President of the Republic recognized France’s responsibility in the genocide of the Tutsis, which was determined by the committee of historians and researchers led by Professor Vincent Duclair on France’s role and commitment to Rwanda.”

The Elysee explained that “on April 7, 2024, the Head of State will reaffirm France’s standing alongside Rwanda and the Rwandan people in memory of the million children, women and men killed because they were born Tutsis, and will reaffirm the importance of the duty of remembrance, but also of developing and disseminating knowledge, especially through education.” Young generations in France.

A source from the French presidency told Agence France-Presse that Macron, who in 2021 acknowledged France's "responsibilities" in the genocide, will speak on Sunday "through a video that he will publish on social media."

The source added, "The Head of State will particularly remind that when the stage of complete genocide against the Tutsis began, the international community had the necessary means to know and take action, through its knowledge of the genocide operations revealed to us by the Armenian and Holocaust survivors, and that France, which was able to stop the genocide with its allies." Westerners and Africans, she did not have the will."

Macron received an invitation from Rwandan President Paul Kagame to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the genocide on Sunday, but he will not attend the ceremony and will be represented by Foreign Minister Stephane Ségournet and Rwandan-born Minister of State for the Maritime Herve Bervil.

    The leader of the Afghan Taliban issues a statement in 7 languages ​​after an audio recording and flogging and stoning of women and men

    On Saturday, in a statement, the leader of the Afghan Taliban movement, Hibatullah Akhundzada, called on officials in the movement to put aside their differences and devote themselves to serving their country, as Eid al-Fitr approaches.

    It seems that public opposition within the Taliban is unlikely, but some leaders in the movement have shown dissatisfaction with decisions taken by the leadership, especially the ban on female education.

    Akhundzada, a reclusive leader who rarely leaves the Taliban stronghold in Kandahar province in the south of the country, and never appears in public, has played a major role in imposing restrictions on women and girls, sparking international outrage and isolating the Taliban on the global stage.

    Akhundzada's message was distributed in seven languages, including Uzbek and Turkmen, and is an attempt by the Taliban to court the rich Central Asian countries for investment, and to give legitimacy to the country's rule.
