{Rwanda has demonstrated readiness to legally bring to courts of law the French people that were involved in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, avoiding to imitate French Judge Jean Louis Brugui\u00e8re who issued arrest warrants for Rwanda\u2019s military officers without carrying out any investigations. }<\/p>\n

In 2006, Jean-Louis Brugui\u00e8re made a report that accused some of RPF\/A-Inkotanyi soldiers of involvement in shooting down the plane of former president Habyarimana Juvenal. He released an arrest warrant for nine officers through an amorphous process that Rwanda criticized.<\/p>\n

During a press conference held yesterday, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Louise Mushikiwabo said that Rwanda is ready to bring to justice French people whether politicians or soldiers who played a role in the 1994 genocide against Tutsi. <\/p>\n

Mushikiwabo said this as the National Commission for the Fight Against Genocide (CNLG) recently released a list of 22 French soldiers involved in the 1994 genocide against Tutsi. <\/p>\n

She explained that releasing the list doesn\u2019t mean these soldiers are going to be arrested rather one way of justice leading to that. <\/p>\n

Mushikiwabo explained that names of politicians involved in the 1994 genocide against Tutsi will follow the recent list of soldiers adding that this will mark the need to begin investigations. <\/p>\n

She noted that Rwanda will try all the best to reveal the truth leading to pursuing French people involved in genocide. <\/p>\n

Mushikiwabo however said that Rwanda won\u2019t act like French Judge, Jean Louis Brugui\u00e8re who woke up and selected names of people he claimed to have shot down the former president\u2019s airplane without investigations. <\/p>\n

\u201cTo issue arrest warrants, some processes have to be passed through. Brugui\u00e8re woke up, closed eyes and selected names of people he accused of shooting down the airplane, throwing all judicial processes to the wind which would involve; carrying out investigations, inform him\/her start and give him\/her a space to defend self followed by other judicial actions,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Mushikiwabo said that Rwanda will request France the right to access suspects that were involved in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi to investigate them basing on existing information. <\/p>\n
