He revealed this yesterday on Monday 19th January 2021 as Rwanda officially released its report on the role of French Government during Genocide against Tutsi. <\/p>\n
The report was made by a law firm based in the United States of America (USA), Levy Firestone Muse. <\/p>\n
Bob Muse, a partner at Levy Firestone Muse presented findings of the report to the Government of Rwanda during a special cabinet meeting that convened yesterday at Village Urugwiro. <\/p>\n
The 600-page report is entitled \u201cA Foreseeable Genocide: The Role of the French Government in Connection with the Genocide against the Tutsi.\u201d<\/p>\n
Minister Biruta has revealed that the report was made on the request of Rwanda.
\n\u201dThe report follows the recent one made by expert commission of researchers and historians commissioned by President Macron. It is not a response to the first report. They were made differently at different times. What is clear in this report is that the French Government at the time bears a significant responsibility in failing to prevent a foreseeable Genocide. They saw all the signs and were aware of the planning and execution of the genocide but did not act to prevent it,” he said. <\/p>\n
The report features testimonies from different people including President Paul Kagame and other RPF Inkotanyi cadres. <\/p>\n
Both reports indicate that French Government bears responsibility during Genocide against Tutsi. <\/p>\n
\u201cDuclert report reviewed archives until 1994 but Rwanda\u2019s report also analyzed the period after 1994 where it reflects on events that intended to tamper with evidences on the role of French Government during Genocide against Tutsi,\u201d said Minister Biruta. <\/p>\n
He also highlighted that Rwanda\u2019s hinted on records of former French President, Mitterand on Genocide and what Rwanda suspected to have fueled \u2018Genocide deniers\u2019. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt also draws attention on events and evidences after Genocide including trial of eight senior military officials accused by Jean Louis Burguiere. This prompted Rwanda to spend time following up these court cases,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Minister Biruta explained that Rwanda\u2019s report is not meant for criminal investigation even though it was made by lawyers. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Government of Rwanda doesn\u2019t intend to use the report for criminal investigation but a fact-finding report meant to clarify historical facts,\u201d he noted. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
