Quick Glance: Macron: France and Allies Could Have Stopped Rwanda Genocide
- French President Emmanuel Macron believes France and its Western and African allies could have stopped the 1994 Rwanda genocide but lacked the will to do so, according to the presidency.
- Macron highlights that the international community had the means to act at the time, drawing on historical experiences of genocide in WWII and WWI.
- In a video message for the 30th anniversary of the genocide, Macron will state that France and its allies had the capacity to prevent the genocide but lacked the necessary determination.
- Despite recognizing France's role in the genocide, Macron will not attend the commemorations in Kigali but will be represented by the French Foreign Minister.
