France and Rwanda boost their relationship

Description

Kigali (Rwanda), May 27 (EFE/EPA).- (Camera: Eugene Uwimana) French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday admitted his country’s “responsibility” in the 1994 Rwandan genocide but denied any collusion in carrying out the massacre of about 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus.“The killers roaming the swamps, the hills, the churches, they didn’t have the face of France. France was not an accomplice,” said Macron at the Kigali Genocide Memorial, where the remains of 250,000 victims are buried.FOOTAGE OF MACRON VISITING THE GENOCIDE MONUMENT IN KIGALI AND OF THE PRESS CONFERENCE OF MACRON AND THE RWANDAN PRESIDENT, PAUL KAGAME.
