Rwanda probes possible role of French officials in genocide
KIGALI -- Rwanda has launched an inquiry into the possible role of at least 20 French military and other officials in the 1994 genocide, the prosecutor general said on Wednesday, a move that will deepen already strained relations with Paris.
Rwanda has frequently had diplomatic rows with France since the genocide, when about 800,000 mostly ethnic minority Tutsis and moderates from the Hutu majority population were killed.
"Up to now, we cannot say that we already have something sufficient to make charges on those people," Muhumuza said.
"This is why we need to talk to them and hear their version of the story," he said, adding he hoped those named would agree to be questioned.
