France Accused in Rwanda Genocide




In 1994, in just 100 days, one tenth of Rwandas population was killed, nearly 800,000 people.

Today an independent Rwandan commission has made public a report that says France was aware of preparations for the genocide and helped train the ethnic Hutu militia perpetrators.

According to the BBC, the commission spent nearly two years investigating France's alleged role in the genocide.

It heard testimonies from genocide survivors, researchers, writers and reporters.
