Macron Acknowledges France's Role in Rwanda Genocide

French President Emmanuel Macron admits France and its allies had the means but 'lacked the will' to stop the 1994 Rwanda genocide.

Emmanuel Macron states France could have prevented the 1994 Rwanda genocide, marking a significant shift in acknowledging France's role.
The statement was made ahead of the 30th anniversary of the genocide, which claimed the lives of an estimated 800,000 people.
Macron's acknowledgment comes after years of France facing accusations of complicity in the genocide.
France will be represented by its Foreign Minister at the genocide's commemoration in Kigali, as Macron releases a video message.
This move is part of Macron's broader effort to confront France's colonial and post-colonial history.
