Rwanda accuses 22 French army officers of genocide

The Rwandan government this week named 22 French senior military officials accused of aiding in the planning and execution of genocide in 1994.
According to Rwanda’s National Commission for the Fight Against Genocide, the French officers were involved as both perpetrators and accomplices.
Acts said to be perpetrated in Rwanda included the establishment of tools for genocide, leading in acts of torture and concealing crimes committed by the Juvénal Habyarimana regime.
The statement also included the names of 3 officers from Paris believed to be involved in crimes.
“As supreme commander of the Army, Jacques Lanxade received many reports of abuses by the Rwandan army, the massacres, its discriminatory and genocidal policy, but he maintained increased assistance to this criminal army; by providing means like equipment and logistical support, for its training and development.”
General Christian Quesnot and General Jean-Pierre Huchon were also named.
