The French government bears significant responsibility for enabling the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, according to a Monday report from the Rwandan government.
The report was commissioned by the Rwandan government in 2017 and compiled by Robert Muse of the Washington, DC, law firm of Levy Firestone Muse. While the report acknowledges French humanitarian intervention after the genocide began, it argues the French government “helped build and fortify” Rwandan institutions for years in a bid for East African influence that later became instruments of the genocide.
The Muse report is expansive and totals more than 600 pages. Hundreds of witnesses were interviewed, and more than 100,000 documents were reviewed. The Rwandan government allowed full access to its archives, while the Muse report states that the French government produced no documents despite three requests made during the course of the investigation.
