French President Emmanuel Macron made a significant statement on Thursday, acknowledging that France and its allies could have prevented the 1994 Rwanda genocide but lacked the will to do so. This declaration comes ahead of the 30th anniversary of the tragic event that resulted in the deaths of over 800,000 people.
Macron's office announced that the French president will release a video on social media on Sunday, coinciding with Rwanda's commemoration of the genocide. In the video, Macron admits that France, along with its Western and African allies, had the capacity to intervene but failed to act decisively.
