Rwanda's President Paul Kagame visited Paris on Tuesday to unveil a monument dedicated to victims of the Rwandan genocide, alongside French President Emmanuel Macron, in a further acknowledgement by France of its role in one of the worst atrocities of the 20th century.
The monument stands on the banks of the Seine, on the Esplanade Habib-Bourguiba near the Pont de l'Alma, in the heart of Paris, and is presented as a new step in France's efforts to take responsibility for its past policies and re-engage with Africa.
