French President Emmanuel Macron made a significant statement on Thursday, admitting that France and its allies could have prevented the 1994 Rwanda genocide but lacked the necessary determination to do so. This declaration comes as Rwanda prepares to mark the 30th anniversary of the tragic event that claimed the lives of over 800,000 people.
Macron's office announced that the President will release a video on social media on Sunday, coinciding with Rwanda's commemoration of the genocide. In the video, Macron explicitly states that France, along with its Western and African partners, had the capacity to intervene but failed to act decisively.
