University of Edinburgh rector accused of genocide denial sparking apology to Rwandan government

The rector of the University of Edinburgh has been accused of genocide denial, sparking a formal apology to the Rwandan government.

Lord rector Debora Kayembe claimed on Twitter that the current Rwandan president had "orchestrated" the genocide against the country's minority Tutsi population.

The 1994 genocide, where around 800,000 Tutsis were killed in 100 days, is considered to be one of the worst crimes against humanity in history.
