France “could have stopped the genocide” in Rwanda: confusion around Emmanuel Macron’s message. The President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron joined the commemorations of the thirty years of the Tutsi genocide with a press release released on April 7.
The content of the message is largely reminiscent of the speech given in Kigali by the French head of state on May 27, 2021. At the Élysée, we speak of “ overinterpretation ” by the media of the elements sent to the press.
