The Franco-Rwandan author and musician Gaël Faye explains that he wanted to repair an injustice by giving a face to these three women who agreed for the first time to testify in front of a camera.
They filed a complaint in France.
But the investigation entrusted to the "genocide and crimes against humanity" pole of the Paris Tribunal de Grande Instance is at a standstill.
In the interview he gave us, Gaël Faye also talks about his next novel and his new EP called "Mauve Jacaranda", in reference to a tree that grows in his garden in Kigali and in the shade of which he wrote this new opus.

Even before the Covid-19 pandemic, scientists were sounding the alarm: new infectious diseases could emerge due to climate change.
According to a study published at the end of April, Africa is particularly exposed.
Dengue, for example, only existed in Asia and America before becoming endemic on the continent.
According to experts, it is global warming that has directly allowed the proliferation of mosquitoes of the genus Aedes which transmit this virus.
In Dakar, researchers are trying to find solutions to deal with the emergence of new diseases.
