French President, Emmanuel Macron, on Thursday said that only Rwandans could forgive France for its role in Rwanda’s 1994 genocide.
Macron made this statement in a speech at the genocide of Gisozi in Kigali, where more that 250, 000 Tutsi are buried.
According to him, “On this path, only those who went through that night can perhaps forgive, give us the gift of forgiving,”
Macron said that France did not listen to those who warned it about the impending massacre in Rwanda and stood de facto by a genocidal regime.
But France “was not an accomplice” to the genocide, Macron added.
