no relation to that of Paris. France has never had anything to say. The French are the most implicated in the affair — and nothing, not a single word. But simple apologies, showing that one feels affected by what happened here, would make a big difference. To be unable to do this when one was so deeply implicated only makes the situation get worse. It is up to France to think about it. It is up to France to decide. If a French representative came to Kigali to present apologies to Rwandans, it would make an enormous difference. This is what Rwandans are expecting.
Apologise? The French? To a country that’s recently changed its official second language from French to English?
