French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday that France and its allies could have stopped the 1994 Rwanda genocide but lacked the will to do so, a strong declaration ahead of the African country’s 30th anniversary of the slaughter that left over 800,000 people dead.
Macron’s office said in a statement that the French president will release a video on social media on Sunday as Rwanda marks the solemn commemoration of the genocide.
In the video, Macron says that “France, which could have stopped the genocide with its Western and African allies, lacked the will to do so.”
And they could have done the same in Palestine… They just don’t have the will. History is repeating itself.

Now they have the opportunity to stop another one, but lack the will to do so.
This is not the time for reflection and regret. It is the time to inaction, you need at least 20 years for reflection and regret.
Oh our hands were tied. What could we do. We couldnt anger Israelis. God forbid
France could have stopped their own genocides.
Just slightly short of saying “we still don’t care about brown and black people getting Genocided”.
