Rwanda calls French genocide report 'important step'

Rwanda on Friday hailed as an important step a French report that said Paris bore overwhelming responsibilities over the 1994 genocide but was not complicit in the killings.

Kigali said it "welcomes the report of the Duclert Commission, which represents an important step toward a common understanding of France's role in the genocide against the Tutsi".

"An investigative report commissioned by the government of Rwanda in 2017 will be released in the coming weeks, the conclusions of which will complement and enrich those of the Duclert Commission," it added.
