Subject: *DHR* France owes Rwanda apology, says Kouchner
Al JazeeraBernard Kouchner, the co-founder of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and a prominent French public intellectual, has said France should apologise for its role in the Rwandan genocide.Kouchner, 75, who was foreign minister under President Nicolas Sarkozy, made the remarks on Al Jazeera's Head to Head programme, which airs on November 14.This is the first time a senior French politician, and a former member of the government, has made such a public admission.Kouchner told Head to Head's Mehdi Hasan and the audience at the Oxford Union that although in Rwanda "the French soldiers never killed anybody", France had trained Rwandan soldiers "for three years", some of whom went on to perpetrate massacres.Kouchner, who witnessed the 1994 Rwandan genocide as a doctor there, said that later, as French foreign minister, he had "done his duty" towards the country by restarting relations and organising Sarkozy's visit in February 2010, the first by a French president since the genocide.Kouchner's comments come in the wake of increased tensions between Rwanda and France over the tragic events of twenty years ago...
