French President Emmanuel Macron delivers a speech at the Elysee Presidential Palace in Paris, on 4 April 2024. He is expected to deliver a video message on the Rwanda n genocide at the weekend. The 30-year anniversary of the start of that slaughter will be commemorated this weekend.
In a video message to be published on Sunday to mark the 30th anniversary of the genocide, Macron will emphasise that"when the phase of total extermination against the Tutsis began, the international community had the means to know and act", a French presidential official said, asking not to be named.
