Özet: The shooting down of the airplane carrying Rwandan President Juvénal Habyarimana on 6 April 1994 triggered decades-long conflict between Tutsi and Hutu, and more than 800,000 Rwandans were killed by Hutu extremists in Rwanda during 100 days of horrible violence. This incident led to the questioning of the role of states, western-based international institutions, and organizations in Rwanda. The actors in questioned have faced various criticisms and accusations regarding their role in Rwanda. One of the states at the center of criticisms is France. This study aims to review the reasons behind these accusations and criticisms, as well as present an evaluation regarding the role of France in Rwanda in the light of recent developments in the media.
