About 27 years after the Rwandan genocide, French President Emmanuel Macron acknowledged France's role in the mass killings during a visit to the Gisozi memorial site in Kigali, Rwanda's capital. He said that France accepts responsibility for ignoring warnings, but stopped short of an apology or admitting complicity. ⁣

“Where would France be without its huge possessions in Sub-Saharan Africa? Where would France be without its possessions in Asia, without Algeria?” asks Professor Mame-Fatou Niang.

Let's be honest the reason that he is even doing this is because Rwanda is distancing itself from France every year.

Imagine apologizing, yet, absolving any wrongdoing after the fact. You can’t put a disclaimer on an apology and actually think anyone will believe you genuinely meant it.

France has murdered 22 African leaders since the 60's alone. This 'sorry' is a mockery as Macaroni is as bad or maybe even worse than any other French President in history. He is reviled everywhere he goes.
