Rwandan genocide: former French army officer casts doubt on France's role

Description

Ceremonies in Rwanda marking the genocide of 20 years ago focused on national reconciliation. Tension, however, prevails between Kigali and Paris with Rwandan President Paul Kagame restating his belief France was partly to blame for the slaughter. One French news website reports on a statement made by former army officer Guillaume Ancel that France's operation in 1994 was a military offensive before becoming a humanitarian one.
