According to the government of Rwanda, one of the countries John F. Kerry wants to beg for forgiveness may have aided and abetted the Hutu tribes in the murder of almost a million people: Rwanda inquiry into French role. (Hat tip: Radian.)

Rwanda is to investigate France’s alleged role in the mass killing of Tutsis and moderate Hutus in 1994.

The Rwandan government said it was setting up an “independent commission charged with assembling the evidence of France’s involvement in the genocide”.

Rwanda has regularly accused the French of aiding and abetting the Hutu extremists who killed 800,000 people.

Paris denies responsibility - although it has admitted supporting Rwanda’s former Hutu-led government.

The current Rwandan government, which took over after the genocide, argues that Paris knowingly armed the killers and provided an escape route after their defeat.
