New rape allegations against French troops during Rwandan genocide
2006-12-14
I don't want to look like I'm playing against my team by posting this, but in all honestly, if this is confirmed, there's a serious house-cleaning needed, like the US army has proved it can do. Regardless, rwanda is one big stain on France, and the propaganda war continues to this day, with the msm relays of the quai d'orsay pushing the "two genocides" theory.
More female survivors of Rwanda's 1994 genocide have accused French troops of raping them, in allegations of sexual abuse by peacekeepers that France had in the country at the time.
Testifying Thursday before a Rwandan government-appointed panel probing alleged French complicity in the mass killings, two women told in detail how they been violated at the ages of 12 and 14 respectively.

Both witnesses were granted anonymity by the inquiry commission, which was forced to briefly suspend its fourth day of a second round of public hearings when one member collapsed in tears during the testimony of the then 14-year-old.

The woman, a member of Rwanda's Tutsi minority that made up the vast majority of the some 800,000 victims of the genocide, claimed she had been handed over to a French soldier by extremist Hutu militia in southwest Rwanda.

#1  I followed this extremely closely as I could while it was happening and since and France was definitely involved at some level with the genocide.
