  France’s involvement in the Rwandan genocide: The Rwandan government has released a report which accuses the former president François Mitterand and more than 30 senior French officials of aiding the perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide, which resulted in the killing of up to a million people in 100 days.

  Here is a report from Chris McGreal of the Guardian back in early 2007:

  When the genocide started, Paris made no secret of where its loyalties lay. The French military flew in ammunition for government forces and, in the following weeks, a stream of Hutu officials travelled to Paris, including Jean-Bosco Barayagwiza, who was later convicted of genocide by the international tribunal, for meetings with President François Mitterrand and the French prime minister. Even as the mass graves filled across Rwanda, Paris engineered the delivery of millions of dollars’ worth of weapons to the Hutu regime from Egypt and South Africa.
