Rwanda steps up diplomatic fight with France
2006-11-25
Nice to see the French finally fighting in their weight class.
Rwanda on Friday recalled its ambassador to France and said it might break diplomatic relations with Paris in a row over arrest warrants related to the 1994 genocide issued by a French judge. A day after some 25,000 people rallied in Kigali to denounce France, alleged French complicity in the genocide and the judge, Rwanda's foreign minister announced the move, accusing Paris of trying to destroy the government. "We have recalled our ambassador to Paris, we don't see why he should be there at this point," Foreign Minister Charles Murigande said, adding Kigali might not send the envoy, Emmanuel Ndacijimana, back and cut ties with France. "We want some consultations with him and we'll see what happens later," he told AFP. "France is intent on destroying our government, we do not see any need for keeping any relationship with a hostile country."
