France "should be charged" for Rwanda genocide

Rwandan government officials claim that new proof of France's role in the 1994 Rwanda genocide has emerged during the UN's Rwanda court hearings. Not only was France training the genocidal militias prior to the genocide, the French government was even today providing perpetrators of the genocide a refuge. France has earlier been criticised by a European court for not trying genocide suspects.

Horrible!
How did Jacques and the cheese-eating surrender monkeys manage to keep this a secret for so long and let the United States take the blame?
Of course, the Leftist MSM carried all their water, with help from their good friends in Hollywood.
I hear the current "hit" movie "Hotel Rwanda" manages to heap plenty of blame on Uncle Sam for the massacre.
I suppose we could have sent troops in to stop it the killing, but our first "black President" Clinton chose not to...maybe because he didn't want to declare war on those fierce French warlords.
Here's the BBC's version of the story:
France 'shelters guilty Rwandans'

A Rwandan official has called for legal action against France over its alleged role in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.

Aloys Mutabingwa, a representative at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, said the court had heard enough evidence of France's involvement.

He said some 100 Rwandans wanted by the court or by Rwandan prosecutors were "comfortably living in France".

At least 800,000 people,mostly minority Tutsis, died in the massacres between April and July 2004.

French were individually and collectively responsible for allowing the massacre to unfold, he said.

I don't think any kind of a legal case, even with huge reparations, will give aggrieved Rwandans the satisfaction they want, nor will it bring back the almost one million victims of the genocide, but France needs to stop sheltering the Rwandan thugocracy that made it possible and France should be humbled and publicly exorciated for their role in this.
What really makes me burn is when I recall Jacques Chirac's and Dominique de VILEpin's sanctimonious hectoring of President Bush and his awful, "warmongering" ways while their hands are running red with blood that is over a decade old!
France regards the continent of Africa as their "backyard" and it's time for that to stop if the only fruit it bears are thousands of corpses!
