Editor,The Prosecutor General’s realisation of the impossibility of France rendering any justice on cases related to the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi has taken an extraordinarily long time, but is welcome nonetheless.

You cannot expect the same country in whose ambassador’s residence Theoniste Bagosora formed his genocidal government – the best proof of that country’s approval of Bagosora’s murderous project – to then turn around and do anything about those who executed that project. This would run against all the tenets of natural justice that no one should be a judge in their own case.

In reality, France is an unindicted conspirator in the Genocide. Her continuing ability to grandstand as a human rights proponent without her Western allies and their media laughing her off the stage in derision despite her documented role in the Genocide against Rwanda’s Batutsi, long ago convinced me of the West’s hypocrisy whenever they push human rights on any issue in international fora.Mwene Kalinda(Response to the story, Rwanda considers legal action against France over fugitives, The New Times, December 27)
