Yabajijwe ku ruhare rw’u Bufaransa mu Rwanda mu gihe cya Jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi mu 1994 kugeza ubu igihugu cye kitemera, ahitamo kuvuga ko ari uruhare rwa bamwe mu bayobozi b’u Bufaransa muri icyo gihe, kuko ubwo abasirikare babwo boherezwaga mu Rwanda, hari abazanywe n’indi migambi yihariye.

Yanakomoje ku Bafaransa bafatiwe mu Rwanda, avuga ko ubwo u Bufaransa bwoherezaga abasirikare muri Opération Turquoise, cyari igikorwa cyitwaga icy’ubutabazi mu buryo budashidikanywaho ariko hari n’abazanywe n’indi migambi.

Yakomeje agira ati ”Ariko hari n’abantu mu Ngabo z’u Bufaransa batajyanywe n’ubutabazi, ahubwo no kwitambika abahagaritse Jenoside, Ingabo zari iza FPR. Kuva mu ntangiriro, sinibuka amatariki neza ariko nko ku wa 14 cyangwa 15 Nyakanga, hariho agace ntarengwa kiswe Zone Turquoise, abasirikare b’Abafaransa baza kurenga ako gace barafatwa.”

Ugufatwa kw’abo basirikare ntikwakunze kugarukwaho cyane ndetse Leta y’u Bufaransa yo yabihakanye ibinyujije mu nyandiko yagiye isohora, ubwo ibinyamakuru byatangazaga ko hari abasirikare babwo 18 bafashwe n’Ingabo za FPR mu duce twa Kibuye.

Uwo mubare watangajwe mu kinyamakuru Courrier International no 215 yo ku wa 15 Ukuboza 1994, cyifashishije amakuru yatangajwe muri Le Soir, nyuma y’ikiganiro umunyamakuru wacyo yari yagiranye n’uwari Visi Perezida w’u Rwanda, Paul Kagame.

Kuva akiri Visi Perezida w’u Rwanda ubwo Jenoside yari irangiye, Kagame yanenze uburyo u Bufaransa nta kintu bwakoze ngo buhagarike abicanyi kimwe n’abasirikare ba Guverinoma yakoze Jenoside, babanyuragaho bahungira mu mashyamba ya Congo.

U Bufaransa kandi bwashinjwe kenshi ko muri icyo gihe bwafashaga abicanyi mu buryo butaziguye ndetse bushinjwa ko bwahaye intwaro Interahamwe n’igihe zari mu nzira zihungira muri Congo nyuma yo gutsindwa urugamba.
