Habyarimana's Plane

Rwanda's government released a report this week on who shot down Habyarimana's plan in 1994, igniting the genocide in Rwanda. Here's NY Time article about it. Very interesting. http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/12/the-spark-that-ignited-rwandas-inferno/?ref=africa

  1. "The report says that members of Mr. Habyarimana’s inner circle plotted his death, and his own wife may face charges in a new French court established to prosecute Rwandan refugees in exile there who are suspected of genocide."

    I hope this happens. The article mentioned that France and Rwanda only reestablished diplomatic relations last year after a French judge accused Kagame of being involved in the attack. Pretty wild.
