WIKILEAKS: Closer U.S. Ties with Rwanda Would Be a Mistake
Cable from American Ambassador to France.
Among other things, the Ambassador’s cable comments about arrest warrants issued by Judge Burguiere “one of the leading players in the French fight against terrorism, and a leading world expert in terrorism”.
The France’s chief counterterrorism Judge is said to have consulted with French officials, including President Chirac, in the cases brought against nine of President Kagame’s top aides for assassination of President Habyarimana and three French aircraft crew.
According to the cable, the American Ambassador was warned by the French Judge “that closer U.S. tie with Rwanda would be a mistake” and that the international community had a certain moral responsibility in pursuing justice.
The French Judge “was not surprised by Rwanda’s official reaction, and said that the GoF [Government of France] had prepared for what it thought would be a violent response against French nationals”
