The Dishounourable Man

French foreign minister and man-who-used-to-have-morals Bernard Kouchner laying a wreath at the Rwandan Genocide Memorial in Kigali, on Holocaust Remembrance Day (Jan. 27th).


Given that France was financing and arming the genocidaire Hutu regime (or interim administration, to be more precise, since president Habyarimana had been murdered (his plane was shot down) at the eve of the genocide), and was covering for them in the Security Council, voting against the funding and mandate of the UN Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) and refusing the use of the word 'genocide' (what do you call 800 000 dead in 100 days, a fucking accident?), I think that the French government has a lot to expiate for. And since the foreign minister didn't even apologise - speaking only of 'France making a mistake' I think he shouldn't be let anywhere near the pure, blood-soaked soil of the little country.

Shame on you, Kouchner. You disgust me.
