French President Emmanuel Macron has publicly acknowledged that France and its allies had the capability to prevent the 1994 Rwanda genocide but failed to act due to a lack of will, potentially saving 800,000 lives. This statement comes as part of a broader reflection on France's role in the tragedy that led to the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives. Human Rights Watch has released documents detailing France's involvement, while Macron's admission aligns with the 30th anniversary of the genocide. Macron's comments have sparked discussions on France's foreign policy and its historical impact, with experts critiquing the current administration's approach to European military mobilization as unstable. The acknowledgment of France's failure is seen as a significant moment in addressing past atrocities and the country's responsibility.
