A permanent memorial dedicated to the victims of the 1994 Rwanda Genocide was unveiled in Paris on Tuesday, June 2, according to allafrica. President Macron attended the inauguration, as reported by france24. The event is part of France’s prolonged and disputed process of acknowledging its political, military, and diplomatic actions during the genocide. The publication of the Duclert Commission report and the opening of French archives helped establish a factual account of France's role, france24 reported. France continues to confront difficult questions about its involvement, according to france24. Historian Juliette Bour, author of a forthcoming French-language book titled 'Like Men, Women Politicians Complicit in Rwandan Genocide', said the recognition of France's role remains incomplete and contested. Her book examines the role of women involved in the genocide, france24 reported.
