Prime Minister Jean Kambanda visits the National University of Rwanda to thank the staff for the well-done “work” of killing Tutsi and encourages them to develop effective methods of self-defence. Bernard Kouchner, a former French Minister of Health and formerly the French Minister for Humanitarian Affairs, as well as co-founder of Médecins Sans Frontières, visits Kigali. Kouchner tells journalists that Tutsi and Hutu members of the opposition were massacred for what they were, and that is genocide. He emphasises that the massacres perpetrated by the government against innocent citizens were totally unacceptable by the French Government, and that the Rwandan Government should not expect any further military assistance from France as has been the tradition. He dismisses as a sham the excuse that President Habyarimana’s death was a cause for genocide.
