Assassination Accusation
A French investigation into the assassination of Juvenal Habyarimana, who was president of Rwanda from 1973 to 1994, concluded that Kagame was responsible for the surface-to-air missile attack that brought down Habyarimana's plane. Following the investigation in 2006, an indictment was issued, but no arrests have been made. The conclusion of the French investigation is highly controversial and has been widely criticized as being politically motivated. Kagame has agreed to cooperate with addition non-partial inquiries. -
