They Shoot Horses in Rwanda!

Paris denounces Rwandan genocide claims and accuses Rwanda of "unacceptable accusations" after a report says France was actively involved in the 1994 genocide. An independent Rwandan commission has accused France, saying that Paris had been aware of the preparations for the genocide and the French troops had direct involvement in the killings when they trained the ethnic Hutu militia.

Paris has consistently rejected the claims and denied any responsibility for the genocide that left about 800.000 people dead.

A French foreign ministry spokesman said, "This report contains unacceptable accusations made against French political and military officials." Meanwhile, Rwandan Information Minister Louise Mushikiwabo said she hoped the French officials named would be indicted for war crimes. "The government has asked the courts to use this report. We hope that legal proceedings will follow," she is quoted as saying by the AFP news agency.

They Shoot Horses in Sudan!

Humanitarian aid agencies in the Sudanese Darfur erupted region claim that the African-UN mission in the region is failing to provide adequate protection to civilians. The Darfur Consortium, one of the main African relief and advocacy groups says in a new report the force is too small and it has inadequate fund.

The commander of the force in Darfur told the BBC that the report touched vital issues while the people expect too much to be done.

The joint African Union and the UN mission in Darfur (UNAMID) set up after the UN Security Council promised to protect some four million people caught up in the war between the Sudanese government and the rebels. However, Khartoum insisted that African should make up the bulk of the soldiers.

Luis Moreno-Ocampo, prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has accused the leader of the dictatorial regime of Sudan, Omar al-Basher of crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur.

The UN estimates that 300,000 people have died as results of the conflict in Darfur since 2003, while more than two million people have fled their homes.

It seems that the ICC needs to lead deep investigations in the human rights abuses in Sudan since the coup of 1989. The crimes are not committed only in Darfur. Many Sudanese has faced torture in the Ghosts’ Houses in Khartoum following the first 3 years after the military coup.
