Abstract
Colonel Rosier cooperated with the perpetrators of the genocide and ordered his subordinates to do the same. He organized the extermination of the last Tutsi survivors of Bisesero, passing them off as advanced RPF elements wanting to cut the government area in two. With his subordinates Colonel Didier Tauzin and Commander Marin Gillier, he helped bring from Cyangugu as reinforcements to Bisesero, Yusuf Munyakazi and his militiamen. Everywhere else, he allowed the genocide to continue on the pretext of preventing RPF infiltration. He camouflaged this support with disinformation operations in the media, equating the Tutsi with the rebels and the militiamen with citizens defending their homeland. He also organized rescues of clerics to cover up other shameful acts. The French soldiers themselves witnessed the killing of the Tutsi by the Interahamwe. They dropped Tutsi from helicopters. Colonel Rosier put a stop to the RPF offensive in the southwest by defending the perpetrators of the genocide. He didn't disarm the killers, he didn't stop them. He hid their crimes and showed his contempt for their victims by setting up a military base on the mass graves of Murambi (Gikongoro) school where blood was still oozing.
