Georges Martres, former french ambassador to Rwanda

Georges Martres was the French ambassador to Rwanda from 1990 to 1993. He left in April 1993, a year before the genocide started. During his time there, he had had a sense that violence and massacres could reoccur but he was unable to imagine it could reach the scale that it did. Here he describes the overall political situation during his post and his feelings as he left Rwanda
