Abstract
George 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 in Rwanda, Martres had had a sense that violence and massacres could recur, but was unable to imagine that the violence in Rwanda could reach the scale of which it did.
