Rwanda Breaks Diplomatic Ties with France

Following Tuesday's accusation by a French judge that Rwandan President Kagame (pictured) should be tried for the death of former Rwandan President Habyarimana that led to the Rwandan genocide, Rwanda has decided to end diplomatic relations with France. Rwanda says that France is "trying to bring down its government." Meanwhile, Rwanda has launched an investigation into France's possible involvement with the genocide. President Kagame has immunity from French prosecution, but could be tried by the UN's ICTR. Get more information here.
