Rwanda gives French envoy 24 hrs to leave, cuts ties
Reuthers ^ | 11/24/06

Posted on 11/24/2006 8:53:34 AM PST by TexKat

KIGALI (Reuters) - Rwanda has cut diplomatic ties with France and given the French ambassador 24 hours to leave the central African country, Kigali's foreign affairs minister Charles Murigande said on Friday.

"We in the cabinet have decided to cut our diplomatic relations with France. We have ordered the French ambassador to leave our country within 24 hours and given other French diplomats 72 hours to leave the country," he told Reuters.

Murigande also said Rwanda would close the French cultural center in the capital Kigali.

The move came as Rwanda recalled its envoy from Paris after a French judge called for President Paul Kagame to stand trial over the 1994 killing of a former leader, sparking the country's genocide of 800,000 people.

French foreign ministry officials had no immediate reaction to Rwanda's decision to break off ties with its former ally.

So what's your point?.....that the United States is the broker for all that is bad in the world?

State your case.

Six months after Allied Forces liberated German concentration camps, a military tribunal formed at Nuremberg to prosecute Nazi war criminals. Some of the most dangerous were brought to justice--but not all. Over 4,000 former Nazis went to work for the US government, without the public's knowledge, to help fight the Soviet Union. Reinhard Gehlen, an intelligence officer for Hitler's General Staff, was tapped to head the US intelligence program in West Germany to spy on the Russians. At the same time, former Nazi scientists and engineers were welcomed onto American soil. In 1998, a bill was finally signed into law that mandated declassification of documents concerning recruitment of former Nazis. We dig into the records to see if the ends justified the means and ask how far the US should go to partner with a former enemy to fight another.

You're putting words in my mouth…I never defended Stalin…you're intentionally distorting the argument…get back to justifying U.S. genocide on the Third World.

I want to hear your arguments FOR our covert wars on the poor.

You haven't condemned him yet either.....

I'll do what I always do; I despise Nazis, communists, and any other would be dictator.

You red-tinged rants are becoming tiresome.

Try reading those quotes again, and see if you can see where the screw up is; I'll help you in a minute or two if you haven't figured it out by then.

..I'm not using the word impunity, but unlike the rest of the world, we elect people, not slaughter our way to prominence like the folks I am sure you love so much.
