Ancel yasobanuye uko ingabo z’Abafaransa zarebereraga Jenoside ikorwa

‘Opération Turquoise’ ni ubutumwa ingabo 2500 z’u Bufaransa zoherejwemo mu Rwanda nyuma y’umwanzuro w’Akanama ka Loni gashinzwe umutekano, wo ku wa 22 Kamena 1994. Intego yari ‘uguhagarika ubwicanyi’. Izi ngabo zakoreraga hafi n’umupaka w’u Rwanda na Zaïre mu duce twa Cyangugu, Kibuye na Gikongoro.

Ancel yagize ati “Muri Nyakanga, mu nkambi y’impunzi muri Zaïre, nabonye u Bufaransa buha intwaro ingabo za Leta kandi twari tuzi ko bakoze Jenoside. Habagaho gukimbirana mu gihe havugwaga ku kwambura intwaro ingabo zakoze Jenoside. Kuva Opération Turquoise yatangira twakomeje kugendera ku kinyoma gikomeye.”

Yasobanuye ko amakosa yakozwe, ingabo zayakoreshejwe ku mpamvu za politiki yagizwe ubwiru.

Ati “Abari badukuriye basobanuraga ko bizakorwa n’ingabo z’u Rwanda kuko zari nyinshi kuri twe, ariko byari nk’uburyo bwo kwinangira. Ntabwo twashoboraga gufata icyemezo cyo kubivuguruza. Muri icyo gihe umusirikare wambuwe imbunda yari afite ubukana kurusha uyifite; ibi byatumye hazamuka umwuka mubi, ushingiye ku kwivanga kwa misiyo ebyiri zirimo iyo kurinda umutekano w’inzirakarengane n’indi ihishe yo gushyigikira guverinoma yari inyuma ya Jenoside.”


Ingabo nyinshi zari muri Opération Turquoise ntizari zarakoze ubutumwa bw’amahoro mu Rwanda hagati ya 1990 na 1993.

Yagize ati “Ingabo zimwe zafashije FAR muri icyo gihe ntizumvaga impamvu zitongeye guhaguruka; ku rundi ruhande abari bifashe babwiwe ko ibintu byahindutse kuko muri icyo gihe Ingabo z’u Rwanda za FAR zari zaragize uruhare muri Jenoside.


Ubu buhamya bwuzuza uburi mu nyandiko yise ‘Vents sombres sur le lac Kivu’, agaruka ku byo yabonye mu Rwanda guhera muri Kamena 1994.

Mu 2014, Ancel yatumiwe mu kiganiro yahuriyemo n’abadipolomate, abanyamateka, abanyapolitiki n’abandi. Cyari kiyobowe na François Mitterrand wabaye Minisitiri w’Ingabo na Paul Quilès wayoboye itsinda ry’Abadepite b’Abafaransa bakusanyaga amakuru ku bikorwa by’u Bufaransa mu Rwanda (Mission Française d’Information Parlementaire).’’

Yagize ati ‘‘Nabwiye umuyobozi wanjye ko nshaka gusobanura akaga twahuriye nako muri Opération Turquoise imbere y’abadepite. Yambwiye ko atari njye ufata icyemezo cyo gutanga ubuhamya. Nahise mbona ko abasirikare b’Abafaransa batabwiza ukuri abayobozi b’igihugu batowe.’’

U Bufaransa ntibwemera uruhare rwabwo muri Jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi. Mu 2014, Ancel yavuze ko niba u Bufaransa bwifuza ko amakosa bwakoze adasubira, bukwiye gushyira ukuri ahagaragara.
