The French presidency has been hatching plans for Emmanuel Macron's possible trip to Kigali in the first week of May. The French president's visit, which has not been confirmed, will depend largely on the health situation in France next month, where stricter measures lasting four weeks were enforced on 31 March. The trip would come only a few weeks after the release of the Duclert commission's report on France's role in the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda. The commission's findings were presented to the French president at the end of March. While the report does not accuse France of complicity in the genocide, it underlines the responsibility of French policy and points a finger at former president Francois Mitterrand and his government for supporting Rwanda's former leader Juvenal Habyarimana.
