Comment
In this praise of Grégoire de Saint-Quentin, François Lecointre, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, writes that Rwanda occupies a special place in his career. What does he mean ? That de Saint-Quentin witnessed the genocide being ignited? He witnessed the attack on President Habyarimana's plane, he was one of the first on the scene, he probably found the black box and missile debris and heard Aloys Ntabakuze, commander of the paras-commandos, give the order to start the slaughter.
