Abstract
French Complicity in Rwanda: The Mobilisations by Citizens and Political Parades This article provides a context for the Duclert Report within the history of citizen-led mobilisations to obtain an acknowledgment of French responsibilities in the genocide against the Tutsi and the political parades these mobilisations encountered. Although the Duclert Commission succeeded in preparing an impressive summary with thousands of archival references in the space of two years, this article shows that it does not offer any kind of breakthrough at a political level. The report allows the French government to put an end to the debate on France's role in the Tutsi genocide, and to claim to have brought it to a conclusion, so that it can neutralise critical questions more effectively.
