New Witness Strains Rwanda-France Ties Over Genocide

Minister of Foreign Affairs Louise Mushikiwabo says the government is "running out of patience" with France due to the back and forth on a file by French judges accusing senior members of the Rwanda Patriotic Front/Army of shooting down the aeroplane - an act which is believed to have sparked the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.
