Former French Prime Minister Alain Juppe, Mayor of Bordeaux, speaks to the media in front of the city hall on April 7, 2014, two days after the French government announced that it was pulling out of Monday's commemorations in Kigali after Rwandan President Paul Kagame again accused France, an ally of the Hutu nationalist government prior to the 1994 killings, of having helped the slaughter of 800,000 ethnic Tutsis take place. Juppe, right-wing ruling party member, was in charge of the Foreign Affairs ministry between 1993-1995. AFP PHOTO MEHDI FEDOUACH
