France resumes genocide probe against Rwanda ex-president’s widow


France’s judiciary on Wednesday ordered the resumption of an almost two-decade investigation into accusations that the widow of Rwanda’s former president Juvenal Habyarimana was involved in the 1994 genocide. Investigating magistrates last year dismissed the case into alleged complicity in genocide and crimes against humanity against Agathe Habyarimana over “insufficient evidence”. But the judiciary overturned that decision and ordered that the investigation, which started in France in 2007, should continue.
