PARIS—The Paris appeals court, on Friday, July 1, upheld a decision to end a years-long investigation into the plane crash that sparked Rwanda’s 1994 genocide, citing lack of sufficient evidence.
The probe has damaged France–Rwanda relations for years, because it targeted several people close to current Rwandan President Paul Kagame. His justice minister welcomed Friday’s decision, and his supporters have denounced the investigation as an attempt to exonerate France’s suspected role in the genocide.
