Rwandan Genocide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (6651 words)
Operation Turquoise is charged with aiding the Hutu army and fighting against the RPF.
Battalions of Interahamwe continue to operate in eastern Congo, destabilizing the region and causing tension between Rwanda and the DRC.
The charges lifted against the French army during Operation Turquoise from June to August 1994 are of "complicity of genocide and/or complicity of crimes against humanity." The victims allege that French soldiers engaged in Operation Turquoise have helped Interahamwe militias in finding their victims, and have themselves carried out atrocities.
