Rwandan President Paul Kagame Addresses Accusations of Habyarimana Death

The World

Last week, Rwandan president Paul Kagame was accused by one of his former allies of being the man responsible for the death of Juvenal Habyarimana.

Habyarimana was the president of Rwanda until 1994 when his plane was shot down.

His death is what set off the Rwandan genocide. Tuesday for the first time, President Kagame addressed a direct question about the accusation during a press conference.

Anchor Marco Werman talks to The World’s Mary Kay Magistad who attended the conference.
