Some believed that he was living in Kenya. It was not a surprise that he was in France, probably, all this time.
However, those who have a basic understanding of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, they would know that France was the prominent supporter of the Hutu group. Félicien Kabuga also belongs to the Hutu ethnic group.
France openly backed the Hutu-led government of Juvénal Habyarimana against the Tutsi-dominated Rwandan Patriotic Front, which since 1990 were engaged in restoring the rights of Rwandan Tutsis.
