On November 1990, Colonel Rwagafilita told General Varret "
I ask you these weapons, because I will participate with the army in the liquidation of the problem. The problem is very simple : Tutsis are not very numerous, we will wipe them out".
Back in Paris, General Varret reports but in vain. On 1993, he is ousted from the command of the Military Cooperation Mission by a military lobby close to the President François Mitterrand who "
did not want to take into account the risks of this policy of support to Habyarimana". Unfortunately, adds Varret, "
the history proved it was an offence, more than a mistake, since it resulted in genocide".
