The French supplied the Hutu army during the Rwandan genocide primarily due to geopolitical interests in the region. France sought to maintain influence in Central Africa, positioning itself as a supporter of the Hutu-led government against the Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF). This support included military training and arms, which contributed to the Hutu government's capability to carry out mass killings. French involvement was also driven by a desire to counter perceived threats from neighboring countries and to uphold a Francophone alliance.
