Following a cabinet decision to stop all activities of French state institutions, Rwanda has ordered Radio France International off the air, in an escalating row over events leading to the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
Thousands of people in Rwanda have been holding anti-French protests in the capital, Kigali, and on Friday, Rwanda cut its diplomatic ties with France after a French judge implicated President Paul Kagame in the assassination of his predecessor, an act, which caused a mass slaughter that claimed 800,000 lives within 100 days.
