KIGALI, Rwanda, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Radio France International has been taken off the air in Rwanda, just days after the government severed diplomatic ties with France.
Rwandan officials stopped all activities of French state institutions last week after a French judge implicated President Paul Kagame in the assassination of his predecessor, Juvenal Habyarimana, the BBC reported.
Habyarimana's death sparked a mass slaughter that claimed 800,000 lives within 100 days. Kagame has denied involvement.
The French ambassador left the capital Kigali on Saturday.
"The BBC, Voice of America and Germany's Deutsche Welle are the only international radio stations now broadcasting to Rwanda on FM," the BBC said.
