I'm skeptic but the timing and wording is suspect, at least in my eyes.
I'm trying to find the right words but I'm found wanting.
It feels like a political play as a sort of non-threatening reminder of who's boss. I cant help but think the ulterior motive, especially in these tough economic times, might yet be more sinister than the downcast eyes of Macron. That being said, I do respect Macron and his vision for the EU, just wish he'd keep his policies in the EU and France and let go of Africa.
France still has undue influence in African politics till this day - so its hard to explain their timing and reasons, a few decades too late. Rwanda has moved on to become a real power in continental politics especially on development and the EAC. Not to mention that Kagame is super well respected as statesman (and feared).
It's a hypothesis though and nothing more.
