This genocidal massacre on May 13 and 14, 1994 in Bisesero (west of Rwanda), one month and a half before "Operation Turquoise", killed nearly 50,000 Tutsi civilian victims. The Tutsi of Bisesero that french soldiers of "Operation Turquoise" abandonned during three days at the end of june 1994 were the rescapees of this massacre. This abandonment is likely to have been motivated by the concern that no witness remains of the participation of white soldiers (designated as French by former genocidaires who massacred Tutsi with them) in the massacre of May 13 . These two events are fore sure inseparable.
