In 2005 , he published '' Noires fureurs , blancs menteurs . Rwanda , 1990-1994 '' ( '' Black Furies , White Liars . Rwanda , 1990-1994 '' ) about the Rwandan genocide . This controversial book was an explicit attack on François-Xavier Verschave 's work concerning " Françafrique " , a term connoting the specific kind of neocolonialism imposed by Charles de Gaulle and successive presidents of the Fifth Republic on the former African colonies of the French colonial empire . In his book , Péan defends the attitude of the French government during the Rwanda crisis . He also accuses the FPR and Paul Kagame of being responsible for the assassination of Juvénal Habyarimana . The fact that he alleged the existence of a " counter-genocide " immediately sparked critics of his book as a revisionist attempt to alter the accepted history of the Rwanda genocide with a false comparison
