Prostitution in Rwanda Prostitution is illegal in Rwanda. However, due to the immense poverty in the country, many women have been forced into prostitution to make money. It is thought that around 25% of sex workers in Rwanda are HIV positive. On September 23, 2006, Valeria Nyirahabineza ordered prostitutes in Rwanda to stop selling sex otherwise they would face legal action. He claimed that prostitution was a root cause of the HIV problem facing Rwanda. In March 2007 Paul Kagame gave a speech stating that prostitution in Rwanda must be stopped, he stated “It is not part of Rwanda’s path to development and, therefore, must stop.”

Prostitution in Lebanon Prostitution is nominally legal in Lebanon. Officially, Lebanese law requires that brothels be licensed, a process that includes regular testing of workers for disease. However, in an attempt to gradually eliminate legal prostitution in the country, current government policy is to not issue new licenses for brothels. As a result, most prostitution now occurs illegally, and among the most prominent prostitution ring leaders are the German Sarah Schneider, the Lebanese Nour Touotunji and the Syrian owner of the 'Chez Maurice' brothel.

Role of France in the Rwandan Genocide The role of France in the Rwandan Genocide of 1994 has been a source of controversy and debate both within and beyond France and Rwanda. France actively supported the Hutu-led government of Juvénal Habyarimana against the Tutsi-dominated Rwandan Patriotic Front, which since 1990 had been engaged in a conflict intended to restore the rights of Rwandan Tutsis both within Rwanda and exiled in neighboring countries following over four decades of anti-Tutsi violence. France provided arms and military training to Habyarimana's youth militias, the "Interahamwe" and "Impuzamugambi", which were among the government's primary means of operationalizing the genocide following the assassination of Juvénal Habyarimana and Cyprien Ntaryamira on April 6, 1994.
