"Genocides" was coined by French diplomacy after their failure and involvement in the Rwandan genocide in 1994. This was a vain attempt to grade genocide by scale of death. Anyway the most "glorious" part of French political history, The French Revolution, was an exercise in Genocide d'Etat. Since then, the French have successfully exported genocide to Algeria, Rwanda, Burundi. Cote d'Ivoire will be next.
As such all who deal with the French will be surprised that French diplomats can readily accept the situation in Sudan as a budding genocide, but downscale it par-rapport à Rwanda 10 years ago.
