- About sixty kilometers from Kigali, the Gahini hospital which has a hundred children. Orphans are likely to be one of the major problems for the months and years to come. Many children were left for dead, and grenades and machetes left their mark on them.
- The Akagera river carries corpses by the hundreds every day. And the beauty of the surrounding landscapes has given way to the apocalypse: the dead are added to the dead, perhaps 200,000 in four weeks.
- The UN Secretary General is talking today about sending a force of 5,500 men. A little late, right?
- The Benaco camp on the Tanzanian border has 250,000 refugees. This is the most important that the UNHCR has known, which is afraid of having to face an epidemic of dysentery and cholera.
- Meanwhile in Kigali, the clashes continue. According to the latest news, the Rwandan Patriotic Front is said to have gained the upper hand.
