- The Archbishop of Kigali, two bishops and 13 priests were massacred by rebel soldiers tasked with guarding them. In another district of the Rwandan capital, a dozen religious were also assassinated.
- South-west of Kigali, Nyamirambo, stronghold of the Hutu militias, a roadblock every 200 meters. Armed, drugged, alcoholic, these squadrons have been sowing death and terror for many weeks.
- The Archbishop of Kigali, two bishops, 10 other priests, in all 70 people were killed by those whose mission was to protect them.
- The UN officially approved yesterday the dispatch of 5,500 peacekeepers. The principle was authorized on May 17. A long month of discussions during which several thousand people simply and for no reason lost their lives.
Comment
The special envoy Marine Jacquemin blames the massacre of clerics on the RPF but her comment is illustrated by images of the massacre at the Ntarama church.
