Abstract
In Paris, the French leaders have declared that the military expedition is aimed at the threatened Tutsi population and that the soutien international grand justifies the decision to engage the troupes. The massacre of Tutsi by supporters of the Rwandan government continues unabated despite a meeting between the government and the papal envoy who pleaded for an end to the massacres. When French troops left Gisenyi, where Cardinal Roger Etchegaray met with representatives of the Rwandan government, houses continued to burn in the commune of Bisesero, in the interior, sixteen kilometers from Lake Kivu, near Kibuye.
