Abstract
- Edouard Balladur this afternoon before the United Nations Security Council. Accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Prime Minister will ask the UN to replace French forces with peacekeepers and emergency humanitarian aid before the end of July.
- Nearly a million people are fleeing the advance of the Rwandan Patriotic Front. One of the most impressive exoduses in history. They are mostly Hutu, women, children, the elderly, and lost militiamen of the old regime.
- A human tide thrown onto the roads, fleeing the fighting but also the cruelties that well-orchestrated propaganda imparts to the Rwandan rebels. We are in Rushashi, 40 kilometers west of Kigali, the capital, now in the hands of the Patriotic Front.
- They are flocking to the humanitarian zone controlled by the French military, hoping to find protection and food. But only two camps in the French zone are actually provided with international humanitarian assistance. - Here, in this field hospital, care is provided to civilians and soldiers. But the enormous food problem remains: the need is estimated at more than 500 tons of food per day. This would be impossible to deliver without the mobilization of humanitarian organizations.
- In less than a week, the number of refugees in western Rwanda has risen from 800,000 to 1.5 million.
