Abstract
French troops in Rwanda have discovered the massacre of around 7,000 Tutsi massacred in a football stadium. A nearby pit would contain 3,000 bodies. This discovery leaves the French in a terrible dilemma as their 800 men in Kibuye found themselves defending the predominantly Hutu population, whose forces carried out the massacre.
