In Rwanda the government forces are in difficulty: the rebels of the Patriotic Front have taken control of Kigali airport. The inhabitants of the capital still live in terror.
- If for four days the fighting has been concentrated around Kigali airport, it is because the logic of war requires, the place is strategic.
- But the intensity of the shelling was also due to another reason: very close to the tracks is the Kanombe camp, a large government barracks. That night it was surrounded by Rwandan rebels.
- For the Blue Helmets, still present at this airport, the situation has become delicate. The UN wanted to make it a neutral zone to transport food and men. But it is too late: the rebels, since this morning, are masters of the place and refuse the ceasefire proposed by the United Nations.
- And it seems that in the city of Kigali the situation is deteriorating again dramatically, as a resident of the Rwandan capital told us a few moments ago by telephone: "I am very afraid because the massacres are not finished. A lady who had a child on her back, they asked her to take the child away. And then they were massacred in front of our house".
- According to humanitarian organizations, 100,000, 200,000, maybe half a million people have died massacred since the beginning of this civil war.
