Jacques Chirac : « Ce qui se passe au Rwanda est une véritable horreur. Ce génocide est inimaginable. Et donc, j'approuve tout à fait [le principe] d'une action humanitaire tendant à séparer des gens qui s'entretuent. On ne peut pas laisser ces gens se massacrer comme cela »
Abstract
- At the United Nations, Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali asked the Security Council to accept the French proposal for a military-humanitarian intervention in Rwanda. The United Nations will not be able to send troops to this country for three months.
- The French intervention is therefore set up and organized from Bangui. The most likely scenario would be simultaneous action on two axes from eastern Zaire for Hutu refugees as well as Tutsi refugees. There are tens of thousands of refugees there in both cases, all at risk of being massacred by one or the other camp. This shows how time is running out.
- The staff is expected tomorrow in the Central African capital.
- Jacques Chirac: "What is happening in Rwanda is a real horror. This genocide is unimaginable. And therefore, I completely approve [the principle] of a humanitarian action tending to separate people who are killing each other. can't let these people slaughter themselves like that".
