On April 11, 1994, the French School was still under the responsibility of the French soldiers of Operation Amaryllis. Nick Hughes, the British cameraman, confused them with Belgian soldiers who, following the French, took control of this school the next day, April 12. The scene captured by Hughes appears on television channels from April 11 as here on France 3 at 7.30 p.m.
