Abstract
The Ambassador met with Deputy Minister of External Relations Francis Nkwain April 17 to press the Cameroonian Government to detain the four highprofile Rwandans to whom it has denied asylum. Minister Nkwain did not know if the four are still in Cameroon, but said he would relay the urgency of the U.S. request for their detention to Minister Oyono who has just returned from New York. Nkwain was as non-committal as two other Ministry officials we have spoken with over the past few days (REFTEL C AND D). He remained vague about the terms under which war crimes suspects might be detained under Cameroonian and International Law. Nkwain discussed briefly the ten Cameroonian Peace keepers who await UNHCR approval to travel to Rwanda.
