SITUATION REPORT NO. 5
SITUATION AS OF 1600 EDT, 04/08/94 EDT,
• (C) RPF Commander Kagame told DIA Col. Parker the RPF
is attacking south through the DMZ. They expect to be in
Kigali tomorrow. The RPF justified the move because the
ceasefire has been violated, its Kigali contingent had
been attacked, the Rwandan army is killing officials and
Tutsis, and the UN is unable to control the situation.
The RPF will not interfere with expatriate departures and
will cooperate with UNAMIR and foreign governments in
Kigali. (1415 EDT Kagame/Parker telcon)
• (LOU) Major General Ndindiliyimana has taken control
of the armed forces and is negotiating with UNAMIR
General Dallaire and RPF elements at an undisclosed
location. According to the Embassy, the Major General is
"professional" and wants an end to the fighting.
(Embassy telcon)
• (LOU) As of 1430 EDT, the situation in the Seventh Day
Adventist mission in Mudende had improved. The Americans
followed the consul's advice and gathered in a central
location (two neighboring houses) and "paid off" the mob,
which is no longer menacing them. (Embassy telcon)
• (LOU) A group of 24 Americans living outside of Kigali
are organizing a convoy to travel overland to Burundi
Saturday. They received permission from gendarmerie and
military authorities, and the Embassy believes the roads
are generally open, although there are sporadic
roadblocks. (Embassy telcon)
.
• (U) Two French military "cooperants" and the wife of
one of them were reportedly killed by RPF troops. They
had reportedly been providing refuge to Hutus in their
home. (Embassy telcon)
