NDIHIRO MET WITH DCM AND POLOFF ON MAY 27. HIS CENTRAL
MESSAGE WAS THAT THE RPF REMAINS COMMITTED TO THE ARUSHA
NEGOTIATIONS, DESPITE THEIR SLOW PACE. NDIHIRO HAD JUST
RETURNED FROM A TOUR OF BRITAIN, BELGIUM, GERMANY, AND
SWITZERLAND WITH RPA COMMANDER PAUL KAGAME, WHO HE SAID
HAD RETURNED TO REBEL-HELD RWANDA ON MAY 26.
3. NDIHIRO DESCRIBED THE RPF POSITION ON THE ISSUES OF
ELECTIONS IN THE DEMILITARIZED ZONE, THE RPF ROLE IN THE
GENDARMERIE, AND THE FRENCH ROLE IN PEACEKEEPING
FORCES. HE OFFERED AN EARNEST EXPLANATION OF RPF VIEWS
ON THOSE TOPICS, BUT DID NOT BREAK ANY NEW GROUND.
4. THE DCM WELCOMED NDIHIRO'S ASSURANCES THAT THE RPF
REMAINED COMMITTED TO THE ARUSHA TALKS, AND STRESSED
THAT BOTH SIDES WOULD HAVE TO MAKE REAL CONCESSIONS TO
MAKE THE NEGOTIATIONS A SUCCESS.
