Abstract
- While Edouard Balladur is completing a trip to Beijing and Shanghai, in Rwanda, the civil war is said to have left tens of thousands of people dead. The first French were evacuated from Kigali this evening under the protection of Western soldiers. 400 French soldiers will be deployed on site.
- According to an MSF doctor contacted by phone, the ICRC managed to get out this afternoon and in the streets, they saw many, many dead.
- Since this morning, France, Belgium, the United States and Germany have been engaged in joint military operations intended to prepare the evacuation of their nationals.
- After the rejection of the new interim government, the RPF rebels are said to be a few kilometers from the capital and are preparing to launch an offensive. They warned the French troops, whom they accuse of never having played a neutral role in this country, not to stand in their way.
