À Gahini les victimes sont tutsi, ailleurs elles sont hutu. Ce sont les civils qui paient les frais de ces combats ethniques

Qu'il est difficile de croire ne serait-ce qu'à une trêve quand les rebelles ne croient qu'à la solution militaire.

- The war has resumed in Rwanda, fierce fighting takes place in the capital. This war, which has already claimed hundreds of victims, resumed after a ceasefire agreement had been finalized. Today it is the international terminal of the airport of the Rwandan capital, Kigali, which was the target of the fighters.
- They are talking about a ceasefire but the mortar shells continue to fall on the city. These images are the first to reach us from Kigali, the Rwandan capital, where violent clashes have been taking place for weeks.
- The rebel movement of the Rwandan Patriotic Front tightens its grip every day around the capital. Almost everywhere, images of the dead: rebels, government officials, innocent people too.
- Here, in Gahini, the victims are Tutsi. Elsewhere they are Hutu. It is the civilians, again and again, who pay the cost of these ethnic fights.
- Since the beginning of the conflict, on April 7, more than a million people have fled the fighting to seek refuge in neighboring countries. How hard it is to even believe in a truce when the rebels only believe in a military solution. How difficult it is, too, to believe in peace when women and children swim across this river. To save themselves, they have to fight their way through the corpses.
- This war in Rwanda has already created 500,000 refugees.
