Abstract
- In Rwanda French soldiers evacuated Tutsi injured by Hutu militiamen by helicopter yesterday [June 30], a first in the framework of Operation Turquoise.
- He was injured with an ax and a machete. He's not even 10 years old. With him 18 children, all evacuated from the southern region of Kibuye in Rwanda, where they had taken refuge to flee the massacres. It was a French patrol that found them. Hidden in the mountains, hoping not to meet those of the other ethnic group who pursue them night and day and who do not hesitate to put children to death. Lieutenant-Colonel Bolelli: "We have located the most seriously wounded. And from there we are evacuating them. We will continue the evacuation in principle tomorrow morning. Tonight we will have evacuated 96 wounded".
- These are the first wounded evacuated to the rear base of Operation Turquoise, in Goma, on the Zaire border. For five days the doctors and nurses of this hospital had been waiting for them, and all those who did not dare to come out of their hiding place, hiding somewhere in the hills under the shelter of the forest.
