Comment
This information turned out to be false: on February 21, 1993, Le Monde, a reputedly serious newspaper, published the account of a massacre of several hundred civilians by the RPF, which in reality had never took place (cf. No Witness Shall Survive, p. 146). On March 3, 1993, the Minister of Information, Pascal Ndengejeho, asked Ferdinand Nahimana, director of ORINFOR, to stop broadcasting provocative remarks and to provide him with proof of the massacres of 500 civilians at the displaced persons camp in Rebero (M. Mas, p. 254).
