Abstract
- The Minister of Defense, Mr. Léotard, announces the beginning of the French withdrawal at the end of July.
- On the ground, in the capital, Kigali, residents have been growing bolder since the end of the fighting and are gradually returning.
- For eight days since the fall of the city, they've been waiting for nothing more than to be able to return home, to leave the dozen or so temporary camps where they were confined by the Rwandan Patriotic Front, officially for security reasons.
- Gilbert is one of them. Trapped at Saint-André College, he finally returns to his home, deserted by his family, who fled Kigali for fear of the Hutu militiamen. Gilbert: "Being long and with a slightly sophisticated face was enough to get massacred".
- Another of these camps, a hotel in the city. Its 1,400 temporary guests are also invited to return home. Their homes have been searched, their neighborhood secured. And in any case, the RPF doesn't have the means to feed them here any longer.
- An RPF that seems to aspire to only one thing: to maintain its respectability and distance itself from the ethnic politics of the defeated government. However, their trust in journalists, who seem a little too curious in their eyes, is very limited.
- For the RPF, it's certain, the war isn't quite over yet. For the population of Kigali, however, the fear of arbitrary massacres is finally receding.
