Abstract
- New fighting in Kigali. Bernard Kouchner, on the spot, spoke of a veritable genocide. The convoy in which he was, yesterday [May 15], was targeted: shooting with automatic weapons in the south of the capital Kigali. No one was hurt.
- The country is sinking into a terrible civil war, a bloodbath. We are now talking about a death toll of around 500,000! And there is an urgent need to come to the aid of thousands of refugees who no longer have anything. The example of two nuns settled in the center of the country. They try to cope with the situation with the means at hand.
- It is a place so far spared in Rwanda. A retreat held by two nuns, a Swiss and a French where the Tutsi, who had the chance to escape the murderous fury of the Hutu militiamen, come to take refuge, exhausted. The danger persists but the Sisters have remained.
- The European nuns are assisted by Rwandan Sisters, essentially Tutsi like the majority of the local clergy. Each exit to redistribute the little food or medicine available can cost them their lives.
- Drinking water is running out, cholera threatens and refugees continue to arrive. But the Red Cross was finally able to set up a surgical unit here, the only one in the region.
