Abstract
- In Rwanda, the new government went to the town of Gisenyi to try to reassure the refugees. The United Nations Security Council calls on all Rwandan parties to promote the return to the country. And UNHCR has set up a radio station to give them the information they need.
- In the refugee camps, old transistors are still looking for a station. According to some reports, Radio Mille Collines or another Hutu radio station still broadcast maddening propaganda and rumors from time to time.
- Conversely, the UNHCR houses another humanitarian station, which is set up to broadcast practical information to the million and a half refugees from north to south Zaire. Robert Ménard, "Director of 'Reporters Without Borders'": "First of all, it is to provide the information that people need in matters of health, food, hygiene. The second objective of this radio station is clean up the spirits. It is not only the water of Lake Kivu that is polluted, there are also the spirits. There are a number of things that need to be explained to calm people down, to break with the propaganda that killed people in over the last few months".
- A technician and a French journalist as well as interpreters from Radio Agatashya, that is to say the radio of the swallow, will give daily bulletins in French, Swahili and Rwandan. The FM band does not support other stations in the area. It will therefore be easy to capture for refugees.
- Further south, a Swiss is setting up the same operation to cover up to the Turquoise zone.
