Pour l'instant, la capitale du Rwanda ressemble encore beaucoup à une ville fantôme.

Abstract
- In Rwanda, the gradual departure of the French continues: 190 of them took off yesterday [July 29] from the Goma air base. Several dozen other soldiers from Operation Turquoise will leave during the weekend. About twenty left this morning aboard an Antonov. The deadline for the end of the French withdrawal remains August 22.
- The United States, for its part, has decided to send 200 soldiers to Kigali to promote the return of the refugees. But for now, Rwanda's capital still looks a lot like a ghost town.
- Since Sunday [July 24], there are tens of thousands of refugees who have chosen to return. Very few of the millions who remained in Zaire or in the Turquoise zone. They return to an almost deserted country, the houses abandoned and looted. And the roadblocks of RPF soldiers still control the passages.
- The tea fields or the banana plantations are empty: there is little or no harvest. In the central market, the few quarters of meat and the vegetable stalls are still very thin. Daily life is difficult. The government formed, a few ministries have opened but the city still seems to be waiting.
- Kigali, like the surrounding countryside, sometimes seems quite empty. There used to be 350,000 inhabitants. Today there are only 50,000 in a city without water, without electricity, with a little activity around the market.
