Résumé
On June 27, 1994, Marin Gillier arrived in Gishyita with about thirty of his men. From this position, he watched armed men, most of them in civilian clothes, set off from Gishyita towards Bisesero, 5 kilometers as the crow flies, to storm it. Despite the information received the day before from journalists reporting massacres of Tutsi in the area, he reports the events to his superior, Colonel Rosier, head of the COS of Turquoise, speaking of "fights" against elements RPF infiltrators. In his report, Gillier however also mentions that the population of Gishyita is carrying out "revenge raids" and that the Tutsi civilians who lived in Gishyita "fled to Bisesero from the start of the conflict".
