Mr. John CAPITINI, Co-President of the ACP-European Union explained that the visit of his delegation was aimed at demonstrating the Assembly's solidarity with the people of Rwanda after the 1994 genocide.

After visiting Mount Rebero and the Ntarama genocide site, he said that they have been able to witness the barbaric acts committed by the perpetrators of the genocide that killed so many innocent people in this country. However he said that his delegation was encouraged by the fact that young boys can now take the cattle at six o'clock in evening to the river for water.

Hr. CAPITINI thanked the Rwandan Government for the steps so far taken in bringing the political, economic and social situation in the country back to normal. He promised that the ACP-European states would help support the Rwandan Government in bringing to justice those who carried out the genocide.

Members of the nation wide association of genocide survivors "IBUKA" held a press conference last night which focused on the assessment of the process of bringing to justice the genocide suspects.

At the end of the press conference, the association recommended that the genocide trials should be conducted by special courts, with a general prosecutor who should have special powers, and the revision of some points of the Rwandan legislation.

Tuesday 05 March 1996 : In an interview with Radio Rwanda, the Special Representative of the Secretary General of the United Nations, Ambassador Shaharyar KHAN, yesterday said there were three formulas that may be applied at the end of the last UNAMIR's mandate:

He said there could be a small successor civilian political presence after UNAMIR closes down, and that presence should addrees a number of outstanding items that remain to be fulfilled.

Another alternative could be an enlarged civilian presence which would retain some of the military elem~nts, dnly for the purpose of assisting Rwanda and the agencias in helping the refugees to return.

Ambassador KHAN explained that the ingineers, logisticians, and vehicles, would be placed at the disposal of Government of Rwanda and the agencies, to be used directly in assisting the refugees coming back, and any other requirements of the Government and the agencies.

The third formula is that there should be a mission which would engage itself in a regional context. He added that all these formulas were to be discussed by the Security Council and the Rwandan Government.

Ambassador KHAN said that the UN Secretary General had made it clear that in the absence of any reaction from the Government of Rwanda, there would be no other option but to close down completely on March, 8.

The International Committee of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent yesterday opened a three day seminar at IWACU center here in Kigali. The seminar is aimed at producing a document which is meant to help the Rwandan Red Cross to extend its services efficiently for the national reconstruction.

The Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications yesterday organised a joint meeting to examine the problems affecting transportation in the country and how they can be solved. Taxis owners and representatives from the Ministry of Defense also are participating in the meeting.

COMMENTARY

Mr. Gorbachev's Ambition In the years sinee he turned over

tlle keys to the K.retnlin to Borls Yeltsin. Mikhail Gorbaehev has been restless fn the shadow or hts sucees-

ror Overtaken

Edi .. _,.

1.al by a political

.v.. revolution he OtThe Times initiated but

could uot con· tro l, Mr. Gor

ba<.:bev retreated to the prtvate sec· tor, where he organir;ed his own foundation, ca.pi~alized on his continuing popularity abroad and twned over Xr. Yeltsin'E leadership. Now, in a bQUt of pride, Mr. Gor· bachev says ha ia prepared to run for~estd~mt if demoerata ~attnot un~ehind another candidate.

That ts a venture that could end disastrously for Mr. Gorba.chev. His popularity ts pa1nfU1ly low, and the prospects for en election surge seem remote. Russians who liked t.'le order and subsidized economy of the Soviet Union will not fo:give Mr. Gorbache<t for initiating the reforms

that ultimately destroyed that life. Those who were impatient for reform condemn him for hesitation and indeeislon. Few see:m wming tc• acknowledge that had it nor be~n for Mr. Gorbachev, Rusaia might still be a d1etatorsntp and tlle world might st!ll be waging a eold war.

HutnUltr has never bee:~. one of Mr. Gorbachev's strrmg suits, and his arrogance would not play well in a campaign. He tends to be lonz·wind· ed and to lecture people rather than c:cnverse with thern. He mastered the brass-knuckle combat of Communist politics, but ~s unschooled in barnstorming for vote&. Oes}lite the demoeratie 4hange& lte tnttoduced. Mr. Gorbachev has never run for public office tn an open etettton.

A Gorbachev candidacy couid not help but fUrther divide the democratic Yote, making it all the easier for Gennad1 Zyuganov, the Corr..munist leader, and Vladimir Zhirinovsjcy, the nationalist, to face one another in a runort election.

It's Up to Arafat By A.'r.t"THON1' LEWIS

BOSTON'- What looked tnevitabte two weeks ago h now s frail hope. The process that began in Oalo and saw Yitzhak Rabin altaka Yastr Arafat's hand on the White House lawn may tot lead to peace between Israel and the PalestiniQl'!3.

The !:lomb~ of H~mas on suceessive Sundays have erased tile lead of Prime Minister Shimon Per:1ts and the LabQt Party in the polis. The Likud and its lesder. Benjamin Netanyahu, critcs o£ the Os!o _pea~e process from the beginning, now have at le.a.at an equal chance to wir.. ,the Isneli election Mar 29. ' But the bombs did more than boost the prospects of the right-wing oppoSition. They ,')apped the belie{ of Israelis who suppcrted the peaee proce$$: the beliei'tt.at. in M.r .• ~aiat and. his Palestinian A~thori1y, Israel had a partller on \Vhom 1t cct11d re!y ir.. eonstru'!ting a secure coexistence.

Reliance was a keJT ra~tor whe.: Prime Minister Rabin accepted the Oslo formula and recognized the PL.O. as the legitimate represen.tstive of th~ ?ale~Stinians. l'aat wal:! a big change in pc!iey ror Israe:i. and. personally for lYir. Rabin.

''O&lo \"·ali premised on the Pale$· tinians being able tQ control their own house and gife Il!lraei a measur~ of security," 3..'1 I3raeli who has been ~;trongly fer the peat-:a process said. "Oth.erwis~ Rabin would not have started dowr. the road of leaving tile occu~ued territories."

1sraelis know that it is not aasy for Mr. Arafat to deal with Hamas. as an !slamic political mcv~ment. or to '3Uppress its miiitery wing Bu: in the ~:iew cf many, he has not: really made the commitment to try,

Mr. r.rafat nas temporued in hia dealie!.gs with Harnas be.::au.se he fe<.rs polati:ing his society. He has hoped rc m~·:e llamas t'ro:n terror to the po!it1cs M the new Paiestinian entlty.

But he ~as no choice now. If he does rtot act to demonstrate that he ts a reliable parme!', the Z..Ucud wm probably forr1 tbe next gtJvernment of llraeL Ingtead or moving ahead Wlth negf)tiation& that w.ne leading toward a Palestinian state, Mr. Ararat w111 be frozen 1n his role as the rul.ar of Gazs and semi!! !s(}lated ?aleatinhm towna dott1ni t.lte \Vest Bank.

Originator: J-Claude MUGEN ·· RADIO UNAMIR

From : Zouaoui BEN~I 4VC\.. Chief RADIO UNAMI

Date : 22 February 1996


Thursday 22 February 1996: The military should be mobilised to bring peace and security in the country. This remark was made yesterday by the Rwandan President Pasteur BIZIMUNGU at a closing ceremony of a one week seminar for senior military officers. He also urged them to work for the protection of the Rwandan's rights and to be totally committed to the rebuilding of their country.

The seminar covered topics on security, political situation in Rwanda, history, justice, mass mobilisation for national security and reconciliation, causes and consequences of genocide, the refugees' repatriation, and property rights in Rwanda.

The Rwandan Prime Minister has dismissed reports by AMNESTY IHTERKATIONAL that the return of Rwandan refugees in large numbers may result in chaos in Rwanda. He said such reports were intended to hinder the return of refugees, and to hamper the Rwandan Government's efforts in facilitating their return.

The Prime Minister said since the UNHCR and other organisations are working band in band with the Rwandan Government in receiving refugees, and have not mentioned such cases, it is clear testimony that those predicting trouble at the refugees' return, have their own bad intentions. He said the refugees are returning because they realise that their country is safe.

The Rwandan Minister of Justice, Mrs Marthe MtJKAMURENZI, has ~ eMpressed her disatisfaction with the International Tribunal for

Rwanda, in delaying its operations, when it says it lacks evidence against the suspects, while the Rwandan Government bas been providing all possible evidence against them. Minister MUKAMURENZI further said that the Rwandan Government will continue to do everything possible· to provide evidences to the Tribunal.

The Minister of Rehabilitation and Social Integration, Mr. Patrick MAZIMPAKA, yesterday opened a three day seminar to examine the performance of both local and international NGOs in Rwanda. The objective was to study the ways NGOs can collaborate with the Government in executing their duties, and the ways local and international HGOs should work together in development projects.

The Rwandan Minister of Transport, Mr. Charles MORIGANDE, yesterday received the British Ambassador to Rwanda Mrs. Oliver KAYE, with whom he discussed the relations between the two countries, and especially how the United Kingdom can assist the Ministry in improving and telecommunication facilities.

e. Militias of the Gandakoy Patriotic Movement went on the rampage in the city of Gao, E. Mali, attacking the provincial governor's residence. The Gandakoy, who have been deployed against Tuareg rebels in the north were protesting the arrest of Lt Amadu Diallo, their Operations Officer, who is accused of illegally killing Tuaregs.

f. A UNIP rally in Lusaka, Zambia was disrupted by members of the ruling MMD youth wing. Police attempts to separate the rival groups led to a number of injuries.

g. King Letsie III was sworn in again as King of Lesotho as successor to his deceased father, King Moshoeshoe II in a lowkey ceremony in Maseru. This is the second time he is occupying the throne.
