PENBERTHY GOLF RANGE Page 6 Tuesday • July 5, 1994 Rwanda’s capital besieged We Thursd middle Rebels make more gains but may face fight with French Army headquarters seized GISENYI, Rwanda (AP) — Tutsi rebels tightened their grip on the capital and another city Monday, but were headed for a showdown with French troops who stand in their path in south ern Rwanda. After a three-month fight, the rebel Rwandan Patriotic Front seized control of most of Kigali, the capital, and freed thousands of ethnic Tutsis who had been living in terror of government- trained Hutu militias. A spokesman for the small U.N. peacekeeping mission in Rwanda said the rebels had overrun the Defense Ministry, army headquarters and Radio Rwanda, which had incited mas sacres of Tutsis by civilian militi amen with its broadcasts of eth nic hate messages. “They were jubilant,” spokesman Maj. Jean-Guy Plante said of the more than 8,000 Tutsis civilians freed from refuges in churches and a hotel. The fate of government troops who had been holding out in Kigali was not immedi ately known, Plante said. The rebels already control two-thirds of the country, mainly in the northeast and southeast, and were advancing on the re maining government-held areas. They appeared to have taken Butare, about 80 miles south west of the capital, said French military commanders from their post in the western town of Gisenyi. But it was unclear how much farther the rebels could push their offensive without engag ing the French, who have sworn to protect Rwandans in a safety zone in the west and southwest until a larger U.N. mission could arrive. Trying to avoid a confronta tion, the French withdrew Sun day from Butare as rebels ap proached. But they vowed Mon day to stand and fight if rebels attempt military action beyond Gikongoro, some 15 miles west of Butare. Two French Foreign Legion companies were on their way to reinforce about 150 French Rebels besieging Rwanda’s capital of Kigali pushed into the city’s center Monday, capturing army headquarters. After a skirmish with French forces Sunday, rebels warned there will be further fighting if French troops insist on instituting a “safe zone" for refugees near Butare. Chancell awards f AP/TracieTso troops based in Gikongoro. There are an estimated 2,000 rebels in the area. France arrived in Rwanda on June 24, authorized by the U.N. Security Council to mount a hu manitarian operation to halt the massacres that have claimed an estimated 200,000 lives since April 6 — mostly minority Tutsis. Rebels objected to the French mission. In the past France has supported the Hutu army and its militias, who have been respon sible for most of the killings. The French saved the Hutu government in 1990 by thwart ing a rebel offensive. Rebels said France’s presence now would only get in their way again. French commanders told the Security Council on Saturday that they would have to set up a no fight zone to protect civilians in the only remaining government- controlled area of the country. If French troops defend the security zone, they could cut off rebel columns advancing on the last third of the country still in government hands. French and rebel troops al ready have clashed in the area near the proposed security zone. A firefight broke out Sunday near Gikongoro as French para troopers were evacuating 270 civilians from the path of the rebel assault on Butare. “If the rebels comes here and threaten the population, we will shoot at the rebels without any hesitation,” said French military spokesman Col. Didier Thibaut in Gikongoro. Rebels returned the threat. “We want to avoid any con frontation, but if the French get between us and the killers, we anticipate trouble,” James Rwego, rebel representative in Brussels, told The Associated FVess by phone.

They protected us. They built a new future together with us and for that we should thank them.” Three low-flying Bell UH-1H helicopters trailed red, white and blue smoke past the re viewing stand and lone soldiers standing at salute on their skids. Vintage World War II howitzers blasted out a 50-gun salute to the individual U.S. states in a dress rehearsal for the July 12 visit of President Clinton, who will deactivate the brigade. On Monday, U.S. Ambassador Richard Hol brooke reminded the crowd of about 5,000 that the Army’s 2nd Armored Division raised the United States flag on July 4, 1945, outside the old radio and telephone factory that became Mc Nair Barracks.
