Rwanda’s capital besieged

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.

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.

Berlin brigade gives farewell parade
BERLIN (AP) — The U.S. Army’s elite Berlin
Brigade gave a parade of farewell on Monday at
the same barracks where American soldiers raised
the Stars and Stripes over a newly liberated city
49 years ago.
“The Americans came and freed us from a total
itarian system,” Mayor Eberhard Diepgen said.
“They fed us. 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.
