(28 May 1994) Rebels of the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) embraced fellow members of the Tutsi minority tribe who had been taken from Kigali on U.N. convoys on Friday (27/5). Well-dressed, fairly clean and cheerful, a total of 240 refugees, virtually all of them Tutsis, had escaped machete-wielding gangs who killed countless numbers of their fellow Tutsis in the past seven weeks.
