		The plane carrying the President of Rwanda Jeve’nal Habyarimana and Cyprien Ntaryamira the president of Burundi was shot down as it approached Kigali airport in Rwanda to land.

	BBC NEWS \| Africa \| Rwanda's mystery that won't go away
		When the Rwandan president's Mystere Falcon executive jet was blown out of the skies over Kigali airport at about 2000 local time on 6 April 1994, it was the beginning of a bloody nightmare for Rwanda.
		A British expert on the Rwandan genocide, Linda Melvern, author of the investigative study Conspiracy to Murder, says she is surprised at the lack of convincing new evidence in the French judge's allegations given that, at the time of the shooting down of the plane, France had very close relationships in the region.
		Ms Melvern said the evidence the French judge had presented alleging President Kagame's involvement in the murder of his predecessor was very sparse, and that some of it, concerning the alleged anti-aircraft missiles used to down the presidential jet, had already been rejected by a French Parliamentary enquiry.

	PRESIDENT OF RWANDA OUTLINES CONDITIONS FOR WITHDRAWAL OF FORCES FROM DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO
		President Paul Kagame of Rwanda called upon the Security Council this morning to help secure peace in the Great Lakes region and expressed his readiness to take advantage of the changed leadership in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
		In a report he would submit to the Council, he said he would propose a revised concept of operations for MONUC’s deployment. MONUC had already taken some initial steps, and if the Council approved the revised concept, it would be able to help the parties further to draw back their forces from the confrontation line.
		It was his profound hope that the resolution of the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo would bring peace to the entire region and particularly to the people of Rwanda. He urged the Council and every country in the region to do everything possible to seize the new opportunity that had presented itself.

		The Government of Rwanda has analyzed these turbulent relations and came to the conclusion that it serves no useful purpose to maintain diplomatic relations with the Government of France, considering that it continues to relentlessly pursue the objective of destroying it, and Rwanda as a whole.
		French nationals residing in Rwanda do however have all the guaranties that their stay in Rwanda willl never be disturbed, unless they get mixed up in the politics of their country’s government antagonizing Rwanda.

		This situation was mirrored in neighbouring Burundi where (as in Rwanda before the advent of colonialism) the mainly pastoral Tutsis and agricultural Hutus had lived side by side peacefully and intermarried.
		France was Rwanda’s biggest supplier of arms and sent French troops into Rwanda in 1990 to repel the RPF, which had invaded from Uganda.
