 | | Ever since 1797, under the rule of Yuhi IV Gahindiro, Rwandan Tutsis have emigrated to the Congo (Zaire), settling in Kakamba, in the plain of Ruzizi and in the higher regions (Mulengue hills), because of the climate and to feed their cattle. |
 | | There is a conflict of interests, since Rwanda is only interested in trying those allegedly responsible for acts of genocide, while Zaire is seeking reconciliation"; (d) bitterness at seeing refugees, including criminals, getting preferential treatment in food, health and other living conditions; (e) an increase in the cost of living and environmental devastation. |
 | | In any event, the participation of the President of Rwanda in the Presidential Conference in Cairo is a promising sign, as too is his commitment to create conditions which would ensure security, the recovery of property and political participation for those who return. |
