GENERAL 1. (U) AT FIRST LIGHT ON SUNDAY, 5 NOVEMBER 1995, THE RWANDAN PATRIOTIC ARMY (RP A) LAUNCHED AN AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT ON ISLE IWAW A, FIFTEEN KILOMETRES WEST OF THE RWANDAN MAINLAND ON LAC KIVU. THE ISLAND LIES 2 KILOMETRES FROM THE BORDER WITH ZAIRE, AND 4.5 KILOMETRES FROM IJWE ISLAND, IN ZAIRE. THE ISLAND IS 2.5 KILOMETRES LONG, AND 800 METRES WIDE. IT CONSISTS OF A LARGE SOUTHERN LAND MASS, CONNECTED TO A SMALL NORTHERN MASS BY A NARROW ISTHMUS. THE SOUTHERN MASS IS A SINGLE FLAT HILL COVERED WITH HEAVY JUNGLE, AND THE NORTHERN MASS IS DOMINATED BY A 1500 FOOT ELEVATION HILL AND AN OPEN PINE FOREST 2. (U) COLONEL CHARLES NGOGA, THE BRIGADE COMMANDER OF THE RPA'S 211 BRIGADE, SAID THAT HIS TROOPS MADE THE CROSSING AT NIGHT USING THREE HIGH-SPEED PATROL BOATS AND TWO LARGE FISHING BOATS. THE FISHING BOATS WERE TOWED TO A POSITION NEAR THE ISLAND, AND THEN ROWED IN BY THE SOLDIERS. THE RPA USED TWO COMPANIES OF SOLDIERS, OR C APPROXIMATELY 200 MEN_ 3. (U) ACCORDING TO THE RPA BATTALION COMMANDER WHO LED THE OPERATION, THEY KNEW THAT THE EX-FAR HAD PERIMETER DEFENCES CONSISTING OF A BUNKER SYSTEM JUST ABOVE THE VEGETATION LINE AROUND THE SOUTHERN MASS OF ISLE IWAWA. THE NORTHERN MASS HAD A DEFENSIVE POSITION ON THE lliGH GROUND. THE BATTALION COMMANDER SAID THAT THE EX-FAR BELIEVED THAT ANY ATTACK WOULD COME VIA THE NORTHERN EXTENSION CROSSING THE ISTHMUS ON TO THE SOUTHERN MASS OR DIRECTLY AGAINST THE NORTHERN END OF THE SOUTHERN MASS. THERE 1 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED WERE 500 EX-FAR DEFENDING THE' ISLAND. 4. (U) TO AVOID THE EX-FAR POSITIONS ON THE DOMINANT TERRAIN ON THE NORTHERN MASS, THE RPA DECIDED TO ATTACK ON TWO BEACH HEADS FROM THE SOUTH. THE TWO LANDING SITES USED WERE A SMALL BAY JUST WEST OF THE SOUTHERN-MOST TIP OF THE ISLAND, AND A SIMILAR BAY ON THE SOUTHWEST FACE OF THE ISLAND APPROXIMATELY 600 METRES NORTHWEST OF THE FIRST LANDING SITE. 5. (U) THE RPA USED THE TWO LANDING SITES TO BREAK THROUGH THE SOUTHERN END OF THE EX-FAR PERIMETER. THEY EFFECTIVELY SPLIT AND . FLANKED THE EASTERN AND WESTERN DEFENSIVE LINES ALONG THE EDGES OF THE ISLAND. THIS ALLOWED THE RPA TO ROLL UP THE EX-FAR AS THEY MOVED NORTH TO ATTACK THE MAIN DEFENCES ON THE DOMINANT TERRAIN FROM THE REAR. THE ASSAULT PLAN WORKED. THE RPA SURPRISED THE DEFENDERS ON THE SOUTHERN FACE AND IN QUICK BUT CLOSE FIGHTING PUSHED INLAND AND NORTHWARD. MOST OF THE RPA CASUAL TIES OCCURRED IN THIS PHASE. 6. (U) ONCE INTO THE CENTRE OF THE ISLAND, THE RPA ASSAULT MOVED NORTH AGAINST SPORADIC RESISTANCE THAT STRENGTHENED AS THE EX-FAR PULLED BACK ON BOTH FLANKS AND ATTEMPTED TO RE-ORGANIZE FOR A COUNTER-ATTACK. AT THE MID-POINT OF THE SOUTHERN ISLAND, THE EX-FAR MANAGED TO GET A 75 MILLIMETRE RECOILLESS RIFLE INTO THE BATTLE USING HIGH-EXPLOSIVE ANTI-TANK AMMUNITION, BUT THE RP A TOOK THEM OUT AFTER ONLY AFEWROUNDS WERE FIRED. AS THEEX-FARBECAMEMORE DESPERATE, THEY BEGAN SCATTERING ITALIAN TS-50 ANTI-PERSONNEL MINES TO DELAY THE RP A ADVANCE WHILE THEY WITHDREW TO THE MAIN POSITIONS ON THE NORTH PART OF THE ISLAND. THE FIGHTING STABILIZED UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING. c 7. (U) THE RP A CLOSED IN ON THE FINAL DEFENCES OF THE EX-FAR THE NEXT MORNING. THE RPA ASSAULT OVERWHELMED THE DEFENDERS AND SOME 100-PLUS EX-FAR RETREATED WEST ALONG THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE ISLAND AND ENTERED THEWATER. MOST DROWNED OR WERE SHOT AS THEY TRIED TO SWIM THE 4.5 KILOMETRES TO IJWE ISLAND. THE ISLAND WAS DECLARED SECURE ON THE EVENING OF 6 NOVEMBER. THE RPA COUNTED 171 DEAD EX-FAR ON THE ISLAND, NOT INCLUDING THOSE THAT DIED IN THE WATER. THE RPA BELIEVE THAT ANOTHER 200 ESCAPED THE FIRST EVENING OF THE FIGHTING, INCLUDING THE EX-FAR COMMANDER. THE RPALOST FIVE DEAD, AND 18 INJURED. 2 UNCLASSIFIED ------.,"'" UNCLASSIFIED ' 8. (U) ON THE MORNING OF 8 NOVEMBER THE CREW OF AN RPA PATROL BOAT CARRYING BELGIAN JOURNALISTS SPOTTED TWO EX-FAR TRYING TO SWIM TO IJWE ISLAND. THEY ORDERED THEM TO STOP AND TO GET INTO THE PATROL BOAT. WHEN THE EX-FAR REFUSED AND TRIED TO DIVE, THEY WERE SHOT IN THE WATER AND LEFT. 9. (U) WE TOURED THE ISLAND ON 8 NOVEMBER, ACCOMPANIED BY THE UNITED STATES DEFENSE ATTACHE TO THE US EMBASSY IN KIGALI, THE G2 AND G3 OF THE RPA, THE BRIGADE COMMANDER AND AN OFFICER FROM THE VICE-PRESIDENT'S OFFICE. WE FLEW BY UNAMIR HELICOPTER TO GISENYI, WHERE WE WERE PICKED UP BYONE OF THERPA'S NEW 30-FOOT LONG RIGID-. HULL INFLATABLE BOATS. THE BOAT IS ARMED, EQUIPPED WITH RADAR AND IS POWERED BY TWO 200-HORSEPOWER OUTBOARD ENGINES. WE MADE THE 25 ~ KILOMETRE TRIP TO THE ISLAND IN 20 MINUTES. 10. (U) WE CIRCLED THE ISLAND ONCE, WHICH GAVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE AND PHOTOGRAPH THE DEFENSIVE WORKS ON THE SHORELINE. WE ALSO OBSERVED WHAT APPEARED TO BE AN EX-FAR TRAINING AREA WE LANDED ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE ISLAND, AT THE NARROWEST POINT OF THE ISTHMUS. 11. (U) AT THE LANDING SITE WERE AN ARRAY OF CAPTURED EX-FAR WEAPONS. THEY INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING; A TWO 12. 7MM TRIPOD-MOUNTED HEAVY MACHINE GUNS~ B. ONE 75MM RECOILLESS RIFLE; C. FIVE G3 7.62MM RIFLES; D. ONE F AL 7.62MM RIFLE; E. ONE SG542 RIFLE; AND c F. TWO BELGIAN FN 7.62MM GENERAL PURPOSE MACHINE GUNS. 12. (U) WE OBSERVED 15 PRISONERS AT THE BEACH. THEY APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD HEALTH, AND SEEMED TO ALL BE IN THEIR MIDDLE TO LATE TEENS. 13. (U) WE THEN MOVED UP INTO THE VILLAGE WERE WE WERE SHOWN A LARGE NUMBER OF CLOTH SACKS. THEY CONTAINED WEAPONS COMPO.N'ENTS, MOST STILL IN THE ORIGINAL POLYETHYLENE PLASTIC WRAPPING, AND COVERED IN COSMOLINE. THESE WEAPONS HAD NEVER BEEN ASSEMBLED, LET ALONE USED. WE FOUND COMPONENTS OF THIRTY-SEVEN R-4 ASSAULT RIFLES. OF PARTICULAR INTEREST, THERE WERE NO SERIAL NUMBERS OF ANY SORT ON 3 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED THE BARRELS OR RECEIVERS. 14. (U) AT THIS SITE WE FOUND COMPONENTS OF BETWEEN TWENTY MTI TIDRTY FN 7.62MM GENERAL PURPOSE MACIDNE GUNS (GPMG). THESE COMPONENTS INCLUDED FEEDER PLATES AND RECEIVER COVERS. WE DID NOT OBSERVE ANY BARRELS OR OTHER GPMG PARTS THAT NORMALLY CARRY SERIAL NUMBERS. WE DID NOT FIND ENOUGH COMPONENTS TO ASSEMBLE A FULL WEAPON, WHICH LEADS US TO SUSPECT THAT THERE MAY BE MORE WEAPONS CACHES ON THE ISLAND. OTHER ITEMS FOUND AT TillS SITE INCLUDE: A THIRTY IT ALlAN TS-50 ANTI-PERSONNEL MINES; B. SEVERAL ANTI-TANK MINE FUSES; C. A CARRYING CASE FOR AN ANTI-TANK MINE; D. SEVERAL LARGE SACKS OF MILITARY TNT, (IN POOR CONDITION); E. A ROLL OF EXPLOSIVE DET CORD; AND F. ONE R-4 ASSAULT RIFLE. 15. (U) WE THEN TOURED THE NORTHERN MASS OF THE ISLAND. DURING THE TOUR OF THE NORTHERN PART OF IWAWA, WE OBSERVED APPROXIMATELY 15 BODIES OF DEAD MALES IN THEIR LATE TEENS AND TWENTIES. WE ALSO OBSERVED A SITE WHERE THE 75MM RECOILLESS RIFLE HAD BEEN FIRED SEVERAL TIMES. WE TOURED THE DEFENSIVE POSITION ON THE HIGH GROUND ON THE NORTHERN MASS. WE SAW SEVERAL BUNKERS AND TRENCHES, AN EMPTY CARRYING CASE FORTS-50 ANTI-PERSONNEL MINES, AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF AMMUNITION. THE AREA WAS MINED AND BOOBY-TRAPPED, SO WE STAYED ON THE TRAILS AND DID NOT DISTURB ANYTHING. MOST OF THE DEAD WE SAW ON THE NORTHERN PART OF IWAWA WERE AT THIS SITE. ,..., 16. (U) WE THEN EMBARKED ON A TOUR OF THE SOUTHERN MASS OF THE ~ ISLAND. WE SAW AT LEAST FIFTEEN DEAD ON THIS TOUR, TEN OF THEM SCATTERED ON A SMALL SPORTS FIELD. WE SAW THE LANDING SITES, WE EXAMINED ONE OF THE FISHING BOATS USED TO CARRY TROOPS, AND WE SAW A BUILDING WHERE BAGS OF BEANS WERE STOCKPILED. WE OBSERVED A LARGE NlJMBER OF CAPTURED EX-FAR DOCUMENTS, MAPS, AND SKETCHES. WE FOUND SOME ANTI-RPF PROPAGANDA WE THEN RETURNED TO THE VILLAGE AT THE ISTHMUS. 17. (U) AS WE APPROACHED THE VILLAGE, WE HEARD A SMALL EXPLOSION. A YOUNG RPA SOLDIER HAD STEPPED ON AN ANTI-PERSONNEL MINE LESS THAN A 4 UNCLASSIFIED ( ' UNCLASSIFIED ' METRE FROM THE SITE ON THE BEACH WHERE SOME OF THE CAPTURED WEAPONS WERE DISPLAYED, AN AREA \VIffiRE WE HAD SPENT CONSIDERABLE TIME RECORDING SERIAL NUMBERS. THE SOLDIER WAS EVACUATED BY SPEED BOAT TO HOSPITAL IN KIBUYE. WE RETURNED TO GISENYI SOON AFTER. ON FRIDAY, 10 NOVEMBER, THE ISLAND WAS VISITED BY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION OF INQUIRY INTO THE FLOW OF ARMS. WHILE THEY WERE TOURING THE ISLAND, ONE OF THEIR RP A ESCORTS HAD A FOOT BLOWN OFF WHEN HE STEPPED ON AN ANTI-PERSONNEL MINE. BECAUSE OF THE DANGER POSED BY MINES, THE NATIONAL DE-MINING OFFICE IN KIGALI IS ASSISTING THE RPA IN CLEARING THE ISLAND. UNAMIR G2 COMMENT. ~ 18. (U) WE BELIEVE THAT THE EX-FAR HAD BEEN OCCUPYING ISLE IW AWA AS A TRAINING AND STAGING BASE FOR INFILTRATIONS INTO KIBUYE PREFECTURE. ISLE IW AWA WAS A GOOD CHOICE, BECAUSE IT CUT 25 PERCENT OFF THE DISTANCE BETWEEN IJWE ISLAND AND THE COAST OF RWANDA THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO CONDUCT TRAINING AND PREPARATIONS FOR OPERATIONS WITHOUT BEING OBSERVED BY ZAIRIAN AUTHORITIES OR ANYONE ELSE. IT ALSO GAVE THEM THE ABILITY TO TRUTHFULLY SAY THAT THEY WERE OCCUPYING SOME RWANDAN TERRITORY, WHICH MAY HAVE IMPORTANT MORALE CONSEQUENCES. 19. (U) WE FOUND NO REASON TO DISPUTE THE RP A CLAIM THAT THEY KILLED 171 EX-FAR ON THE ISLAND. WE DIRECTLY OBSERVED AT LEAST THIRTY BODIES, AND WE DID NOT STRAY OFF THE BEATEN PATHS BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF MINES AND BOOBY-TRAPS. WE DID, AT TIMES, SMELL MORE DEAD BODIES, BUT THEY COULD NOT BE OBSERVED FROM THE TRAIL. THE BODIES SEEN IN THE SOUTHERN MASS OF THE ISLAND WERE AT A MORE ADVANCED " STAGE OF DECOMPOSITION, INCLUDING BLOATING AND INSECT INFESTATION, ~ THAN THE BODIES AT THE NORTHERN ISLAND MASS. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS AS REPORTED BY THE RPA. OF THE THIRTY BODIES WE OBSERVED, WE ONLY SAW THREE IN UNIFORM, BUT WE WOULD EXPECT THIS, AS THE EX-FAR IS AN INSURGENT ARMY. WE DID NOT SEE ANY WEAPONS WITH THE BODIES, BUT TO BE HONEST, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN SUSPICIOUS IF WE HAD. PART OF THE PROCESS OF SECURING THE BATTLEFIELD IS REMOVING ALL THE WEAPONS SO THAT ANY ENEMY THAT HAD MANAGED TO EVADE CAPTURE CANNOT USE THEM AGAINST YOUR OWN TROOPS. WE HAVE NO WAY OF ESTIMATING THE NUMBER THAT DIED TRYING TO SWIM TO IJWE ISLAND, BUT DO NOT EXPECT IT TO BE IN EXCESS OF ONE HUNDRED. 5 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED ' 20. (U) THIS ACTION, COUPLED WITH THE EXISTENCE OF NEW ARMED SPEEDBOATS ON LAC KIVU, SHOULD HAVE THE BENEFICIAL EFFECT OF REDUCING THE INCIDENTS OF INFll.. TRATION INTO KIBUYE PREFECTURE, WHICH SHOULD IN TURN REDUCE THE NUMBER OF MINES BEING LAID IN THAT AREA 21. (U) AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULTS ARE AMONG THE MOST DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS OF ALL MILITARY OPERATIONS. THE"ONLY OPERATION MORE DIFFICULT OR DANGEROUS MIGHT BE THE WITHDRAWAL IN CONTACT~ WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THE EX-FAR ENDED UP TRYING TO DO. THE RP AHAVE ACHIEVED A GREAT VICTORY HERE, AND THEY ARE VERY PROUD OF IT. 22. (U) THE LAYOUT OF THE DEFENCES ON ISLE IWAWA GIVES SOME CLUES INTO THE QUALITY OF THE EX-FAR TRAINING. THE GENERAL IMPRESSION WAS Q THAT THE EX-FAR KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO, BUT DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT. THE TRENCHES WERE POORLY CONSTRUCTED, AND ARRANGED IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THIS VIOLATES ONE OF THE PRINCIPLES OF DEFENCE - THAT IT MUST HAVE DEPTH. THE BUNKERS DID NOT HAVE REAR-WARD FACING FIRING PORTS, VIOLATING THE PRINCIPLE OF ALL-ROUND DEFENCE. THE TRENCHES AND BUNKERS WERE ISOLATED, AND DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE INTERLOCKING ARCS OF FIRE. THE APPROACHES TO THE TRENCHES WERE FROM THE Hll..LSIDE BEHIND THEM. THE DAMAGE TO THE VEGETATION CREATED A VERY CLEAR TRAll.. THAT EXPOSED THE LOCATION OF THE TRENCH AT THE END OF IT. FURTHERMORE, THE COMMANDER OF THE ISLAND GARRISON APPEARS TO HAVE FLED ON THE FIRST NIGHT OF THE FIGHTING, TAKING TWO HUNDRED OF HIS SOLDIERS WITH HIM. 23. (U) COMBAT IS A ZERO-SUM GAME. THE GREATER THE VICTORY FOR ONE SIDE, THE WORSE THE DEFEAT FOR THE OTHER THIS DEFEAT OF THE EX-FAR MUST BE TREMENDOUSLY HUMll..IATING FOR THEM. THE RP A HAS PROVEN . AGAIN THAT THEY ARE A SUPERIOR FIGHTING FORCE. WE BELIEVE THAT THE C EX-FAR Wll..L LIKELY FEEL COMPELLED TO DO SOMETHING TO RESPOND. AS THEY HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT THEY LACK THE TRAINING FOR CONVENTIONAL MILITARY OPERATIONS, THEY ARE UNLIKELY TO INVADE RWANDA. THEY Wll..L PLAY TO THEIR STRENGTH, WHICH IS INSURGENT WARFARE. WE EXPECT THEM TO INCREASE THE PRESSURE ON CYANGUGU, GISENYI, AND RUHENGERI PREFECTURES. THEY WILL LIKELY DO THIS QUICKLY, TO TRY AND RESTORE THE CONFIDENCE OF THEIR OWN SOLDIERS AND THE REFUGEES LIVING IN THE CAMPS. THEY WILL ALSO WANT TO BLUNT THE INCREASE IN MORALE THAT THE RPA Wll..L GET AS A RESULT OF THIS VICTORY. 6 UNcLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED 24. (U) THIS ACTION HAS ALSO PROVIDED' US WITH SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN ELUDING US UNTIL NOW- HARD EVIDENCE OF WEAPONS BEING MADE AVAILABLE TO THE EX-FAR WE HAVE RECEIVED INTELLIGENCE REPORTS ON THE SUBJECT, BUT INTELLIGENCE REPORTING IS NOT NORMALLY IN A FO}Th1 USABLE AS EVIDENCE. USING THE SERIAL NUMBERS WE OBTAINED, WE , SHOULD BE ABLE TO TRACE THE MANUFACTURE AND SALES RECORD O.F SOME OF THE ARMS THAT WERE CAPTURED. TWO OF THE CAPTURED G3s WERE ONE WEAPON APART IN MANUFACTURING SEQUENCE. FURTHERMORE, THE WEAPONS COMPONENTS WE SAW WERE STILL IN THE MANUFACTlJRER' S ORIGINAL PACKING. THIS REMOVES ANY DOUBT THAT THE EX-FARHAVE BEEN RECEIVING WEAPONS.

Pasteur Bizimungu, chaired yesterday a Cabinet meeting which endorsed decisions of three previous meetings held on 2, 20 and 22 September 1995. The Friday meeting also examined the licensing of a new air transport company, Rwanda Express Airline, the appointment of advisors for the Prime Minister's Office, refonns concerning Rwanda's embassies abroad and the criteria for the choice of national heroes. The Vice-President and Minister of Defence, Major-General Paul Kagame, was yesterday guest of honour at a ceremony held at Hotel des Diplomates to launch officially the Anny Magazine, INGABO. The Vice-President urged journalists to avoid divisionism and stressed that freedom of the press must go hand in hand with a high sense of responsibility. Major-General Kagame said the INGABO Magazine should be a torch bearer for the country and a forum for an exchange of ideas between the military and the civilians. The ceremony was also attended by the Chief of Staff of Gendarmerie, Col. Ndibwami, the Directeur de Cabinet of the Minister of Infonnation, Mr. Aloys Munyangaju and the Director of ORINFOR, Maj. Wilson Rutayisire, who, in an earlier ceremony, II", had officiated at the closing of a seminar for Radio Rwanda English journalists, conducted by two BBC .., journalists at CARE International. The Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Mr. Ngirabanzi, returned yesterday from a visit to Belgium, with promises of an aid package totalling 130 million Rwandese francs. The French community in Belgium pledged 50 million Rwandese francs, while the Francophonie central organisation, Association pour Ia Cooperation Culturelle et Technique (ACCT), promised to assist education in Mutara region with 80 million Rwandese francs. Meanwhile, the World Day of Education was celebrated yesterday under the theme "tolerance peace, justice and develo)lllleUt". The Ministry of Rehabilitation and Social Integration is holding a preparatory meeting for a forthcoming seminar in Gisenyi which will focus on cooperation among the various bodies involved in the process of rehabilitation and social integration. The seminar will bring together officials of 15 different Ministries and NGOs that are active in Rwanda's rehabilitation, in a bid to enhance their cooperation. President Moi's reported opposition to the work in Kenya of the International Tribunal for Rw?.nda has outraged Amnesty International and the US-based Human Rights Watch. The latter has called for econm.nic sanctions against Kenya if Moi maintains his stand. President Bizimungu has warned that sucn a stand could cause chaos in this region. The Prosecutor of the International Tribunal for Rwanda has been reported as saying that he was shocked by President Moi's statement, - 2 - especially in the light of the fact that Kenya had endorsed Resolution 955 which set up the tenns of the International Tribunal for Rwanda. He indicated that most of the suspects wanted for involvement in last year's gen?cide are now residing in Kenya. The Burundi opposition parties have criticised their Head of State, President Ntibantunganya, for not having cancelled his trip to Kenya in view of the Kenyan position. Abroad The Tanzanian Minister of Health has threatened to sack the 4 000 doctors on strike since Monday. The strike has paralysed most hospitals in the country, especially the Capital's major hospital at Muhimbiri. While President Do Santos of Angola and his arch-rival, UNITA President Savimbi, get closer to peace, the Government is faced with increased threats from the secessionist Front for the Liberation of Cabinda Enclave (FLEC). In another development, UNITA's Savimbi was received in France by Q President Chirac who promised support for Angola. cc: FC LO ED CCPO DFC UNESCO Spokesman CO M.aliCoy MPAO co fudbatt PA CO GbanBatt CPO CO MalawiCoy SASRSG CO NiCoy SPAO co SenBatt HAO Foree Engineer Coy LA MILOBS PO UNREO CIVPOL WHO CAO UNICEF CISS UNDP G2 FAO FORCE PM WFP CO UNAMIR MP Coy UNHCR CSO/ASC UNHCHR cos FMO Tribunal futemat.

The UN flight will depart Nairobi at 0715 hrs, Nairobi time to arrive in Kigali at 0800 hrs. A helicopter will bring you to Nsinda. Journalists are requested to RSVP with Lt{N) Page today or tomorrow. On Thursday, October 5 1995, a ceremony will be held to mark the opening of the permanent and temporary detention centres at Nsinda, Ontracom and Nyanza. The ceremonies will take place at the Nsinda permanent detention centre located 60 km east of Kigali in Kibungo Prefecture. The opening will be conducted by the President of Rwanda, Mr Pasteur Bizimungu. It will be attended by the Minister of Justice, the UNAMIR SRSG, Ambassador Sbaharyar Khan~ the UNAMIR Force Commander, Maj. -Gen. Guy Tousignant as well as representatives from the ICRC and UNDP. Heads of UN agencies~ missions and NGO's will be present along with other Rwandan government officials. Extensions to the existing detention centres at Nsinda and Nyanza and the building of the temporary detention centre at Ontracom were carried out by a joint effort involving UNAMIR, ICRC, UNDP and the Rwandan Government. This was necessary as the overcrowding situation in Rwanda's prisons have resulted in unhygenic conditions which cause disease and death amongst the prisoners. At some prisons there are up to four inmates per square metre causing a real humanitarian crisis. The capacity of the Nsinda detention centre with the new extension will be 5, 000 people. UNAMIR has worked together closely with the ICRC and UNDP to help alleviate the prison conditions in Rwanda. The UNAMIR Force Engineering Company levelled the ground at Nsinda with bulldozers, improved the road leading from the main road to the gate, provided two generators for power and contributed personnel whose expertise assisted in the coordination of the project. The Nyanza extension benefitted from this expertise and will hold an additional 1200 prisoners. At the Ontracom temporary detention site, the llNA~DR Force Engineering Company provided and set up barbed concertina \\ire fencing, constructed sentry posts, provided electrification for the centre, levelled the ground with bulldozers, contributed to the digging of latrines and contributed personnel whose expertise aided in the coordination of the project.
