For Immediate Release April 22, 1995

STATEMENT BY THE PRESS SECRETARY ON VIOLENCE IN RWANDA

The Administration is deeply concerned about the continued violence at the camps for the internally displaced in southwestern Rwanda. The recent killings and violence at these camps jeopardizes the effort towards peace and reconciliation.

Assistant Secretary for African Affairs George Moose, U.S. Army Gen. Heflebower and Ambassador Townsend Friedman, special coordinator for Rwanda, will arrive in Rwanda Monday in a previously planned trip. The future of the camps and the violence will be high on their agenda in their meetings with the Rwandan leadership.
