5,000 Rwandans Trek Toward Border Town

Thousands of Rwandan refugees reached the border town of Goma after new rebel attacks on Hutu militias broke their hold over the refugees. The 5,000 road-weary refugees followed Hutu militias deeper into Zaire when rebels attacked two weeks ago. But when rebels challenged the Hutu militias at Walikale, 80 miles west of Goma, the fighters fled west and the refugees fled east, toward home. Meanwhile, impatient with indecision on the refugee crisis in Central Africa, Canada proposed that a military headquarters for relief operations be set up in neighboring Uganda.
