WORLD NEWS TREND

This September 1994 cable, from Undersecretary for African Affairs George Moose to Secretary of State Warren Christopher shows the U.S. State Department was fully aware of a UNHCR investigative team that discovered that the Rwandan Patriotic Army and “civilian surrogates” were killing at least 10,000 civilians a month in July and August of 1994. The UNHCR team also discovered that the Government of Rwanda was aware of the massacres. The UNHCR planned to make the report public and Secretary General Ghali planned to brief the Security Council on the matter.
