"Rwanda: Security Deteriorating", Excerpt from Central Intelligence Agency, National Intelligence Daily, 8 April 1994 (Freedom of Information Act release)

CIA analysts report to top U.S. officials that "Hutu security elements from the Presidential Guard, gendarmerie, and military yesterday killed several government officials-including the Prime Minister"; "killed numerous Tutsi civilians in Kigali"; and "killed two Belgian civilians and 10 of the 450 Belgian UN troops". Their report adds "what remains of Rwanda's civilian leadership and moderate senior military officers appear unable to restore order", suggesting the hardliners have killed or put-down opposition and are pre-dominant.

United Nations Security Council, "Statement by the President of the Security Council", S/PRST/1994/16, 7 April 1994 (Accessed at www.un.org)

Colin Keating, New Zealand's Ambassador to the United Nations, sat as President of the UN Security Council during April 1994. Keating's statement reports the deaths of the presidents, "the deaths of Government leaders, many civilians and at least ten Belgian peacekeepers", and strongly condemns these horrific attacks and their perpetrators." Specifically identifying the parties involved, the President's statement urges "the Rwandese security forces and military and paramilitary units to put an end to these attacks and to cooperate fully with UNAMIR", the UN mission in Rwanda.

During his term, Keating pressed hard for a UN response on Rwanda, arguing early to increase the strength of UNAMIR (Note 4) and urging a Security Council declaration of "genocide". His efforts were in vain; the Council's permanent members-the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China-succeeded in suppressing any Security Council initiatives.

One of society’s less visible but looming issues is men’s health, isolation, loneliness and depression. In this issue of Update, Ginny Brink suggests that we may find the makings of a solution in the uniquely Australian concept – Men’s Sheds.   [Moins]
