Description
Soldiers from the second United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR II) standing among the debris in the Kibeho refugee camp after the brutal massacre of over 2,000 civilians by the Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA). The refugee camp at Kibeho was administered by the UN and at one time held an estimated 120,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) fleeing the genocide of the civil war between Rwanda's two tribal groups, the Tutsi and Hutu. The UN Deputy Force Commander from Ghana, in the grey uniform, using a member of the Zambian battalion to translate his message, tells the IDP's to go to trucks where they could safely leave the camp.
