US - Zaire

NPR's Tom Gjelten reports on the latest international efforts to organize an emergency relief operation for one million Rwandan refugees stranded by the fighting in eastern Zaire. The Clinton administration is studying a French proposal for a multinational force that would protect the refugees and help them return safely to Rwanda. But there are many obstacles to overcome, not the least of which is the Hutu refugees' fear of returning to Tutsi-controlled Rwanda.
