  • An unidentified journalist states that the CDR should be allowed to participate in the transitional government. Ruggiu then reports that the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF)'s Radio Muhabura is waging a war of disinformation and blaming the CDR and MDR for crimes committed in the demilitarized zone. Rucogoza follows with a report about the student demonstrations at the Faculty of Law in Kigali. He interviews two students, Viateur Kamali and Félix Aimable Mujyambere who deny the notion that the demonstrations have a political background. Rucogoza then interviews Dr. Jean Gakwaya, Dean of the Faculty of Law at Kigali, who is of the opinion that the crisis at the university is linked to the current political and socio-economic troubles prevalent throughout Rwanda. Ruggiu then implies that the Belgians are "blackmailing" Rwanda. A conversation between Ruggiu and Gahigi follows. They discuss the RPF's "infiltration" plots, the fact that the "enemy is known" and the RPF's unwillingness to share power. Their conversation is interspersed with reports that a certain Jean Ndamiye's house is under attack in Kiyovu. Mr. Katumba's death is mentioned as well as an incident that took place in Karago. At one point Ruggiu muses about why "some MRND and CDR militants are regularly attacked." Towards the end of the cassette Kantano comes on to report that Mr. Niyongira in Muyira apparently plotted against an MP Muhutu. Kantano hopes that the people of Muyira are listening. Rucogoza and Mbilizi end the tape with the following comments: 1) Should General Dallaire continue as commander of the UNAMIR? 2) the RPF has recruited 13 students out of Nyanza. 3) The RPF has no right to prevent the CDR from participation in the transitional parliament.
