Abstract
This press release from Human Rights Watch calls on the international community, and in particular France, to demand the restoration of telephone communications. He also draws attention to the growing tensions on the one hand between Rwandans and Burundian refugees, and on the other hand between the Hutu and Tutsi of these communities, in the province of Butare, where the prefect had been replaced by a hard-line military official, "suggest[ing] that maintaining peace is not an objective of the authorities".
