2 June 1994

Killings take place in Tumba Commune. The Interim Government in Kigali makes arrangements to purchase 40,000 hand grenades and 300,000 rounds of ammunition from Egypt worth 765,000 US dollars. RPF forces liberate the town of Kabgayi in Gitarama Prefecture allowing for the rescue of hundreds of survivors. Most survivors are evacuated to Bugesera in the east because the genocide continues in southern parts of the country. Representatives of the RPF and Government forces meet for the second time this week at UNAMIR headquarters in Kigali for talks aimed at reaching a ceasefire. The RPF representative, Colonel Frank Mugambage, reports that the conditions for ceasefire talks are being violated because people are still being killed in Government-controlled areas and Radio Rwanda and RTLM continue to broadcast anti-Tutsi propaganda.
