21 May 1994

The UN Secretary-General transfers his special representative to Rwanda, Jacques Roger Booh-Booh, from Kigali to Nairobi. He is supposed to liaise with regional leaders in East and Central Africa to coordinate the activities of the expanded UNAMIR force in Rwanda. The transfer is seen as related to RPF dissatisfaction with Booh-Booh. The RPF accused Booh-Booh of taking sides in the on-going conflict in Rwanda by supporting the Rwandan Government and stalling the establishment of the broad-based government. He is accused of accepting the CDR party into the proposed government, contrary to the Arusha Peace Agreement. New Zealand’s representative on the UN Security Council condemns member countries of the Council for allowing the Rwanda Interim Government to be represented on the Council. The New Zealand representative refuses to meet Interim Government Foreign Minister Jérôme Bicamumpaka and his colleagues, who are in New York to seek support from the international community.
