Radio Uganda reports that Lake Victoria is awash with the bodies of genocide victims from Rwanda. UN Under Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Hoff Hernan says a task force will be set up composed of as many countries as possible. Some will provide logistics and others troops to deploy to Rwanda. The RPF categorically opposes the deployment of any UN Peacekeeping Force in Rwanda, arguing that the appropriate time for the UN force to have intervened was three weeks ago when the UN had a presence in Kigali but failed to protect civilians. The RPF also points out that anyone who was a potential victim has either died or fled the country – there are no people for the UN to protect. Pope John Paul II issues a strong condemnation of the genocidal slaughter in Rwanda.
