More French forces move into western Rwanda through Goma and Bukavu. More than 30,000 refugees in the RPF-controlled area of Ndera, 20 kilometers east of Kigali, hold a demonstration demanding the immediate withdrawal of French troops from Rwanda. Eighteen of the demonstrators write a letter to French President Francois Mitterrand condemning his sending of troops to Rwanda. Colonel Frank Mugambage tells foreign journalists at a press conference in Kigali that RPF forces have no opposition to the French troops in Rwanda so long as they adhere to their disclosed humanitarian mission. He stresses that if the French intervene in the ongoing military conflict, RPF forces will resist them.
