Kibeho

Towards 9:30 a.m. on 22 April 1995, Internally Displaced Persons panicked while trying to flee from Rwandan Patriotic Army soldiers' gunfire, breaking down the entrance barrier to the UN peacekeepers camp. UNAMIR (UN Assistance Mission in Rwanda) soldiers desperately tried to prevent a pending massacre without success while RPA soldiers invaded the compound's parking lot shooting. When they withdrew, 38 IDPs lay dead from suffocation and 200 had been wounded; most of the victims were children.

Vers 9:30 du matin le 22/04/95 des IDPs pris de panique et fuyant les tirs de l'APR cassent la barrière d'entrée du camp de l'ONU. Des soldats de l'UNAMIR tentent désespèrement de les en empêcher mais en vain. Ils vont envahir le parking du compound et quand ils vont se retirer il laisseront derrière eux plus de 200 blessés et 38 morts par étouffement. La majorité seront des enfants.
