Zaire to expel 1 million Rwandans

Kinshasa - Zaire announced a package of measures to implement a campaign to send back a million Rwandan refugees through progressive camp closures. A government statement, which accused a leading Rwandan refugee group and certain "agents" of humanitarian organisations of hampering the campaign, said economic and social activities would be shut down in camps to persuade the refugees to leave.
