Zaire

Robert talks with NPR's Ann Cooper, who's in the Rwandan capital of Kigali, about the uncertainty surrounding the number and whereabouts of the refugees who remain stranded in Zaire. Relief groups generally agree that there are several hundred thousand people still in need of food and water, but they don't really know how many there are, or where they are. One United Nations agency today said it has information that at least one hundred thousand refugees are on the move towards Goma, Zaire, the site of last weekend's mass return to Rwanda of approximately a half-million people.
