WORLD IN BRIEF : RWANDA : Relief Flight Lands at Kigali Airport

The first U.N. relief flight in weeks landed at Kigali airport as efforts were stepped up to forge a cease-fire between victorious Rwandan rebels and remaining government forces. The Canadian military transport plane flew to the Rwandan capital from Nairobi, Kenya, with supplies and troop reinforcements for the small U.N. contingent that has battled for weeks to save people from slaughter. “You are welcome,” Maj. Gen. Romeo Dallaire, commander of U.N. forces in Rwanda, told arriving peacekeepers from Ghana. The airport had been closed since it came under mortar fire in early June.
