PRESENT THE AIRPORT IS STILL OPEN AND UNDER
FRENCH-BELGIAN CONTROL. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO SIGNAL
THAT THE UN IS NEARING A DECISION BECAUSE RELATIVE CALM
HAS DESCENDED ON KIGALI AND UNAMIR TROOPS ARE NOT
PRESENTLY THE TARGET OF HOSTILITIES. YET THIS MIGHT BE
A WINDOW OF RELATIVE OPPORTUNITY TO EVACUATE UNAMIR
FORCES; THERE IS A REAL POSSIBILITY THAT IT MIGHT BECOME
MORE DIFFICULT TO EVACUATE UNAMIR ONCE THE FRENCH AND
BELGIANS LEAVE. IN THIS RESPECT, IT IS WORTH
CONSIDERING TAKING THE LEAD IN THE SECURITY COUNCIL TO
AUTHORIZE THE EVACUATION OF THE BULK OF UNAMIR, WHILE
LEAVING BEHIND A SKELETAL STAFF THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO
FACILITATE A CEASE-FIRE AND ANY FUTURE POLITICAL
NEGOTIATIONS.
4. BUJUMBURA MINIMIZE CONSIDERED.
