DAR ES SALAAM, Aug 29 (AFP) - Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana has expressed concern that the 37 days provided for in the peace agreement for deployment of a neutral international force under United Nations auspices was not enough.
Addressing a press conference on departure here after a one-day official visit to Tanzania, Habyarimana said he feared that the process involved, including having the decision endorsed by the U.N. Security Council, would take more than the 37 days provided for in the Rwandan peace pact.
Habyarimana was in the country to hold talks with Tanzanian President Ali Hassan Mwinyi, the official facilitator at the Rwandan peace talks, held at the northern Tanzanian town of Arusha for more than one month before a peace accord was concluded and subsequently signed there August 4.
A U.N mission has already arrived in Rwanda to see how the U.N. can help in implementing the August 4 peace accord, which ended nearly three years of civil war in the poor but overpopulated and landlocked central African nation.
U.N. Secretary-general Boutros Boutros-Ghali said a fortnight ago that he was sending the mission to investigate ways in which the U.N. could assist the Organisation of African Unity in ensuring that the peace accord between the government and the rebel Rwandan Patriotic Front was properly implemented.
