"Signing a peace accord has not changed the dictatorial nature of power in Kigali," Kanyarengwe said.
The FPR statement came hours after the U.N. Security Council voted in New York on Tuesday to send up to 2,500 peacekeepers to Rwanda, where a new government is due to be installed by the end of 1995 after general elections.
The resolution adopted unanimously stresses that the U.N. force will be put in place only "at the request of the parties and under peaceful conditions with the full cooperation of all the parties."
It provides for an initial six-month mission but stipulates that this will be extended beyond the first three months only after the council reviews a report from the secretary general "as to whether or not substantive progress has been made towards the implementation of the Arusha Peace Agreement."
A first contingent of U.N. troops will be deployed in Kigali to allow implementation of institutions involved in the transition.
The peacekeeping force should eventually become the third largest in Africa after the missions in Somalia and Mozambique.
U.N. Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali estimated the cost of the mission at 62.6 million dollars for the first six months.
