4. BEGIN TEXT OF RPF LETTER TO SC PRESIDENT:
MR. PRESIDENT:
I RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONS THIS AFTERNOON TO CONVEY TO THE
MEMBERS OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL THE REQUEST OF THE
RWANDESE PATRIOTIC FRONT, THAT IF THE COUNCIL PLANS TO
APPROVE THE PROPOSED FRENCH INTERVENTION, IT SHOULD,
SIMULTANEOUSLY, AUTHORIZE THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE EXISTING
CONTINGENT OF UNAMIR.
THE RWANDESE PATRIOTIC FRONT IS CONCERNED THAT ITS
PERSONNEL MAY NOT ALWAYS BE IN A POSITION TO MAKE A
CLEAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN UNAMIR AND OTHER FOREIGN
FORCES TN THE EVENT OF AN ESCALATION OF HOSTILITIES. WE
HAVE, REGRETTABLY, COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT IS
NECESSARY THAT UNAMIR PERSONNEL, BE WITHDRAWN TO SAFETY,
AT LEAST ON A TEMPORARY BASIS.
WE WISH TO ASSURE YOUR EXCELLENCY THAT THIS REQUEST IS
MADE IN GOOD FAITH AND DOES NOT, IN ANY WAY, REFLECT A
DESIRE ON OUR PART TO AVOID OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
SAFETY OF UNITED NATIONS PERSONNEL IN OUR TERRITORY.
UNCLASSIFIED
FOR THE POLITICAL BUREAU OF THE RWANDESE PATRIOTIC
FRONT. SIGNED MR. GERALD GAHIMA
