2. AFTER RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONS TO DEMARCHE THE
UGANDANS TO URGE THE RPF TO STOP THEIR OFFENSIVE, I
MET LATE JULY 14 WITH FOREIGN MINISTER PAUL
SSEMOGERERE, DEPUTY FOREIGN MINISTER AGARD DIDI , AND
MINISTER OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS KIRUNDA
KIVEJINJA. SPEAKING INDIVIDUALLY WITH EACH OF THE
MINISTERS, I REPORTED THE RAPIDLY DETERIORATING
MILITARY SITUATION IN WESTERN RWANDA, THE DELUGE OF
HUTU REFUGEES POURING INTO ZAIRE, THE GROWING
INABILITY OF THE NGO'S AND INTERNATIONAL AID AGENCIES
TO COPE AND THE INCREASING FRUSTRATIONS OF THE FRENCH
AND MOBUTU. I CALLED UPON ALL THREE MINISTERS TO
COMMUNICATE WITH THE RPF AND TO URGE RPF LEADERS TO
ENTER INTO AN IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. MORE IMPORTANTLY,
I TOLD THEM TO CONTACT PRESIDENT MUSEVENI AND ASK HIM
TO TALK DIRECTLY WITH RPF LEADER KIGAME TO STOP THE
CURRENT FIGHTING THAT IS LEADING TO NEAR BIBICAL
EXODUS OF PEOPLE FROM RWANDA. (COMMENT: AT THE
CONCLUSION OF BASTILLE DAY CELEBRATIONS HERE, THE

HIM TO INTERCEDE WITH THE RPF. END COMMENT.)
3. FOLLOWING MY DISCUSSIONS WITH THE THREE
MINISTERS, I TELEPHONED THE PRESIDENT'S FARM IN
RAKATURA (NEAR MBABARA) LATE THURSDAY EVENING AND
ASKED TO SPEAK WITH HIM URGENTLY. PRESIDENT MUSEVENI
WAS STILL IN MBABARA MAKING A SPEECH, BUT I SPOKE
WITH HIS WIFE AND STRESSED TO HER THE NEED TO HAVE
MUSEVENI CALL ME FRIDAY MORNING AT THE LATEST.
4. COMMENT: I HAVE LET THE UGANDANS IN THE FOREIGN
MINISTRY KNOW OUR CONCERNS ABOUT THE SITUATION ALONG
THE ZAIRE/RWANDA BORDER. HOWEVER, MUSEVENI IS THE
KEY TO KIGAME AND UGANDA'S RWANDA POLICY. I WILL
CONTINUE TO TRY TO REACH MUSEVENI VIA PHONE TO LET
HIM KNOW THE URGENCY AND IMPORTANCE OF OUR CONCERNS.
IS DOING THE SAME.
