...recent morning, a neatly typed letter arrived at the offices of CARE in Goma, Zaire, addressed to relief worker Guy Banville and signed by "the refugees of Katale." Katale is a huge Rwandan refugee settlement in a valley north of Goma where the 36-year-old Canadian had been supervising food deliveries for nearly three months.

That location is the same "safe haven" French peacekeepers abandoned in August. U.N. military observers said the Rwandan Patriotic Front (R.P.F.), which won a civil war three months ago, now wants to displace the refugees by Oct. 25. Meanwhile, the U.N. says, conditions are so bad in the camps that mothers are abandoning children at orphanages to ensure that their offspring are fed --the result of armed ex-soldiers hogging...
