Following Security Council Resolution 912, the UNAMIR force is reduced from 2,500 to 270. Interahamwe militia and other armed people kill 22,000 Tutsi in Gikongoro. Between 20,000 and 30,000 Tutsi are killed in former Nyaruhengeri (at Kansi and Kibilizi), in Muganza (at Mugombwa Catholic Church, Muganza Hills) and in Kibayi (at Kabuga and Magi) communes in Butare Prefecture. The UN Security Council unanimously adopts Resolution 912 withdrawing most of the UNAMIR troops, cutting the force from 2,500 to 270. Alison De Forges of Human Rights Watch says in an interview on the Voice of America that the people responsible for the massacres taking place in Rwanda should be brought to justice. She says the massacres were planned long ago by President Habyarimana and his confidants, including Colonel Bagosora, Colonel Augustin Bizimungu and Captain Simbikangwa. De Forges lashes out at the international journalists who maintain that the problem in Rwanda is based on nothing other than ethnicity.
