OAU genocide team meets Bizimungu, Kagame

    NAIROBI

    An OAU panel set up last year to investigate the causes and consequences of the 1994 genocide concluded a five-day visit to Rwanda on Sunday, Radio Rwanda reported. It said the OAU International Panel of Eminent Personalities met with President Pasteur Bizimungu, Vice-President Paul Kagame and other officials. The radio quoted Bizimungu as saying the panel had sought "clarifications" so it could propose measures to avoid a
    repetition of genocide. "They have been to Congo, they have been to USA, they have been to Europe, and they have got lots of information - sometimes misinformation - about what happened and what is happening," he said.
