Annan proposes independent enquiry into genocide

    NAIROBI

    UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has proposed an independent enquiry into the genocide of 1994, news organisations reported. In a letter to the Security Council, he said questions continued to surround the actions of the UN before and during the massacres. “It is therefore my intention to set up an independent enquiry into the actions which the United Nations took at that time,” he said. Annan was head of the UN’s peacekeeping department in 1994 and has been criticised for not responding appropriately.
