Operation Retour

Operation Retour. A woman and child wait to be loaded into UNHCR buses. The refugees, mainly ethnic Hutus, were terrified that the Rwandan Patriotic Front now gaining control of Rwanda would carry out reprisals for the genocide. Many refugees remained in DRC, preferring discomfort, shortage of food and fuel and even the threat of volcanic eruption. 1995.
