On 21 March, France began to withdraw its forces. The withdrawal was completed on 11 December after the first units of UNAMIR had taken up positions in Rwanda.1 Nevertheless, during the genocidal events, foreign troops teamed up for the humanitarian actions.2 Nevertheless, Belgium did withdraw its troops once its force in the UNAMIR came under attack. The Belgian withdrew and also campaigned for the withdrawal of all forces.3
