Geneva - The UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Ms Sadako Ogata, yesterday called for an end to the spiral of violence in Africa's Great Lakes region after 148 people, mostly Tutsi refugees, died in Rwanda last week in an attack by suspected Hutu gangs.
In a statement, she said she was shocked and outraged by the massacre in the early hours of Friday at a camp for ethnic Tutsis from former Zaire in north-western Rwanda.
