KIGALI, Nov 11 (Reuter) - European Union Commissioner Emma Bonino on Monday opposed re-establishing refugee camps inside Zaire and called for the urgent dispatch of a U.N. military force to help send them back home. She spoke on arrival in Kigali leading an EU delegation including Dutch Development Cooperation Minister Jan Pronk and Irish Minister of State for Overseas Development Joan Burton. The team came from the Zairean capital Kinshasa as U.N. special envoy Raymond Chretien held a second round of talks with Rwandan President Pasteur Bizimungu and military strongman Major-General Paul Kagame. "We are against the re-establishment of refugee camps inside Zaire. But at the same time we need to find these refugees and send them back home, but to do this we need a military force to open up corridors for them," Bonino told a news conference. She said she was frustrated at world inaction in dealing with Africa's worst crisis since the genocide in Rwanda in 1994. Some 1.1 million Rwandan and Burundian refugees f

led camps in eastern Zaire when fighting broke out between the rebels and Zaire's army. Many of the refugees, scattered across rough terrain, are dying of thirst and starvation. On Sunday, the rebel Alliance Democratic Forces of Liberation for Congo-Zaire, agreed to open a corridor to reach the refugees trapped outside the cities of Bukavu and Goma. Seven non-governmental aid agencies crossed the border into Goma to deliver food for patients in hospitals and medicines. The agencies included the U.N. Children's Fund, Concern, Merlin, Save the Children, Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF-Doctors without Frontiers) and CARE. MSF spokeswoman Samantha Boulton told Reuters a full-scale aid operation would resume only when assessments on security and humanitarian needs had been carried out. "They have just crossed at this moment. They got thoroughly searched but they took in emergency food supplies for patients in hospitals and emergency drugs," Boulton added. In a major climbdown, Rwanda led the way on Sunday when it g

ave authority for the agencies to deliver aid to the refugees. Rwanda had previously insisted on aid being distributed inside the country to returning refugees only. Aid agencies said they had plenty of food, water and medicines but needed a safe corridor to deliver the supplies. The refugees fled their home two years ago after an ethnic war and genocide of Tutsis and moderate Hutus. Many refuse to return for fear of reprisals for their role in the slaughter. Chretien talked with Bizimungu and Kagame, Rwanda's two most powerful politicians, on narrowing differences between Kinshasa and Kigali and getting an official ceasefire in eastern Zaire. Zaire accuses Kagame's army of backing the rebels -- who first took up arms when Zairean authorities tried to expel ethnic Banyamulenge Tutsis back to Rwanda a land they migrated from at the end of the 18th Century -- but Kigali denies it. Rwanda says the war in Zaire is an internal matter emanating from a corrupt, dictatorial and decaying political system. Rwanda oppo

ses French participation in a U.N. humanitarian force because of close ties between Paris and Kinshasa.
