Sabena's president, Mr. Tillens, attempts to secure immediate help for Paul and the eight hundred refugees. Who does Tillens contact and what is the result for Paul and the refugees hiding in the hotel? Use text evidence to support your answer.

As I recall Mr. Tilens contacts the Belgian president. The result however is less than satisfactory. Only European citizens, mostly white Europeans, are escorted out of the hotel and moved to safety. The black Tutsi guests are at the mercy of Hutu rebels.
