    Muhanga: More Genocide Victims’’ Bodies still missing

    Some of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi survivors in Nyamabuye and Mushishiro sectors at Kabgayi memorial site say that they are still not able to find bodies of their relatives so as to lay them to rest. 

    In the ongoing memorial period, people are yet being told how Tutsis in this area were killed while being mocked and they showed great concern as they have not yet got the corpses of many people who were killed in this area.

    Hillarie Mukeshimana a resident of Mushishiro said that apart from those who were buried in this site, there are many others who were thrown into Nyabarongo River that have never found and others who were thrown in pit latrines and elsewhere who have not yet been found so as to be buried well.

    This makes these survivors unable to rest though many have already been buried.

    In his speech, Fidele Mupagasi Nyamabuye the coordinator of Ibuka asked everyone who would know a place where the corpses of the genocide victims are buried to talk so that they are buried in their rightful place.

    He talked about the lives of the genocide survivors now and said that some still need help to get accommodation and to help orphans who finished schools to get what to do and those who dropped out of school to be sent back to school.

    Jean Baptiste Mugunga the executive secretary of Nyamabuye sector said that testimonies should always be shared and not only by genocide survivors but also by those who participated in the killings.

    About 559 corpses of Tutsis who were killed in the 1994 genocide against Tutsis are buried at Kabgayi memorial site.
