From Rwanda-
Thousands of mourners gathered yesterday at Ruhanga memorial site in Gasabo District to accord a decent burial to 157 Genocide victims recovered recently from different parts of Rusororo Sector.
Ruhanga Genocide Memorial is located at the former Ruhanga Episcopal Anglican Church (EAR Ruhanga) and has a mass grave inside the former church.
This is the only Anglican Church parish in the country which was converted into a Genocide memorial site.
Currently over 36,700 victims massacred from both inside the church and from surrounding areas are buried at the memorial site.
Over 25,000 were killed at the church compound where they sought refuge, according to accounts by witnesses.
