From Rwanda-
Twenty-five years
after the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi that claimed the lives of over
a million people, Rwandans have been called upon to volunteer
information on the location of remains of the victims who did not get
decent burial.
The call was made
yesterday as hundreds of mourners gathered at Ruhanga Genocide Memorial
site to pay their respects to victims who were buried there.
The commemoration event was also an occasion to offer a decent burial to remains of 65 victims at the site.
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.
In the wake of the Genocide, thousands of Tutsi flocked to the church as they desperately sought to hide from their tormentors.
