IBUKA requests decent burial of bodies swept to DRC

During the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi, some bodies of genocide victims were thrown in River Sebeya and Lake Kivu and floated to DRC where RPF Inkotanyi members living in Goma at the time retrieved 100 bodies in Kituku by Lake Kivu shore.

Talking to IGIHE; the president of IBUKA in Rubavu district, Innocent Kabanda has requested to bring back these bodies to be buried decently or build a memorial in Goma town.

“There are bodies washed away by water to DRC. We request both states to negotiate how the remains can be brought back to Rwanda for decent burial or build a memorial in Goma,” he explained.
