Over 60, 000 Victims of Genocide to Get Descent Burial

{{The remains of over 60, 000 victims of the Genocide against ethnic Tutsi’s will be given a descent burial on April 19 at Kinazi cell in Ruhango district.}}

The victims had been previously buried at Rutabo cell in Kinazi sector. However, their remains will be relocated to Kinazi cell where they will be given a descent burial to coincide with the 20th Commemoration of the Genocide against ethnic Tutsi’s.

Dusengiyumva Samuel the representative of Genocide survivors and also the chairperson of the committee in charge of commemoration events and burial of genocide victims in former Ntongwe Commune hailed the efforts to grant descent burial to over 60000 victims of the genocide.

“This is what we have been waiting for. The victims are our brothers, sisters and parents, they were not buried properly. However, this time giving them a descent burial will help in healing some of the pain we have been enduring due the Genocide”.

Former Ntongwe Commune was host to hundreds of thousands of Tutsi’s that were fleeing from Interahamwe is other neighbouring communes including Bugesera,Nyanza and Kamonyi.

Most of Tutsi’s that sought refugee were rounded up in Ntongwe and were murdered en-masse.
