{Bodies of two unidentified men have been recovered this week by security agencies floating in Lake Rweru , bringing the total to seven corpses that have been so far recovered on the lake.}
Decomposing bodies floating on the water surface have been retrieved and those counted since these series of unidentified bodies came to the spotlights of international attention, pushing the United States Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) to officially announce its willingness to take up the case.
In a related development, the Burundian authorities have maintained that all the corpses that have been recovered by fishermen from Rweru, a small lake straddling across the common border of the two countries were from Rwanda, but the the Rwandan minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Louise Mushikiwabo has strongly refuted these “false claims”.
APA notes that the first corpses were found on the lake in late August, but the Burundian authorities have since confirmed the establishment of an investigation commission in order to clarify the situation regarding the corpses which have not yet been identified as their origin still remains a mystery.
“These allegations [by Burundian authorities] over corpses on Lake Rweru contained grave accusations and they cannot be taken lightly. Rwanda remains determined to take immediate corrective measures should those who made those allegations prove to have any factual basis,” Mushikiwabo told reporters in Kigali.
Rwanda and Burundi are neighours that share the same history, language and tradition.
