Rwanda team plans new genocide memorial sites in Uganda

KIGALI (Xinhua) -- A team of Rwandan experts is currently in Uganda to
assess the construction of memorial sites for the remains of the 1994
genocide victims that reached Uganda after being swept by the
Nyabarongo river into Lake Victoria, state-run Radio Rwanda has
reported.
Rwandan High Commissioner to Uganda, Frank Mugambage, said the experts
would start their work this week.
"This work should have started long before, but we agreed for it to
begin after the week marking the 20th anniversary of the genocide,"
the radio quoted the senior Rwandan diplomat in Kampala as saying.
The four tombs involved are located in Uganda in the regions of
Masaka, Kalangala, Rakai and Mpigi.
Official sources in Kigali said at least the remains of 11,040 Rwandan
genocide victims were recovered by fishermen in Lake Victoria and
buried at many locations in Uganda.
"Tens of thousands of bodies of the 1994 genocide were thrown into the
Nyabarongo river that eventually swept them away into Lake Victoria,"
Mugambage explained.
The Rwandan genocide saw hard-line members of Rwanda's Hutu ethnic
group target Tutsis and moderate Hutus over a period of about three
months.
The killings began after a plane carrying President Juvenal
Habyarimana and his Burundian counterpart, Cyprien Ntaryamira, was
shot down over the Rwandan capital Kigali.
