Decent burial to our dead a good gesture

The decision by the Ugandan government last week to allow the remains of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi to be accorded a decent burial is a positive gesture. During 100 days of bloodletting, thousands of dead bodies of Genocide victims were thrown into Akagera and Nyabarongo rivers — both tributaries of Lake Victoria and ended up in Uganda and beyond. Their dead bodies were washed down and landed at different shores of East Africa’s biggest lake. They were later buried at six different mass graves in Uganda. There have been media reports that that some of the remains had been dug up and used for witchcraft purposes and the graves turned into occult shrines.
