The national Commission for fighting against Genocide (CNLG) has said that they are intending renovate three Genocide memorial sites in Uganda alongside Lake Victoria.
Ildephonse Karengera, in charge of memorial sites in the commission says, “we are intending to rebuild big historical sites with pictures, Rwandan history, particularly that of genocide.”
Karengera adds that the sites will have the same plan as that of Kigali Genocide Memorial Site in Gisozi which has more than 260,000 bodies who died during the 1994 Tutsi Genocide.
The sites to be rebuilt are those with bodies which were thrown in rivers like Akagera and ended up at the shores of Lake Victoria.
Those sites are Ggolo with 4773 bodies, Kansesero with 2827 and Lambo site with 3336 bodies. All the bodies in those sites are estimated to be beyond 10,000.
There are more than 400 Genocide memorial sites in Rwanda, among which 7 are care taken by CNLG and the rest are under Districts they are built.
Apart from these sites to be rebuilt, there are also other genocide memorial sites in Uganda which were built by an Indian named Muhamudu Tobani.
