More mass graves ‘discovered in Rwanda’

Officials in Rwanda will resume efforts to exhume bodies of victims of the 1994 genocide in the Kigali suburb of Kabuga, according to Rwandan newspaper The New Times.

This comes after 41 mass graves were unearthed in Kabuga town and Gasabo and Kicukiro districts, which are all roughly half an hour drive from the capital city of Kigali.

The exercise to work on the newly identified mass graves is expected to start next week, Naphtal Ahishakiye, the Executive Secretary for lobby group Ibuka, told The New Times.

Another exhumation started in April. The New Times reports that more than 30,000 bodies have since been exhumed.
