Akagera National park fencing will be over before March 2013, Jean Bosco Rutayisire; Director of TNH-EME (that is fencing Akagera national park) has said.

Fencing Akagera Park kicked off in May 2012 expecting to it to last in 9 months time in January 2013. Out of 110 kilometers, only 81 have been fenced but the remaining 29 kilometers are expected to be covered before March 2013 ends.

Explaining on the reasons for delayed completion, Rutayisire revealed that fencing materials took long to reach Rwanda as they were purchased from South Africa and China.

In addition, park fences could sometimes reach on residents pieces of land, which made RDB to shift residents and compensate them before the fencing proceeded.

As if that wasn’t enough, the akagera national park administration had to look for ways of how to extend water from Ihema Lake to outside parts surrounding the park so that cattle drink from the outside.

Apart from water problem, residents surrounding the park had their crops destroyed by the animals that could escape from the park not mentioning claiming their lives sometimes.

Residents are optimistic that once fencing is over, all the problems of animals destroying their crops will be over. The affected residents are from Ndego, Mwili and one part of Murundi sector that neighbor with Akagera national park.

Doing community work for the end of February

After the community work for the Saturday of the February that was done on the 23^rd.Feb.2013 which residents of Nyamugari and Remera cells in Gasaka sector did at Murambi Genocide Memorial site, the mayor of Nyamagabe district asked people to always ensure the sanitation and cleanliness of this memorial site.

The mayor of Nyamagabe district Mr. Philbert Mugisha thanked people who participated in this community work for the work well done. He asked residents of Remera cell to always take a day in the weekly community work and clean the memorial site for the sake of its beauty.

“If we can put the cleanliness of this memorial site in our performing contracts as people of Remera cell, every village to take care of it after the other in the weekly performing contracts, we can achieve it” says the mayor.

Though this memorial site is not under the supervision of the district, it is under the responsibility of the commission that fights against the Genocide in Rwanda. This however, does not take away the residents responsibility to clean it up and maintain its security since I is the resting place for many Rwandans who lost their lives in the 1994 genocide against Tutsi and keeps history for all Rwandans.

“We will not wait for people to come from other provinces to clean this memorial site nor will we disregard its security because they are police officers in charge of that. We have a responsibility to it because it holds the history of many Rwandans especially the former Gikongoro Province” says the mayor.

This memorial site is visited by all kinds of people including Rwandans and foreigners so its cleanliness, its security and other operations are of concern to everyone. Residents that attended this community work to start preparing for 19^th mourning period while commemorating Rwandans that died during the 1994 genocide in April 2013.

As a way of protecting the bodies of 1994 genocide survivors, 14 memorial sites in every sector of Ngoma district will be reduced to six so that the district looks after them.

The decision to reduce the number of memorial centres came after many memorial sites are not permanently built and water enters some graves when it rains.

In this program, over 500 bodies of genocide victims buried in three sectors will be shifted to the six memorial centres accepted by the district administration.

Bodies in sites in Gashanda, Zaza, Karembo and Mugesera sectors will be reburied in Zaza memorial centre on April 13^th 2013 during the event to end 19^th genocide commemoration in Rwanda.

Ngoma district administration reveals that the decision was taken so that the few memorials remaining are well taken care of according to the district’s financial capacity.

Samson Gihana, president of Ibuka (umbrella organization for the 1994 genocide survivors) in Ngoma district told the reporter that the survivors support the fact that the memorial centres be renovated to protect the bodies.

He explains: “It’s a decision we appreciated because memorial sites should be protected to preserve history.”

The six accepted memorial sites in Ngoma district are Rukumberi, Kibungo, Rukira, Remera, Sake and Zaza.

It’s expected that enclosing a memorial site can cost Rwf100 million, which is the reason why the number had to reduce.

Kirindi memorial site with about 10 bodies of people killed in the genocide

While concluding the commemoration period of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi at Kirindi memorial site, genocide survivors in Kirindi, Shyembe cell, Murambi sector Karongi district requested for a memorial site for their people thrown in R.Nyabarongo during the genocide.

This place faced many killings but because people were thrown into the river, the memorial site has about 10 bodies only.

About 99% of the people were killed from near this place and therefore this is why the survivors requested the government to put a memorial site at least near the river that took their people.

Many of the people were thrown in the river after being killed but there are some who were thrown there still alive, and were killed with stone.

This ceremony was graced by many different people who included MP Samuel Musabyimana who was the guest of honor, MP Ezechias Rwabuhihi from Karongi,the vice mayor in charge of economic development Sebastein Hakizimana,different official from the army among others.

However because of the spoilt bridge at Nyabarongo people were not able to take flowers to the River to commemorate the genocide victims.

The wreaths were laid on the memorial site at the hospital were people were called upon to support genocide survivors especially during the commemoration period.

People who involve in trade activities at the Main Market in the Northern Province of Rwanda say they have learnt a lot about the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis and they are ready to testify the truth about what happened while rebuilding Rwanda based on unity and reconciliation.

The Musanze market traders said this after visiting the Ntarama memorial site in Nyamata sector in Bugesera district on the 11^th.April.2013. Traders had come to this memorial site to learn of the history and the mistreatment of Tutsis before and during the genocide.

The Tutsis were shifted to Bugesera District, they were tried on with genocide in 1992 and those who survived the genocide trial were annihilated during the 1994 genocide like everywhere else in Rwanda as Peter Rugerinyange the traders’ representative explained.

“The lesson we learnt after visiting the Nyamata Memorial Site is that we will do all we possibly can to ensure that genocide never happens again in Rwanda and we will tell everyone willing to listen about this lesson.”

For Clement Twizerimana who is in charge of culture and entertainment in Musanze district says what the traders saw and heard is to make them into the truth tellers of what happened to the world which will bond unity among Rwandans.

As Musanze traders were explained, in April 1994 when the genocide was beginning, most of the Tutsis sought refuge in Ntarama church hoping to get saved in the holy place.

This was never the case because they were all killed in this church using the traditional weapons like machetes and hatchets and ammunitions from the army and children were smashed on the walls.

The Musanze Market traders say that visiting the Ntarama Memorial Site was an experience that taught them more of what they knew about the 1994 genocide against Tutsis. This gave them the courage to strengthen the unity as Rwandans.
