On Friday 26 June, 2009, the staff of the National Aids Control Commission
(CNLS) visited the Kabgayi Genocide Memorial site in Muhanga district to pay
tribute to the victims buried therein.
As it was the case everywhere in the country, during the genocide many
Tutsis took refuge in churches hoping that their killers would not dare kill
them while in holy places; however, unexpectedly, Interahamwe militia and
former Rwandan Armed Forces found them there and wiped out them.
