"How is it possible that 16 years after the genocide, we still need to bury some victims", he complained in a speech before representatives of the survivors' organization Ibuka and members of the diplomatic corps including the French ambassador Laurent Contini.

Ibuka's president Théodore Simburudali then deplored in his speech that seven survivors had been killed during the "100-Days commemoration" and that seven other drowned.
