    KIGALI, April 13 (Xinhua) -- Remains of more than 50 victims of the 1994 genocide against Tutsi were Friday given befitting burial at Muyumbu memorial site in Rwamagana district in eastern Rwanda, on the last day of the official mourning week.

    The remains were retrieved with help of residents including survivors and genocide perpetrators in different areas of the district where they had been dumped, according to survivors.

    The Muyumbu memorial already had remains of more than 12,000 genocide victims.

    Survivors Friday remembered the tragic death suffered by the victims and called for never again.

    Member of Parliament Constance Rwaka speaking at the reburial ceremony urged Rwandans to avoid genocide ideology for a unified society and country in general.

    Youth born after the genocide should avoid genocide ideology and ethnic divisions as tomorrow's national leaders, and instead strive for unity, self and national development, she said.

    On April 13, 1994 Interahamwe militias and former government soldiers killed more than 6,000 Tutsi who had sought refuge at Musha parish in Rwamagana district, according to information from Rwanda's National Commission for the fight against Genocide (CNLG), while elsewhere in the country militias hurled grenades on a church in Kibeho, Nyamagabe district in southern Rwanda, where 30,000 people had taken refuge, killing about 2,200.

    The genocide claimed lives of more than 1 million people mainly Tutsi and moderate Hutus. It was stopped by the Rwanda Patriotic Army led by current president Kagame.

    The official mourning week closed on Friday countrywide but genocide commemoration activities will continue until July 3 to mark 100 days of the genocide.
