Six people drowned after a boat taking them to a genocide memorial service capsized Wednesday in heavy winds on Lake Kivu off the coast of Rwanda. According to the provincial governor, at least 10 were still missing, and more than 50 were rescued from the waters near the city of Kibuye where services were being held to observe the 16th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide. He said that genocide survivors were among the missing. The governor said that the boat had been overloaded and that the mourners drowned within eyesight of the memorial services on the mainland.
