King Kigeli V to be buried in Rwanda, US court rules

The remains of Rwanda’s last monarch King Kigeli V Ndahindurwa are likely to be repatriated soon following a United States court ruling that he be buried at home.

The ruling settles a disagreement between close relations of the king that ensued after the death of the 80-year-old leader on October 16, 2016 in Virginia, US. One side insisted that he be buried in Rwanda while the other opposed the move. The dispute moved to the court.
