An adviser to the last king of Rwanda, Kigeli V, who died last month in the US aged 80 says the deposed monarch did not want to be buried in Rwanda.
Boniface Benzinge told the BBC’s Great Lakes service that he wanted to be laid to rest in the US where he had been living for several decades.
But media reports in Rwanda say that his family in the country want him to be buried there.
The monarchy was abolished in 1961 and Kigeli was forced into exile.
He eventually settled in the US where he set up a charity helping Rwandan refugees and orphans.
