Rough translation

This does appear to be a translation from French, but the French text may be a translation from another lamguage Elinruby (talk) 04:19, 17 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

"Since the 1840s, Rwanda handed over several wars against its neighbors. King Mutara II Rwogera died of an illness in June 1853, but the NGO Akaba prevented the abiru (royal council) from informing the Queen Nyiramavugo Nyiramongi of his death, the NGO because she had refused to drink and should’ve not been left after the king's surrender. When the lamp was lit, Rwakagara, the queen's older sister, the gift her the milk and killed her."

Not sure what any of that is about. It is a translation from French, where it also makes little sense. NGO is a translation of ONG, which is anachronistic here. I suspect Ong Akaba is the name of a person or entity. The stuff about the milk and the lamp requires explanation. Elinruby (talk) 16:23, 18 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

More bad MT from further down: "It was also at this time that Rwanda lost its voice because when it brought the annual taxes, as usual, the Indagu showed that it was impossible to receive them when the King was seriously ill, only to return them. Since then, the island has dominated Rwanda."

Not aware of any island dominating Rwanda, though I am far from expert. The above is possibly of interest if ever deciphered. Elinruby (talk) 16:56, 18 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
