I just wonder if the Uganda quake is an unusual place for quakes... Is Lake Edward covering a volcano... Or is it situated close to a Fault?

I found this in relation with the Lake:

A geologic depression of southwest Asia and eastern Africa extending from the Jordan River valley to Mozambique. The region is marked by a series of faults caused by volcanic action.
