RWANDA/BURUNDI: Rotting bodies with bound limbs or stuffed in sacks,…

Some of dead bodies carried down by Akagera river into lake Rweru. Geographical situation hints that these bodies came undoubtedly from RWANDA. This takes place months after Human Rights Watch and the US State Department reported thousands of missing persons in Rwanda. Admin

Lake Rweru – Fishermen say the corpses started coming some two months ago: rotting bodies with bound limbs or stuffed in sacks, floating on the glittering waters of Lake Rweru on the border between Burundi and Rwanda.

Where they have come from and why they are there remains a mystery. Investigations have stalled as the case embarrasses Burundi and its powerful neighbour denies all knowledge.

Officially, just four bodies were found tied up in sacks last month – already enough to set alarm bells ringing in a region scarred by decades of political unrest and serious rights abuses.

Fishermen report seeing as many as 10 times that number, carried by the currents in the lake 270km north-east of Bujumbura.

Late last month a joint Burundi-Rwanda commission was set up to find the origin of the bodies, and Burundi’s presidential spokesman Willy Nyamitwe repeated this week that the two countries were working together on the case.

But on the ground, little seems to be done to unravel the mystery.

“On our side, we investigated by asking leaders in the area if there were any missing people, and they said no,” said local Burundian governor Aline Manirabarusha.

One diplomat in Burundi’s capital Bujumbura says the bodies were buried without an autopsy.

“It means that the people can never be identified, or know where they come from,” the diplomat said.

In 2006, the bodies of Burundian opponents murdered in political violence were thrown into various rivers in the country.

That was the year Burundi emerged from more than a decade of brutal civil war, and its political climate remains fractious ahead of presidential polls due next June.

Neighbouring Rwanda is led by strongman President Paul Kagame, who despite being credited with overseeing dramatic economic advances while in office, has also come in for mounting criticism for suppressing dissent, including the alleged assassinations of exiled opposition figures.

On both banks of Lake Rweru, which is 10km long, residents say they are sure the bodies were washed downstream by the Nyabarongo-Kagera river.

The river originates in Rwanda before flowing into Lake Rweru, on into Burundi and Tanzania, and emptying into Lake Victoria.

It has a grim history: during the Rwandan genocide in 1994, the bodies of some of those massacred floated down the river.

Near the water, a young Rwandan farmer describes how the main river, which splits into different channels, has in recent months taken a new path.

That is why the bodies have appeared in the lake, he says.

“Had they remained in the Kagera river, the injustice would never have come to light,” said the farmer, who lives with his family in a small hut at the edge of the river, a short boat ride from the border with Burundi.

“It was God who wanted these crimes not to go unpunished.”

The farmer says he has seen around 20 bags containing bodies flowing downstream in the river.

Local residents say the bodies started coming in mid-July. But after discovering them, they pushed them back into the water, for fear of bringing trouble on themselves.

Local official Manirabarusha also insisted the bodies come “down the Kagera river”.

But asked if that means the bodies come from Rwanda, the governor declined to comment.

“I do not know where exactly the Kagera is… I forget, ask geographers who have studied this,” she said, visibly embarrassed.

A senior Burundi official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the case may never be brought to light because “Burundi will sacrifice the truth on the altar of its relations with Kigali”.

“It is crucial, because Burundi cannot afford to antagonise its powerful neighbour,” he said.

When contacted by AFP, Rwandan police spokesman Damas Gatera dismissed any suggestion the bodies have come from his country.

“There were no dead bodies in Rwanda or found in Rwanda, the ones we are talking about were found in Burundi,” he said.

When asked why Rwandan farmers have been ordered not to talk to journalists in the area, he said he did not know. – Sapa-AFP

Ruriya rupfu yabahaye niwo mutekano yabahitiyemo ?

Muri perefegitura ya Ruhengeri honyine (dore ko bakuyeho amazina ya komine na perefegitura kugira ngo bajijishe ngo ubwicanyi bakora mu gihugu butazamenyekana), abantu barenga 2000 bamaze kunyerezwa n’inkotanyi !

“Ebola and AIDS are bio weapons being tested on Africans” Scientists allege.

Leave a reply

Scientists allege deadly diseases such as Ebola and AIDS are bio weapons being tested on Africans. Other reports have linked the Ebola virus outbreak to an attempt to reduce Africa’s population. Liberia happens to be the continents’s fastest growing population.

Scientists Allege

By:

Dr. Cyril Broderick, Professor of Plant Pathology

Dear World Citizens:

I have read a number of articles from your Internet outreach as well as articles from other sources about the casualties in Liberia and other West African countries about the human devastation caused by the Ebola virus. About a week ago, I read an article published in the Internet news summary publication of the Friends of Liberia that said that there was an agreement that the initiation of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa was due to the contact of a two-year old child with bats that had flown in from the Congo. That report made me disconcerted with the reporting about Ebola, and it stimulated a response to the “Friends of Liberia,” saying that African people are not ignorant and gullible, as is being implicated. A response from Dr. Verlon Stone said that the article was not theirs, and that “Friends of Liberia” was simply providing a service. He then asked if he could publish my letter in their Internet forum. I gave my permission, but I have not seen it published. Because of the widespread loss of life, fear, physiological trauma, and despair among Liberians and other West African citizens, it is incumbent that I make a contribution to the resolution of this devastating situation, which may continue to recur, if it is not properly and adequately confronted. I will address the situation in five (5) points:

1. EBOLA IS A GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISM (GMO)

Horowitz (1998) was deliberate and unambiguous when he explained the threat of new diseases in his text, Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola – Nature, Accident or Intentional. In his interview with Dr. Robert Strecker in Chapter 7, the discussion, in the early 1970s, made it obvious that the war was between countries that hosted the KGB and the CIA, and the ‘manufacture’ of ‘AIDS-Like Viruses’ was clearly directed at the other. In passing during the Interview, mention was made of Fort Detrick, “the Ebola Building,” and ‘a lot of problems with strange illnesses’ in “Frederick [Maryland].” By Chapter 12 in his text, he had confirmed the existence of an American Military-Medical-Industry that conducts biological weapons tests under the guise of administering vaccinations to control diseases and improve the health of “black Africans overseas.” The book is an excellent text, and all leaders plus anyone who has interest in science, health, people, and intrigue should study it. I am amazed that African leaders are making no acknowledgements or reference to these documents.

2. EBOLA HAS A TERRIBLE HISTORY, AND TESTING HAS BEEN SECRETLY TAKING PLACE IN AFRICA

I am now reading The Hot Zone, a novel, by Richard Preston (copyrighted 1989 and 1994); it is heart-rending. The prolific and prominent writer, Steven King, is quoted as saying that the book is “One of the most horrifying things I have ever read. What a remarkable piece of work.” As a New York Times bestseller, The Hot Zone is presented as “A terrifying true story.” Terrifying, yes, because the pathological description of what was found in animals killed by the Ebola virus is what the virus has been doing to citizens of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia in its most recent outbreak: Ebola virus destroys peoples’ internal organs and the body deteriorates rapidly after death. It softens and the tissues turn into jelly, even if it is refrigerated to keep it cold. Spontaneous liquefaction is what happens to the body of people killed by the Ebola virus! The author noted in Point 1, Dr. Horowitz, chides The Hot Zone for writing to be politically correct; I understand because his book makes every effort to be very factual. The 1976 Ebola incident in Zaire, during President Mobutu Sese Seko, was the introduction of the GMO Ebola to Africa.

3. SITES AROUND AFRICA, AND IN WEST AFRICA, HAVE OVER THE YEARS BEEN SET UP FOR TESTING EMERGING DISEASES, ESPECIALLY EBOLA

The World Health Organization (WHO) and several other UN Agencies have been implicated in selecting and enticing African countries to participate in the testing events, promoting vaccinations, but pursuing various testing regiments. The August 2, 2014 article, West Africa: What are US Biological Warfare Researchers Doing in the Ebola Zone? by Jon Rappoport of Global Research pinpoints the problem that is facing African governments.

Obvious in this and other reports are, among others:

(a) The US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), a well-known centre for bio-war research, located at Fort Detrick, Maryland;

(b) Tulane University, in New Orleans, USA, winner of research grants, including a grant of more than $7 million the National Institute of Health (NIH) to fund research with the Lassa viral hemorrhagic fever;

(d) Doctors Without Borders (also known by its French name, Medecins Sans Frontiers);

(e) Tekmira, a Canadian pharmaceutical company;

(f) The UK’s GlaxoSmithKline; and

(g) the Kenema Government Hospital in Kenema, Sierra Leone.

Reports narrate stories of the US Department of Defense (DoD) funding Ebola trials on humans, trials which started just weeks before the Ebola outbreak in Guinea and Sierra Leone. The reports continue and state that the DoD gave a contract worth $140 million dollars to Tekmira, a Canadian pharmaceutical company, to conduct Ebola research. This research work involved injecting and infusing healthy humans with the deadly Ebola virus. Hence, the DoD is listed as a collaborator in a “First in Human” Ebola clinical trial (NCT02041715, which started in January 2014 shortly before an Ebola epidemic was declared in West Africa in March. Disturbingly, many reports also conclude that the US government has a viral fever bioterrorism research laboratory in Kenema, a town at the epicentre of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. The only relevant positive and ethical olive-branch seen in all of my reading is that Theguardian.com reported, “The US government funding of Ebola trials on healthy humans comes amid warnings by top scientists in Harvard and Yale that such virus experiments risk triggering a worldwide pandemic.” That threat still persists.

4. THE NEED FOR LEGAL ACTION TO OBTAIN REDRESS FOR DAMAGES INCURRED DUE TO THE PERPETUATION OF INJUSTICE IN THE DEATH, INJURY AND TRAUMA IMPOSED ON LIBERIANS AND OTHER AFRICANS BY THE EBOLA AND OTHER DISEASE AGENTS.

The U. S., Canada, France, and the U. K. are all implicated in the detestable and devilish deeds that these Ebola tests are. There is the need to pursue criminal and civil redress for damages, and African countries and people should secure legal representation to seek damages from these countries, some corporations, and the United Nations. Evidence seems abundant against Tulane University, and suits should start there. Yoichi Shimatsu’s article, The Ebola Breakout Coincided with UN Vaccine Campaigns, as published on August 18, 2014, in the Liberty Beacon.

5. AFRICAN LEADERS AND AFRICAN COUNTRIES NEED TO TAKE THE LEAD IN DEFENDING BABIES, CHILDREN, AFRICAN WOMEN, AFRICAN MEN, AND THE ELDERLY. THESE CITIZENS DO NOT DESERVE TO BE USED AS GUINEA PIGS!

Africa must not relegate the Continent to become the locality for disposal and the deposition of hazardous chemicals, dangerous drugs, and chemical or biological agents of emerging diseases. There is urgent need for affirmative action in protecting the less affluent of poorer countries, especially African citizens, whose countries are not as scientifically and industrially endowed as the United States and most Western countries, sources of most viral or bacterial GMOs that are strategically designed as biological weapons. It is most disturbing that the U. S. Government has been operating a viral hemorrhagic fever bioterrorism research laboratory in Sierra Leone. Are there others? Wherever they exist, it is time to terminate them. If any other sites exist, it is advisable to follow the delayed but essential step: Sierra Leone closed the US bioweapons lab and stopped Tulane University for further testing.

The world must be alarmed. All Africans, Americans, Europeans, Middle Easterners, Asians, and people from every conclave on Earth should be astonished. African people, notably citizens more particularly of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone are victimized and are dying every day. Listen to the people who distrust the hospitals, who cannot shake hands, hug their relatives and friends. Innocent people are dying, and they need our help. The countries are poor and cannot afford the whole lot of personal protection equipment (PPE) that the situation requires. The threat is real, and it is larger than a few African countries. The challenge is global, and we request assistance from everywhere, including China, Japan, Australia, India, Germany, Italy, and even kind-hearted people in the U.S., France, the U.K., Russia, Korea, Saudi Arabia, and anywhere else whose desire is to help. The situation is bleaker than we on the outside can imagine, and we must provide assistance however we can. To ensure a future that has less of this kind of drama, it is important that we now demand that our leaders and governments be honest, transparent, fair, and productively engaged. They must answer to the people. Please stand up to stop Ebola testing and the spread of this dastardly disease.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Dr. Cyril E. Broderick, Sr.

World population to hit 11bn in 2100 – with 70% chance of continuous rise.

Leave a reply

The world’s population is now odds-on to swell ever-higher for the rest of the century, posing grave challenges for food supplies, healthcare and social cohesion. A ground-breaking analysis released on Thursday shows there is a 70% chance that the number of people on the planet will rise continuously from 7bn today to 11bn in 2100.

The work overturns 20 years of consensus that global population, and the stresses it brings, will peak by 2050 at about 9bn people. “The previous projections said this problem was going to go away so it took the focus off the population issue,” said Prof Adrian Raftery, at the University of Washington, who led the international research team. “There is now a strong argument that population should return to the top of the international agenda. Population is the driver of just about everything else and rapid population growth can exacerbate all kinds of challenges.” Lack of healthcare, poverty, pollution and rising unrest and crime are all problems linked to booming populations, he said.

“Population policy has been abandoned in recent decades. It is barely mentioned in discussions on sustainability or development such as the UN-led sustainable development goals,” said Simon Ross, chief executive of Population Matters, a thinktank supported by naturalist Sir David Attenborough and scientist James Lovelock. “The significance of the new work is that it provides greater certainty. Specifically, it is highly likely that, given current policies, the world population will be between 40-75% larger than today in the lifetime of many of today’s children and will still be growing at that point,” Ross said.

Many widely-accepted analyses of global problems, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s assessment of global warming, assume a population peak by 2050.

Sub-saharan Africa is set to be by far the fastest growing region, with population rocketing from 1bn today to between 3.5bn and 5bn in 2100. Previously, the fall in fertility rates that began in the 1980s in many African countries was expected to continue but the most recent data shows this has not happened. In countries like Nigeria, the continent’s most populous nation, the decline has stalled completely with the average woman bearing six children. Nigeria’s population is expected to soar from 200m today to 900m by 2100.

The cause of the stalled fertility rate is two-fold, said Raftery: a failure to meet the need for contraception and a continued preference for large families. “The unmet need for contraception – at 25% of women – has not changed in for 20 years,” he said. The preference for large families is linked to lack of female education which limits women’s life choices, said Raftery. In Nigeria, 28% of girls still do not complete primary education.

Another key factor included for the first time was new data on the HIV/AIDS epidemic showing it is not claiming as many lives as once anticipated. “Twenty years ago the impact on population was absolutely gigantic,” Raftery said. “Now the accessibility of antiretroviral drugs is much greater and the epidemic appeared to have passed its peak and was not quite as bad as was feared.”

The research, conducted by an international team including UN experts, is published in the journal Science and for the first time uses advanced statistics to place convincing upper and lower limits on future population growth. Previous estimates were based on judgments of future trends made by researchers, a “somewhat vague and subjective” approach, said Raftery. This predicted the world’s population would range somewhere between 7bn and 16bn by 2100. “This interval was so huge to be essentially meaningless and therefore it was ignored,” he said.

But the new research narrows the future range to between 9.6bn and 12.3bn by 2100. This greatly increased certainty – 80% – allowed the researchers to be confident that global population would not peak any time during in the 21st century.

Another population concern is the ageing populations currently seen in Europe and Japan, which raises questions about how working populations will support large numbers of elderly people. But the new research shows the same issue will affect countries whose populations are very young today. Brazil, for example, currently has 8.6 people of working age for every person over 65, but that will fall to 1.5 by 2100, well below the current level in Japan. China and India will face the same issue as Brazil, said Raftery: “The problem of ageing societies will be on them, in population terms, before they know it and their governments should be making plans.”

In separate work, published on Monday, Wolfgang Lutz, director of the Vienna Institute of Demography, highlighted education as crucial in not only reducing birth rates but also enabling people to prosper even while populations are growing fast. In Ghana, for example, women without education have an average of 5.7 children, while women with secondary education have 3.2 and women with tertiary education only 1.5. But he said: “It is not primarily the number of people that’s important in population policy, it’s what they are capable of, their level of education, and their health.”

Ejo taliki 17 Nzeri 2014, Dr Ntawukuriryayo yegujwe ku mwanya w’umuyobozi wa Sena . Gutinda ku mpamvu zaba zarateye uko “kwegura-yeguzwa” byasa no kwirengagiza amateka y’imikorere ya FPR-Inkotanyi ! Muri make igihe cya Ntawukuriryayo cyari kirangiye. Uko azamera sibyo FPR yitayeho. Gusa biragaragara ko urumutegereje ari rubi kuko bisa n’aho barangije kumupangira ibyaha kugira ngo ibyo yakoreye igihugu kugeza ubu byose bimupfire ubusa. (soma Igihe.com ) Mu kanya gato araba afunzwe, ashinjwe jenoside, kugambana, gusahura igihugu cyangwa byose hamwe. Mu kanya ko guhumbya ijisho ibyo yariye byose araba amaze kubirutswa, baramuteza Banki ziteze ibye cyamunara…. asigare yambaye ibyo yavukanye ! Gukorera FPR ni uguheka impyisi ! Ntawukuriryayo niyihangane awunywe ! Sinjye wahera.

1.Igikenewe ni intebe Ntawukuriryayo yari yicayeho.

Mu by’ukuri icyo FPR-Kagame ikeneye muri iki gihe ni iriya ntebe Ntawukururyayo yari yaricajweho nka Perezida wa Sena. Kuba uriya mwanya FPR ihisemo kuwusubirana,biraduhishurira ku buryo budasubirwaho “stratégie” ya Kagame ku byerekeye AMATORA y’umukuru w’igihugu yo mu 2017.

Kugira ngo dushobore kumva neza icyo FPR ishaka kugeraho, reka tubanze twibukiranye ikibazo nyakuri kiriho. Icyo kibazo ni iki ngiki:

“Ingingo y’101 y’Itegekonshinga Repubulika y’u Rwanda igenderaho muri iki gihe iteganya ko : “Perezida wa Repubulika atorerwa manda y’imyaka irindwi. Ashobora kongera gutorwa inshuro imwe. Nta na rimwe umuntu yemererwa gutorerwa manda zirenze ebyiri ku mwanya wa Perezida wa Repubulika”. Ko Perezida Kagame azarangiza manda ye ya kabiri mu 2017, yaba yiteguye kwubahiriza iryo tegeko akareka abandi bakiyamamariza kuyobora u Rwanda “ ?

Ikibazo nyakuri(le problème) ni aha kiri , ibindi byose ni ukwiganirira . Kugeza ubu havuzwe byinshi. Bamwe mu bantu b’akarimi karekare nibo bakomeje gukoreshwa mu ruhame ngo barasaba Kagame kuzongera kwiyamamaza ngo kuko nta wundi washobora kuyobora u Rwanda! Abaministri bazobereye mu mwuga wo kuba Inkomamashyi nka Musa Fazili Harerimana nabo ntibahwemye kumena rubanda amatwi ngo barasaba ko itegekonshinga ryasuzugurwa Kagame akongera kwiyamamaza ! Tuzi neza ko Abayobozi b’imirenge barangije guhabwa imyitozo y’uko bazafatira abaturage icyuma ku ijosi kugira ngo muri Referendum bazatore uguhindurwa kw’itegekonshinga batumva batabona !

Hejuru y’ibyo byose , nyirubwite(Kagame) ntacyo yigeze atangaza gifatika, yakomeje guheza abantu mu cyeragati. Gusa ikimenyetso simusiga kitabura gutamaza imigambi yifitemo ni uko kugeza uyu munsi ntacyo yakoze ngo afashe ishyaka rye(FPR) gutegura undi muntu wazamusimbura ! Ahubwo abagize ingorane zo kugaragara nk’abasimbura bafite ireme, baburiwe irengero !

Ukweguzwa kwa Perezida wa sena n’ugusimbuzwa kwe kije cyiyongera ku bindi nk’ikimenyetso gikomeye kigiye kuduhishurira ibyo Kagame apanga bijyanye n’ugusimburwa kwe ku mwanya w’umukuru w’igihugu. Nanone ariko kugira ngo tubyumve neza ni ngombwa kubanza kwiyibutsa muri make agaciro ka Sena na Perezida wayo.

2.Ububasha bwa Sena na Perezida wayo

Ingingo y’107 y’Itegekonshinga ryo mu 2003 igena bumwe mu bubasha bwa Perezida wa Sena muri aya magambo : “ iyo Perezida wa Repubulika apfuye, yeguye cyangwa agize impamvu zimubuza burundu gukomeza imirimo ye, asimburwa by’agateganyo na Perezida wa Sena, ataboneka agasimburwa na Perezida w’Umutwe w’abadepite; iyo abo bombi batabonetse, imirimo ya Perezida wa Repubulika ikorwa by’agateganyo na Minisitiri w’Intebe”

Naho ingingo ya 88 igateganya ko mu bubasha bwa Sena harimo :

“ Mu birebana n’amategeko, Sena ifite ububasha bwo gutora : 1° amategeko yerekeye ivugurura ry’Itegeko Nshinga ; 2°amategeko ngenga ; 7° amategeko areba amatora na referendumu”

Nta gushidikanya , Ntawukuriryayo, nka Perezida wa Sena , azize AMATORA y’umukuru w’igihugu azaba mu 2017. Uyu mwanya ufite ububasha bukomeye mu kugena amaherezo ya Paul Kagame: kuba yakomeza kuyobora cyangwa agahatirwa kwegama.

Niyo mpamvu ukweguzwa n’ugusimbuzwa kwa Ntawukuryayo bigiye kutwereka neza icyo Paul Kagame ashaka n’icyo ateganya.

Mu by’ukuri mu gushaka igisubizo dukoresheje isesengura risanzwe turasanga hariho Senario eshatu zishoboka :

(1)Kagame arashaka guhindura Itegekonshinga ngo akunde atorerwe indi manda;

(2)Kagame arashaka kwegura agasimburwa n’uwo yishakiye;

(3)Kagame agiye gukorerwa Kudeta .

Senario ya mbere : Guhindura Itegekonshinga.

Paul Kagame arashaka ko Ingingo y’101 y’itegeko nshinga ihindurwa hanyuma akiyamamariza manda ya gatatu , ndetse akaziyongeza n’iya kane n’iya gatanu…..nta nkomyi.

Gusa mu gihugu, hari benshi mu bafasha be bahafi, ari abasivili ari n’abasilikari , batemera ko Kagame yasuzugura itegekonshinga, kuko babona neza ingaruka mbi bishobora kugira ku mutekano w’igihugu. Aba bifuza impinduka nibo Perezida Kagame yiyemeje kurimburana n’imizi n’imiganda muri iyi minsi. Uwa mbere wavuze ku mugaragaro ko Kagame agomba kubahiriza Itegekonshinga akareka abandi nabo bakiyamamaza ni uwahoze ari Ministri w’Ubutabera Bwana Karugarama Tharcisse. Abandi bashinjwa icyo gitekerezo ni Abasilikari bakuru bamaze iminsi bafungirwa icyaha cyo “ kugambanira Perezida Kagame n’umuryango we” . Abandi bazira icyo cyaha ni liyetona koloneli Rosa Kabuye n’abadamu b’inshuti ze ubu bari mu mazi abira(reba Rushyashya.net). Ministri w’Intebe Pierre Damien ntituramenya niba atari icyo yazize.

Ntawukuriryayo rero aje yiyongera ku bandi kandi si we ubaye uwa nyuma mu kwigizwayo kuko abashobora kubangamira iki cyemezo bose bagomba kwirukanwa mu myanya barimo, gufungwa cyangwa kwicwa.

Muri iyi senario, mu gusimbuza Ntawukuriryayo, Kagame azatoranya abantu nka mubyara we Bernard Makuza, kugira ngo afashe mu guhindura itegeko nshinga nta ngorane. Tito Rutaremera winjijwe muri Sena vuba aha ,akaba ariwe mucurabwengenge wa FPR ugeretseho no kuba umusaza usaziye mu kinyoma, akongeraho no kuba intagereranywa mu kuba Inkomamashyi ! Undi ushoboka ni nka Honorable Bamporiki Edouard cyangwa undi umuhutu wese wa birihanze, uzemera gukora ibyo bamutegetse, atagisha imitima inama.

Senario ya kabiri : Ukwegura kwa Paul Kagame

Paul Kagame azwi nk’umuntu wihesha agaciro cyane. Aramutse yarakiriye ko agomba kurekura ubutegetsi, ntiyagomba gutegereza ko asezererwa n’Itegeko nshinga, ahubwo yahitamo kwerekana ko ari umudemocrate utihambira ku butegetsi bityo akegura ku bwende bwe mbere y’uko manda ye irangira. Abikoze atya yaba agamije gushyira ku ruhande rwe amahirwe y’ubwoko bubiri

*Gusimburwa n’uwo yihitiyemo(umugore ukiri muto ?!)

*Kurindagiza abamurwanya (cyane cyane abakorera hanze y’u Rwanda) kuko batabona umwanya uhagije wo kwitegura amatora yo kumusimbura.

Nk’uko biteganywa n’ingigo y’107 y’Itegekonshinga , iyo Perezida wa Repubulika yeguye amatora yo kumusimbuza agomba gukorwa mu gihe kitarenze iminsi 90!!!! Abatarandikisha amashyaka yabo mu Rwanda baba bariraye !

Muri iyi senario hari abantu babiri batorwamo usimbura Ntawukuriryayo:

(1)Uw’ibanze ni Madamu Janeti Kagame wagirwa umusenateri byihuse agahita atorerwa kuyobora Sena. Bityo umudamu ukiri muto akazahita asimbura Paul Kagame ! Abibwira ko bitashoboka bibuke ko Perezida Museveni aherutse gushyira umugore we bwite muri guverinoma akamugira Ministre !!!

(2)Mubyara wa Kagame ariwe Bernard Makuza, kugira ngo abe Perezida mu gihe Kagame yitegura kuzasubirana ibye muri manda ikurikiraho, mbese nk’ibyo twabonye mu Burusiya hagati ya Putine na Medvedev.

Senariyo ya gatatu : Paul Kagame agiye gukorerwa Coup d’Etat.

Haramutse hari Abasilikari bateganya gukora kudeta nabo bashobora kugira inyungu mu kwigezayo Ntawukuriryayo kugira ngo asimburwe hakari kare n’umuntu bihitiyemo uzasimbura Perezida Kagame mu nzibacyuho,agakora ibyo bashaka. Icyo gihe Ntawukuriryayo yasimburwa n’ umuntu ufitanye isano ya hafi n’abasilikari bakuru .Reka tubihange amaso .

Umwanzuro

Ibiri kuba muri politiki y’u Rwanda si akajagari nk’uko bamwe babyibeshyaho ! Ni umukino wizwe neza kandi ufite icyo ugamije. Simvuze ko ari umukino mwiza kuko bigaragara ko ari umukino usesa amaraso, utaretse n’amaraso y’abavandimwe ! Ikiri ukuri ni uko kwitegura AMATORA yo mu 2017 bitoroheye Kagame n’Agatsiko ke. Bazi neza ko rubanda iramutse ibyiyemeje yabatera hejuru igashyiraho abategetsi bashya yishakiye .Ibi rero biri kubatesha umutwe, baritonde badata imyenda hakiri kare.

Mu gushaka kugundira ubutegetsi hakoreshejwe amanyanga n’ubugome, FPR ishobora kwisanga yasandaye bidasubirwaho, dore na Yezu ubwe yarabihanuye ngo “Iyo ingoma yasubiranyemo iba yarimbutse…”!

Hagati aho natwe abiyemeje gufatanya na rubanda ngo tugire uruhare muri ariya matora, uko byagenda kose, TURI MASO !

Rwanda Football team disqualified by CAF over a player’s faked identity.

Leave a reply

In Rwanda he is Birori Daddy, in DR Congo he is Etekiama Agiti Tady

Rwanda international Birori Dady has been banned from football for two years by the Confederation of African Football for holding two registrations with different details.

As well as a Rwandan passport, Dady also has a DR Congo passport under the name of Etekiama Agiti Tady, with different dates of birth on each.

Dady plays for AS Vita Club using his DR Congo passport and the name Tady.

His suspension is a huge blow for the player and his club, who have a two-legged Champions League semi-final against CS Sfaxien later this month.

In August CAF suspended Dady until further notice and disqualified Rwanda from the 2015 Africa Cup Nations qualifiers for fielding an ineligible player.

That initial ruling followed a protest made by the Congo Brazzaville Football Federation after Dady featured in the first leg of the second round qualifier between the nations last month in Pointe-Noir.

Rwanda had beaten Congo on penalties over two legs to reach the group phase but it instead the beaten side progressed to Group A of qualifying for the next year’s finals in Morocco.

Congo have since gone on to win their opening two matches – including a 3-2 victory away to defending champions Nigeria – and are top of the table.

Although Rwanda had maintained that to their knowledge that the player had one identity, they lost an appeal against their disqualification.

CAF ruled that “the Rwandan federation was aware of this double identity but proceeded to feature the player for the national team while he held a different identity with the club”.

La guerre n’est pas la réponse.

Pape François

La guerre est une folie «dont l’humanité n’a pas encore appris la leçon». Avec le souvenir encore vif dans son cœur de la visite accomplie le jour précédent à Redipuglia, à l’Angelus du dimanche 14 septembre le Pape a également parlé des conflits «qui aujourd’hui encore sont en cours» dans diverses parties du monde. En se demandant «quand nous apprendrons cette leçon» que l’histoire continue à donner aux hommes sans résultats appréciables, il a invité «à regarder Jésus crucifié pour comprendre que la haine et le mal sont vaincus par le pardon et le bien», et pour comprendre une fois pour toutes «que la réponse de la guerre ne fait qu’augmenter le mal et la mort».

A ce propos, il a cité les « chiffres effrayants» de la Grande guerre — «on parle de près de 8 millions de jeunes soldats tombés et de près de 7 millions de personnes civiles» — et plusieurs drames qui frappent l’humanité en ce moment historique particulier: comme le conflit en cours en République centrafricaine, où aujourd’hui (lundì 15) commence officiellement la mission organisée par les Nations unies pour favoriser la pacification du pays et protéger la population. Le Pape a assuré de «l’engagement et de la prière de l’Eglise catholique» et encouragé «l’effort de la Communauté internationale», en souhaitant que «la violence cède la place au dialogue» et que «les factions opposées laissent de côté les intérêts particuliers et œuvrent afin que chaque citoyen, quelle que soit l’ethnie et la religion à laquelle il appartient, puisse collaborer» au bien commun.

Rappelant la fête liturgique de l’exaltation de la Sainte-Croix, la pensée émue du Pape François est en outre allée aux «nombreux frères et sœurs qui sont poursuivis et tués à cause de leur fidélité au Christ», en particulier «là où la liberté de religion n’est pas encore garantie ou pleinement mise en application».

Enfin, le Pape a confié à la protection de la Vierge Marie les vingt couples d’époux que, peu auparavant, il avait unis en mariage dans la basilique Vaticane.

Cadavres du lac Rweru: la présidence burundaise répond à HRW

Leave a reply

L’organisation de défense des droits de l’homme Human Rights Watch (HRW) avait appelé, mardi 16 septembre, les gouvernements rwandais et burundais à enquêter après la découverte de plusieurs corps sur les rives du lac Rweru, à la frontière entre les deux pays. La présidence du Burundi, par la voix de son conseiller en communication, Willy Nyamitwe, joint par RFI, assure que des enquêtes sont menées en synergie par les polices rwandaises et burundaises.

« On ne peut pas dire que les enquêtes sont au point mort », insiste le conseiller en communication du président burundais Pierre Nkurunziza.

« Les autorités burundaises et rwandaises sont en train de travailler en synergie pour essayer de comprendre ce qui s’est passé. Vous savez, quand vous voyez des corps en décomposition, ça crée des inquiétudes », poursuit Willy Nyamitwe.

Human Rights Watch ainsi que d’autres organisations de défense des droits de l’homme s’étaient étonnées que les corps retrouvés flottant sur le lac Rweru soient immédiatement enterrés, enlevant tout espoir d’identification des victimes.

Des risques sanitaires

« Ce n’est qu’une question de principe. Des corps qui sont déjà en décomposition doivent être enterrés », explique encore le conseiller à la présidence burundaise, évoquant des risques sanitaires pour les populations riveraines du lac.

RFI avait recueilli des témoignages au Burundi ainsi qu’au Rwanda de riverains et pêcheurs qui assuraient que ces corps provenaient de la rivière Akagera, située du côté rwandais de la frontière.

« La seule chose que nous pouvons confirmer, c’est que ces corps ne proviennent pas du Burundi, parce qu’ils ont été charriés par cette rivière », ajoute Willy Nyamitwe.

Le conseiller à la présidence du Burundi se refuse à tout commentaire concernant la provenance de ces corps « en attendant les résultats des investigations en cours ».

Willy Nyamitwe assure que les relations entre le Rwanda et le Burundi sont « au beau fixe ». Néanmoins, précise-t-il, « nous ne sacrifions aucune victime au nom de ces bonnes relations. Ce qui s’est passé est condamnable et le Burundi ne peut que s’associer à tout effort afin de déterminer ce qui s’est passé. Le Burundi est gêné, quand même, de continuer à enterrer des corps qui ne proviennent pas de notre territoire », a-t-il conclu.

ACQUITTED RWANDAN GENERAL TO GO TO BELGIUM

Leave a reply

General Augustin Ndindiliyimana

Belgium has granted a visa to former Rwandan gendarmerie boss Augustin Ndindiliyimana, who was acquitted of genocide by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), Hirondelle learned on Wednesday.

“General Ndindiliyimana has obtained a Belgian visa and is packing his suitcases,” said a source at the ICTR Registry who wished not to be named. This information was confirmed by other acquitted persons who spoke to Hirondelle in the corridors of the Tribunal.

Ndindiliyimana was convicted by a trial court in May 2011 and sentenced to 11 years in jail, but was acquitted by the ICTR Appeals Chamber last February.

He had been charged with crimes committed by his subordinates during the 1994 genocide, but the appeals judges found that he did not have effective control over the gendarmes that were deployed to fight rebels of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (now in power in Kigali) because they came under the command of the army chief of staff.

The judges also found that Ndindiliyimana, an officer from southern Rwanda who was also a Minister of Defence, opposed the massacres.

Relocating ICTR acquitted persons and convicts who have served their sentences is an ongoing headache for the Tribunal. These individuals refuse to return to Rwanda, saying they fear for their security.

As well as Ndindiliyimana, the ICTR houses and feeds eight acquitted persons and three who have served their sentences in the Tanzanian town of Arusha where it is based.

The UN Security Council has already adopted two resolutions calling on member states to host ICTR acquitted persons and convicts who have served their sentences, but these resolutions are not binding.

The ICTR Statute provides that states must cooperate in the arrest and transfer of accused persons, but it makes no mention of what should happen to acquitted persons and those who have served their sentences.

The eight acquitted in search of a host country include three former ministers, a general and a colonel as well as Protais Zigiranyirazo, brother-in-law of former president Juvénal Habyarimana whose assassination on April 6, 1994 triggered the Rwandan genocide.

They all want to join their families in Western countries.

The one who has been waiting the longest is former Transport Minister André Ntagerura who was acquitted in February 2004.

Five acquitted persons have been relocated up to now. France has taken two, while Switzerland, Belgium and Italy have each taken one.

La violence n’est jamais une réponse – Caritas internationalis sur la crise au Moyen-Orient

Leave a reply

De l’Irak à la Syrie et à la Bande de Gaza : la solution des conflits doit passer par le « dialogue », ou quoi qu’il en soit par « une autre voie » par rapport à « une violence supplémentaire ». C’est ce qu’a dit le cardinal archevêque de Tegucigalpa, Óscar Andrés Rodríguez Maradiaga, président de Caritas Internationalis, en ouvrant hier, lundi 15, à Rome, la rencontre de haut niveau dédiée à la crise au Moyen-Orient avec les présidents et les directeurs de la Caritas des pays impliqués et leurs partenaires internationaux.

Dans la conscience « d’être face à la plus grande crise que le monde affronte depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale », le cardinal a invité tous les gouvernements « à la cessation totale des envois d’armes dans les pays du Moyen-Orient », en réaffirmant que « la paix ne peut pas être imposée de l’extérieur, mais doit naître de l’intérieur » sur la base de la « justice sociale entre les personnes ».

La situation dramatique de la population est au centre des travaux, qui se concluent mercredi 17, avec l’objectif, comme l’a expliqué Michel Roy, secrétaire général de Caritas Internationalis, de «réfléchir ensemble sur quelle peut être la meilleure réponse, dans les prochains mois et années, à la tragédie qui frappe le Moyen-Orient, et sur comment on peut collaborer avec d’autres organisations de l’Eglise catholique ou en dehors d’elle pour promouvoir la paix et la stabilité dans la région ».

Actuellement, a rappelé le cardinal, « à chaque minute, quatre enfants syriens sont forcés d’abandonner leurs maisons. Les extrémistes en Irak et dans l’ouest de la Syrie sont en train d’étendre le nettoyage ethnique et religieux à une vaste zone sous leur contrôle. A Gaza, un demi-million d’enfants ne peuvent pas retourner à l’école parce que leurs classes ont été détruites. A Mossoul en Irak, la lettre N qui signifie Nazaréen, a été peinte sur les portes des maisons pour identifier les chrétiens puis les passer à tabac ou les tuer ». Environ 1,3 million d’Irakiens ont dû abandonner leurs maisons, les opérateurs de la Caritas eux-mêmes ont dû fuir. Et depuis le début de la crise en Syrie, plus de 13 millions de Syriens sont dans des conditions désespérées et 3 millions se sont réfugiés hors du pays, en Jordanie, au Liban, en Turquie.
