1. Abanyarwanda benshi bakuze ndetse n’abakiri batoya bita ku mateka nyayo y’igihugu cyacu bibuka itariki ya 28 Mutarama 1961, umunsi abenegihugu bari barambiwe ubucakara bwajyanaga n’ubutegetsi bwa cyami na gihake, bahuriye i Gitarama maze bagatora ko Repubulika ikuye bidasubirwaho ingoma ya cyami. Iyi ntambwe ikomeye yaje gushimangirwa n’amatora ya Kamarampaka yabaye tariki ya 25 Nzeri 1961, nuko guhera ubwo buri munyarwanda yaba umutwa, umuhutu cyangwa umututsi, yaba umwega cyangwa umuzigaba, agira uburenganzira bwo kuba yatorerwa kuyobora igihugu.

2. Ubu hashize imyaka igera kuri 25 iyo taliki nziza ya 28 Mutarama itibukwa mu Rwanda ngo ihabwe agaciro kayo ndetse idufashe kwibuka, kuzirikana no gushima Abanyarwanda b’intwari nka Geregori KAYIBANDA, Dominiko MBONYUMUTWA , Yozefu HABYARIMANA GITERA, MUNYANGAJU n’abandi Barwanashyaka b’imena bagaragaje ko iyo rubanda ibyiyemeje ishobora guhambiriza ingoma zigize akari-aha-kajyahe bityo uwahekwaga akigenza!

3. Abataripfana b’Ishyaka ISHEMA ry’u Rwanda bibuka kandi bagahimbazanya ibyishimo bikomeye uyu munsi bazirikana ibyiza bya Demokarasi yashubije rubanda ububasha bwo kwotorera abayobozi bikajyana no kwizihiza isabakuru y’umunsi iryo shyaka ryavutseho: hari ku itariki ya 28 Mutarama 2013, mu mujyi wa Paris ho mu Bufaransa.

4.  Reka twibutse ko Kongere y’ishyaka ISHEMA yateranye muri Mutarama 2014 yahisemo kandi tariki ya 28 Mutarama 2016 nk’umunsi wo kujya gukorera politiki mu Rwanda mu rwego rwo kwegera rubanda kugira ngo impinduka nziza Abanyarwanda basonzeye zigerweho binyuze mu nzira y’amahoro ishingiye ku biganiro bidafifitse. Uyu mwanzuro wanashimangiwe na Kongere yo muri Mutarama 2015 yagennye n’ikipe y’Abataripfana bazajya mu Rwanda baherekeje umukandida w’ishyaka ISHEMA ry’u Rwanda mu matora ya perezida wa Repubulika yo mu 2017. Kongere y’ishyaka ISHEMA ry’u Rwanda ni rwo rwego rw’ikirenga. Nta rundi rwego rushobora gusubira ku cyemezo yafashe dore ko imyanzuro ya Kongere iba ari amategeko ( Décrets) agomba kubahirizwa n’abagize Ishyaka.

5. Nanone kandi Kongere y’ishyaka ISHEMA ry’u Rwanda iherutse guteranira i Buruseli mu Bubiligi kuva tariki ya 15 kugeza kuya 17 Mutarama 2016 yashimye imyiteguro imaze gukorwa mu rwego rwo kujya gukorera politiki mu Rwanda hagamijwe guha rubunda amahirwe yo gusubirana uburenganzira bwo kwitorera abayobozi nta gitugu n’iterabwoba bashyizweho  . Abataripfana bari muri Kongere bagiye impaka , bajya inama ku mpungenge zagaragajwe n’Abanyarwanda b’ingeri zose cyane cyane abari mu Rwanda maze bemeza imyanzuro yatangajwe tariki ya 17 Mutarama 2016

6. Usibye umwanzuro wo kujya gukorera politiki mu Rwanda wakomeje gushimangirwa nk’ihame ridakuka, Kongere yasanze ku bw’ineza y’Abanyarwanda cyane cyane Abakunzi b’Ishyaka Ishema bari mu hihugu hakwiye guterwa intambwe ya ngombwa yo kubanza kugerageza kuganira n’ubutegetsi buriho kugira ngo urwikekwe rw’uko Abataripfana bagenzwa no gusenya igihugu ruvanweho burundu.

7. Ni muri urwo rwego umwanzuro wa kabiri ugira uti: “Twongeye gushimangira ko Opozisiyo twiyemeje gukora idakwiye gufatwa nk’urubuga rwo kujya impaka za “ngo turwane”, gufunga umutwe no kwima amatwi abo tutavuga rumwe, ahubwo nibimenyekane ko icyo tugamije ari ugutanga ibitekerezo byubaka twirinda kuryamira ukuri kandi twihatira kugaragaza no gusobanura umushinga w’uko tuzayobora igihugu mu gihe rubanda izaba imaze kuduhundagazaho amajwi. (Opposition ouverte et constructive).”

8.Niyo mpamvu mu kwihatira gushyira mu bikorwa imyanzuro ya Kongere, twatangiye ibikorwa binyuranye byo kugerageza kuganira n’ubutegetsi bwa Leta ya Kigali kuko tudashaka gutaha mu Rwatubyaye dusa n’abagabye igitero. Turizera ko igisubizo kitazatinda.

9.N’ubwo tugitegereje igisubizo cy’ubutegetsi bwa Kigali, imyiteguro yo kugenda yo yararangiye. Bityo mu gihe Leta ya Kigali yaba itadusubije cyangwa se ikanga ko tuganira ntibizatubuza kujya mu Rwanda guharanira uburenganzira bwacu.

10.Intambwe yo gusezera abo twabanye mu mahanga izaterwa mu minsi itarambiranye.

11. Turifuriza Abanywarwanda bose umunsi mukuru mwiza wa Demokarasi, by’umwihariko turifuriza ABATARIPFANA bose isabukuru nziza.

Muhorane UKURI, UBUTWARI no GUSARANGANYA ibyiza by’igihugu.

ISHEMA PARTY CONGRESS RESOLUTIONS: OUR DECISION TO RETURN TO RWANDA TO EXERCISE OUR POLITICAL RIGHTS REMAINS UNSHAKABLE

Leave a reply

ishema-congres-menHaving intensely discussed, exchanged views on, and analyzed two main points on the agenda of the Congress which were:

(a)To finalize our plan to go and exercise our political rights in Rwanda: political agenda, objectives and steps to follow;

(b)To design the necessary strategies to be used by Rwandans as a tool to dissuade Paul Kagame from rigging the third term which he wants to take forcefully;

*Based on our principles of TRUTH, INTREPIDNESS and SOCIAL JUSTICE ;

*Considering the views, wishes and worries presented to us by the Rwandans during the preparation of this Congress;

*Taking into account the current political environment in Rwanda, the security situation within the region of the Great Lakes of Africa and the ongoing international diplomatic concerns;

We, twenty-seven members of ISHEMA Party gathered in our Congress in Brussels from the 15th to 17th of January 2016;

I. DO SOLEMNLY DECLARE THE FOLLOWING:

1.We confirm once again that we strongly support the resolution to go and exercise politics in Rwanda as concluded by the first Congress of ISHEMA Party held in January 2014 and confirmed by the second Congress held in February 2015. We undoubtedly underline that going to Rwanda to exercise our political rights is unshakable.

2.We urge the public to note that the opposition we make should never interpreted as an opportunity to make trouble or to neglect and disrespect our opponent, on contrary let it be known by everybody that our intention is to give our democratic constructive criticism, speaking the truth and striving to explain our political agenda as alternative and how we intend to govern the country after the people of Rwanda will have voted for us.

3.We underline the importance of our approach to resolve conflicts peacefully via the genuine dialogue since it does not destroy the nation and gives opportunity to every citizen to actively participate in the political life without terror especially through free and fair electoral process. This is the only way we can bring back to Rwandans the hope of the sustainable peace.

4.We believe that the problem of refugees deserves a special attention and must be truly debated so as to provide an appropriate and definitive solution for it.

5.We encourage all well intentioned Rwandans to join the “ANTI THIRD TERM RALLY” in order to proceed with real actions aimed at dissuading Paul Kagame from the third term he wants to rig in violation of the rwandan Constitution as revised in December 2015.

6.We call upon all the citizens within Rwanda to support and join the UNSTOPPABLE DEMONSTRATION that will move from the Southern, Northern, Eastern and Western provinces to contest Paul Kagame’s intention to rig the third term.

7.We strongly condemn belligerent politics institutionalized by the Rwandan leaders within the Great Lakes of Africa: by fueling continuous wars in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, starting, training and supporting terrorist groups to destabilize the republic of Burundi and provocation against the leaders of Tanzania.

II. OUR GOAL WILL BE REACHED THROUGH THE FOLLOWING SEVEN (7) STEPS:

1.Although we are ready to go and start exercising our political rights in Rwanda from January 28th 2016, we do not want to enter our homeland like people launching an armed attack. We rather prefer start by trying to dialogue with the Government of Rwanda. To that end, we set up a delegation that is ready to go to Kigali for the dialogue with the leadership in place.

rwanda mission

2.We will keep our contacts with the countries partnering with Rwanda and approaching the leaders of neighboring countries in the Great Lakes Region of Africa in order to explain and ask their support towards our agenda.

3.Speeding up the talks we started with other opposition political parties in order to expose to them our project and explore ways of collaboration.

4.Approaching the Rwandan refugees from all over the world to sensitize them for joining real actions aimed at a quick political change in our country so that all causes of refuge are uprooted once for all.

We therefore nominate Mr Emmanuel MUGENZI as Commissioner in charge of Australia and New Zealand.

5.Proceeding to the registration of ISHEMA Party for recognition by the Rwandan laws.

6.Receiving views, ideas and advices of the Rwandans on the national territory and show them the development projects we have for them and exhort them to support our political agenda actively.

7.Participating in the presidential elections to take place in 2017 and the parliamentary elections of 2018. We take this opportunity to remind that our Congress held in Paris in January 2014 elected Reverend Father Thomas NAHIMANA as our party’s flag bearer ( Candidate) in 2017 presidentials. The names of our candidates for 2018 legislatives will be communicated in due time.

Therefore,

III . FROM THE RWANDANS AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY , WE REQUEST :

A. FROM THE RWANDANS:

1. All kinds of support since our task is both far reaching and challenging. We particularly call upon all the Rwandans on national territory to overcome the terror and join our peaceful struggle. ISHEMA party members also known as ABATARIPFANA from province, district, sectors and community levels are there to help you for mobilization.

2. To join the New Generation Leaders. Especially, the youth are urged to come to us so as combine efforts for building a future fair to everyone.

3. We particularly persuade President Paul Kagame to accept the dialogue with our delegation so that the political change deservedly requested by Rwandans takes place smoothly without necessity to opt for armed struggles. We all shall benefit.

B. FROM THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY:

1. To monitor closely the political environment within Rwanda and take the responsibility of peacekeeping if need be.

2. To keep supporting the New Generation vision and agenda.

Long live Republic and Democracy

Long live the Rwandan people ready to manage conflicts through peaceful means and dialogue.

Done at Brussels this day 17 of January 2016.

Media Note

Office of the Spokesperson
Washington, DC
January 11, 2016

 

U.S. Special Envoy for the Great Lakes Region of Africa Thomas Perriello departs today for an extended trip that will include stops in Brussels, Belgium; Rome, Italy; Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; Kigali, Rwanda; Bukavu, Goma, and Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC); Bujumbura, Burundi; and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The trip is focused on supporting regional efforts to resolve the crisis in Burundi and to support upcoming elections in the DRC.

The U.S. Government strongly supports the regionally-mediated Burundian dialogue relaunched on December 28, 2015, and is urging all stakeholders to remain committed to the process without preconditions. An inclusive dialogue remains the best route for peacefully resolving the crisis in Burundi and restoring the stability achieved by the Arusha Agreement. The Special Envoy will engage with Burundian stakeholders and East African Community (EAC) leadership about next steps for advancing the dialogue, including moving the dialogue to Arusha, Tanzania.

The United States is committed to supporting the DRC in holding elections per the constitution. The Special Envoy will meet with Congolese stakeholders to discuss next steps in the electoral process and the importance of respecting human rights throughout an electoral cycle, including the rights to peacefully assemble and to free speech. While in the DRC, the Special Envoy will also continue to work to resolve the impasse over adoptions and engage with stakeholders working to counter the illegal trade in Congolese natural resources and promote conflict-free minerals.

The trip will culminate in Addis Ababa, where the Special Envoy will join the U.S. delegation to the African Union Summit.

NO THIRD TERM : Even after the maneuvered Referendum, Paul Kagame’s candidature remains unconstitutional !

Leave a reply

ishema ibenddera

PRESS STATEMENT

Even after the maneuvered Referendum, according to the new Constitution, Paul Kagame’s candidature remains unconstitutional

 

  1. Notwithstanding the propaganda orchestrated by Paul Kagame team, his ordered constitutional reform followed by the controversial referendum that took place on 18th of December 2015 and declared won with an historic 98,3% score, Paul Kagame’s reelection remains constitutionally baseless 
    .
  2. By analytically reviewing the Articles 101 and 172 of the revised Constitution, one realizes that Paul Kagame has no right whatsoever to run a campaign for his third term.
  3. However, during his new year’s message, Paul Kagame has just declared his candidacy for the 2017 upcoming presidential elections, therefore suddenly and definitely making himself an «unconstitutional» candidate.

Subsequently, the leading Team of ISHEMA Party declares the following:

I.Article 101 revised

  1. Before the revision, the article 101 of the 2003  Rwandan Constitution, posited:

«The President of the Republic is elected for a term of seven years renewable only once.

Under no circumstances shall a person hold the office of President of Republic for more than two terms”.

And following is the Article 101 written in the revised Constitution of December 2015:

«The President of the Republic is elected for a five (5) year term. He or she may be re-elected once ».

  1. So far the constitutional reform sets up the sole change from a seven-year to a five-year presidential term whilst maintaining dearly the principle of no more than two terms. It is noteworthy that the simple transition from the seven-year to five-year presidential term does not in any way permit Paul Kagame to run for presidency at the end of his second term.

 

II. Article 172 newly designed

  1. A unique article was introduced seemingly with the aim to grant Paul Kagame a special status by allowing him the possibility to run for the third term, and tentatively stick with power until 2034. Nevertheless after diverse maneuverings the legal text is more than crystal clear: it simply does not allow Paul Kagame to run for a third term.

Here is the text of the famous Article 172:

« The President of the Republic in office at the time this revised Constitution comes into force continues to serve the term of office for which he was elected.

Without prejudice to Article 101 of this Constitution, considering the petitions submitted by Rwandans that preceded the coming into force of this revised Constitution, which were informed by the particular challenges of Rwanda’s tragic history and the choice made to overcome them, the progress so far achieved and the desire to lay a firm foundation for sustainable development, a seven (7) year presidential term of office is established and shall follow the completion of the term of office referred to in the first paragraph of this Article.

The provisions of Article 101 of this Constitution shall take effect after the seven (7) year term of office referred to in the second paragraph of this Article”.

2.Therefore, this article sets the orders as follows:

  • A single seven-year term before the implementation of the five-year terms regime
  • The incumbent president during the constitutional revision shall pursue his term until it is over (2017), this being applicable as well to all members of the parliament in both chambers.

That is all. No paragraph does grant an exception to the current president to run for the third term at the end of the second.

III. The principle of legal non-retroactivity in application

1.The Rwandan Constitution revised in December 2015, published in the official gazette in its special issue on the 24th December 2015 and implemented from the same day, does not hold the annihilation capacity upon  Kagame’s two previous terms. It on contrary recognizes the two terms by confirming that Kagame should pursue his current term. See the first paragraph of Article 172.

2. As such, the revised Constitution having failed to neither create new rights nor exceptional provisions for the incumbent, Paul Kagame’s tentative candidacy must always respect the principle of presidential term limits.

3.Paul Kagame shall not run for the third presidential term constitutionally baseless.

4. For that, by unexpectedly announcing his candidature, eighteen months before future electoral timing, President Paul Kagame is caught red handed in violation of the Rwandan Constitution.

IV. To the International Community, the partners of Rwanda, the organizations of human, civil and political rights as well as all friends of Democracy, we recommend:

Reaction to Rwandan President’s Decision To Run for Third Term

Press Statement

John Kirby
Spokesperson, Bureau of Public Affairs
Washington, DC
January 2, 2016

The United States is deeply disappointed that President Paul Kagame has announced his intention to run for a third term in office.

With this decision, President Kagame ignores an historic opportunity to reinforce and solidify the democratic institutions the Rwandan people have for more than twenty years labored so hard to establish.

The United States believes constitutional transitions of power are essential for strong democracies and that efforts by incumbents to change rules to stay in power weaken democratic institutions. We are particularly concerned by changes that favor one individual over the principle of democratic transitions.

As Rwanda moves toward local elections this year, presidential elections next year, and parliamentary elections in 2018, we call upon the Government of Rwanda to ensure and respect the rights of its citizens to exercise their freedom of expression, conscience, and peaceful assembly — the hallmarks of true democracies.

The United States remains committed to supporting the free and full participation of the Rwandan people in the electoral processes ahead.
