African States: Reject Immunity for Leaders

141 Groups in 40 Countries Speak Out

Kenneth Roth, Director of Human Rights Watch

“The immunity provision is a regrettable departure from the AU’s Constitutive Act, which rejects impunity under article 4. Immunity takes away the prospect that victims can access justice at the African court when leaders commit atrocities. African states should take a clear stand opposing this immunity.”
George Kegoro, executive director of the International Commission of Jurists-Kenya
(Johannesburg) – African countries should reject immunity for sitting leaders for grave crimes before the African Court for Justice and Human Rights, 141 organizations said today in a declaration in advance of an African Union meeting in Nairobi. The organizations include both African groups and international groups and have a presence in 40 African countries.

The African Union (AU) Office of the Legal Counsel is convening a meeting in Nairobi on August 25 and 26, 2014, with government officials of AU member countries in East Africa to promote ratification of AU treaties. Discussions, which will take place at the Hilton Hotel , are expected to include a newly adopted protocol to extend the African Court’s jurisdiction to trials of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, while providing immunity for sitting leaders and other senior officials. The protocol to expand the authority of the African Court was adopted at the 23rd African Union summit, in Malabo in June.

“The immunity provision is a regrettable departure from the AU’s Constitutive Act, which rejects impunity under article 4,” said George Kegoro, executive director of the International Commission of Jurists-Kenya. “Immunity takes away the prospect that victims can access justice at the African court when leaders commit atrocities. African states should take a clear stand opposing this immunity.”

The adopted Protocol on Amendments to the Protocol on the Statute of the African Court of Justice and Human Rights is the first legal instrument to extend a regional court’s authority to criminal jurisdiction over genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The protocol also covers 11 additional crimes and notably provides for an independent defense office.

But Article 46A bis of the amendments provides immunity for sitting leaders, stating: “No charges shall be commenced or continued…against any serving African Union Head of State or Government, or anybody acting or entitled to act in such capacity, or other senior state officials based on their functions, during their tenure of office.”

The statutes of international and hybrid international-national war crimes tribunals reject exemptions on the basis of official capacity. Other international conventions, including the Convention against Torture, the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, and the Geneva Conventions of 1949, recognize the crucial importance of accountability for serious crimes.

“Granting immunity to sitting officials is retrogressive, and risks giving leaders license to commit crimes,” and Timothy Mtambo executive director at Malawi’s Centre for Human Rights and Rehabilitation. “Immunity also risks encouraging those accused of the crimes to cling to their positions to avoid facing the law.”

Some African countries like Benin, Burkina Faso, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, and South Africa rule out immunity for sitting officials for serious crimes under their national laws, the groups said.

This text of the group declaration was drafted by Malawi’s Center for Human Rights and Rehabilitation, with input from several African organizations and international organizations with a presence in Africa.

“Instead of retreating from important achievements to limit impunity, advance the rule of law, and promote respect for human rights, African governments should remain steadfast in supporting justice for victims of the worst crimes by rejecting immunity before the African Court,” said Angela Mudukuti, international criminal justice project lawyer at the Southern Africa Litigation Centre.

Umwana wagizwe impfubyi na FPR yarakajwe n’imvugo ya Ange Kagame ngo “sinabaho ntafite umuryango wanjye”.

Ange Kagame niwe mukobwa wenyine Kagame afite.

Nshuti Ange Kagame, imfura mu bakobwa b’u Rwanda,

Nyemerera nkwandikire mu rurimi rw’icyongereza, ni kimwe mu bintu bibi so wakubyaye yampatiye kubana na byo. Nabwiwe ko ababyeyi banjye bakomoka muri komine Kiyombe, kamwe mu karere so wakubyaye yahaye ibihano ku byaha bitakozwe. Mfite imyaka 24, kandi ndizera ko niba maneko za papa wawe nizidashakisha inimero ya mudasobwa yanjye ngo zinyice ndi hafi kwizihiza isabukuru y’imyaka 25 vuba aha. Ariko nyamara iyo siyo mpamvu yo kukwandikira. Ibaruwa yanjye iribanda cyane ku rugendo rwanyu muri Leta zunze ubumwe z’Amerika, no kuri papa wawe nka perezida w’igihugu cyanjye.

Ikiganiro wagiranye na Igihe.com

Nyuma y’uruzinduko wakoranye na papa wawe I Washington, nta shiti umubyeyi wawe yageze kucyo yashakaga. Yifuzaga ko itangazamakuru mpuzamahanga rikumenya kandi yabigezeho. Rwose nabishimirwe papa wawe n’uburyo akoresha mu kwiyamamaza. Ubonye iyaba yashoboraga no kubikorera umurenge wanjye wa Mukarange!? Twahita tubona amazi yo kunywa mu gitondo. Ariko rero ikiganiro cyawe na Igihe .com cyatumye ntekereza cyane aho bakubajije ikintu udashobora kwihanganira kubaho udafite. Igisubizo watanze cyari gihwitse rwose.

Waravuze ngo “sinshobora kubaho ntafite umuryango wange.” Nyemerera ngukosore kuko mu Kinyarwanda ntituvuga “wange” ahubwo tuvuga “wanjye”, keretse niba papa wawe ashaka gusimbuza Ikinyarwanda Uluganda nk’uko yasimbuje icyongereza igifaransa. Nta kibazo tuzakomeza twihangane nk’uko tubimenyereye kuva mu kwezi k’Ukwakira 1990.

Tugarutse ku gisubizo wahaye IGIHE.COM, gifite ishingiro rwose. Umuryango w’umuntu ufite agaciro gakomeye cyane, ariko ndibaza niba iso azi cyangwa asobanukiwe intimba miliyoni z’abanyarwanda bafite nyuma y’aho ababyeyi babo bazize agafuni! Uri mutoya cyane wenda ntuzi icyo agafuni bivuga ariko niba iso atarakwicaje ku bibero ngo akubarire uko yajyaga yica abanyarwanda b’inzirakarengane muri Kiyombe, Mukarange, Bwisige, Butaro, Kidaho n’utundi duce two mu Rwanda, nshobora kwitanga nkakwigisha amateka y’u Rwanda n’uburyo iso yateguye kuba ikirangire ubu wowe urimo wishimira uyu munsi.

Uburyo agafuni kangize imfubyi mfite imyaka 4

Nshuti Ange, sinzi uko navutse ariko wowe nziko uzi uko wavutse kuko papa wawe n’inshuti ze zafashe amafoto ndetse nyuma mwagiye mwizihiza umunsi w’amavuko wawe. Nyamara jyewe navutse ibisasu bya katiyusha binyura ku mutwe. Bambwiye ko igihe papa wawe yoherezaga ibisasu 12 icyarimwe, mama wanjye yagize ibise igihe kitageze, mu gihe (ababyeyi banjye) barimo bahunga so. Bambwiye ko muri icyo gihe iso yarimo atsembatsemba. Yariyarahiye gukubura Kiyombe, Cyungo, Bwisige, Kivuye na Kiyombe ngo murwego rwo kugutegurira amayira. Muri iyo nkubiri ibintu ntibyagendekeye neza Mama wanjye. Yagombaga guhita mbyara. Nyamara umuriro wa so wari mwinshi cyane. Mama wanjye yari azi ko gutinda gatoya byashoboraga kumushyira ku bugi bw’inkota ya so. Nuko rero Papa wanjye yahise atekereza uburyo yakemura icyo kibazo. Njye nari imfura ye. Yifuzaga ko twese twabaho ariko ingabo za so zari zitwegereye cyane. Ni uko Papa yabonye ikigega maze ashyiramo mama waribwaga cyane na we yinjiramo amufasha kunyibaruka, ni naho haturutse izina rya Kanyabigega.

Maze kuvuka ibintu byakomeje kudogera. Ibuka ko ikigega cyakijije ubuzima bw’abantu batatu, jyewe, mama na papa. Simfite umwanya wo kukunyuriramo mu magambo arambuye uburyo navutse ariko umenye ko Imana yahagaze hagati yanjye na So ikoresheje ikigega bityo ingabo za so ntizatubona.

Twihuse gatoya reka nkubwire undi munsi ukomeye mu buzima bwanjye, ubw’umuryango wanjye n’ubw’umuryango wawe.

Umunsi umwe mu mwaka wa 1993 ababyeyi banjye bagiye gushaka ibyo kurya kuko twari tumaze iminsi itatu nta kintu dukoza ku munwa. Icyo gihe twabaga mu nkambi y’abavanywe mu byabo ya Muhura. Ndizera ko is yakubwiye aho Muhura yari  iherereye. Mushiki wanjye yari afite amezi ane gusa na murumuna wanjye yari afite imyaka ibiri. Kuri uwo munsi murumuna wanjye yari arwaye kandi ashonje. Ni uko ababyeyi banjye baramutwaye we na mushiki wanjye babajyana ahitwa Nyagahanga. Muri aka gace hari hatuye masenge wari warahashyingiye ahitwa NEKE. Masenge yari yadutumiye ngo dufate ibiryo dushoboye kuko abana twari dushonje cyane. Ababyeyi banjye baragiye ntibagaruka, hagarutse gusa abakecuru ingabo za so zaretse ngo bazajye kubara inkuru. Uzagende ubaze aho Nyiramitsindo yabaga. Ni we watubwiye uko ingabo za so zaje zigatsemba urugo rwa masenge. Haje inyeshyamba 11 za FPR zuzuye ubugome zigendereye kungira imfubyi uwo munsi. Nko ku isaha ya saa cyenda nibwo zageze mu rugo rwa masenge zitwaje udufuni. Zishe abantu bose bari bahari hasigara Nyiramitsindo wenyine. Murumuna wanjye Migisha na mushiki wanjye Akizanye ntinbarokotse ngo barebe uko isi itembera ubu, bitewe na so uriho.

Mushiki wanjye Akizanye asekera kuri FACEBOOK

Mu gihe wibaga umugono maze ukiyerekana I Washington bityo ugahinduka ikirangirire mu ijoro rimwe umwenyura iruhande rwa so hejuru y’amafaramga ava mu misoro itangwa n’abenegihugu hari ikintu kimwe cyanje mu mu mutwe. Mushiki wanjye Akizanye aba ari kwizihiza isabukuru y’imyaka 21 uyu munsi. Yari kuba kuri FACEBOOK yandika asangira n’inshuti ze ababwira uko yishimiye uyu munsi.

Akizanye yari kuba yishimiye ibyo nanditse ku rubuga rwe mubwira nti: Ugire isabukuru nziza baby girl, nishimiye kugira mushiki wanjye umeze nka we” . Nyamara ibi ntibyabaye bitewe na so uriho.

Iyo nkubonye ukura wishimye nibaza niba ujya utekereza ku bandi banyanrwanda batakaje ababyeyi babo biturutse ku bikorwa bya papa wawe. Ese iso yigeze akubwira ko we n’agatsiko bavanye Uganda banze guhagarika imirwano ndetse bakanga 40% by’imyanya muri guverinoma bari bahawe na Habyarimana? Ese iso yigeze akubwira ko ibyo byatumye habaho ubwicanyi bwakorewe inzirakarengane z’abatutsi bashoboraga kurokoka ndetse ubu bakaba baryohewe n’ubuzima nk’uko nawe bukuryoheye? Yigeze akubwira ko hari impinja ama miliyoni zari zifite umwaka umwe gusa igihe iso yarasaga indege ya Habyarimana na Ntaryamira? Ujya se wibaza uburyo iso yambujije kwibuka mu cyubahiro ababyeyi banjye n’abavandimwe Akizanye na Migisha, reka wenda ibyo kubashyingura mu cyubahiro tubireke!

Mu gusoza ibaruwa yanjye nshuti Ange, nifuzaga kukwibutsa ibikurikira: U Rwanda ni urw’Abanyarwanda, Abahutu, Abatutsi n’Abatwa ariko iso yahinduye igihugu cyacu igikumba cye bwite yiyibagiza ko Abanyarwanda bafite uburenganzira bwo kwibuka ababo bishwe. Abanyarwanda bazi neza badashidikanya ko kubera ibikorwa bya so, u Rwanda rwibukwaho jenoside kandi nyamara yarashoboraga kutabaho iyo iso ahagarika umutima w’inda nini.

Urubyiruko rw’Abanyarwanda rurashenguka ariko nta n’umwe wo kubara imkuru kuko dutinya iso azaza akatugira nk’ibyo yakoreye KIZITO Mihigo, na Patrick Karegeya. Ubu umwana wa Karegeya Portia Mbabazi yari kuba yizihiza imyaka 23 ari kumwe na se iyo so aza kuba atariho.

Nshuti Ange, ndi umusore w’umunyarwanda wabujijwe uburenganzira bwo kugira ababyeyi n’abavandimwe kandi aya mateka agera kuri buri wese yaba umututsi, hari miliyoni z’abatutsi zatakaje ababyeyi kubera so; haba no mu bahutu miliyoni z’abana b’abahutu babuze ababyeyi babo kubera so. Reka wenda tube twibagiwe Abatwa kuko na guverinoma zabanje ntizigeze zibaha ishema bakwiye ndetse n’ubutegetsi bwa so ni uko.

Kizito 01701201415381800000020140118_kagameMihigo (ibumoso) ni umwe mu Batutsi barokotse jenoside  FPR irimo gusonga.

 Paul Kagame ( iburyo) aramutse yanze gushyikirana akagwa mu ntambara yaba yizize.

 

Mu Rwanda ibintu bihabera biteye agahinda kenshi. Kuva tariki ya 7 Mata umuhanzi w’icyamamare kandi ukiri mutoya yafashwe na polisi afungirwa ahantu hatabona, amazwa iminsi itatu ntawe umureba ku buryo rwose urupfu rwari hafi. Amaze kumvishwa ko ashobora no gupfa kandi isi igakomeza igatembera, nibwo noneho yashyizwe kuri tortures zikomeye kugira ngo yemere ibyo aregwa byose. Icy’ingenzi mu byaha aregwa ni uko ngo yifuje ko aho kugira ngo habe intambara mu gihugu imara abaturage, ahubwo hapfa umuntu umwe ari we Paul Kagame.

 

Iyo ukurikiye neza uburyo bivugwa, usanga Kizito atari we ucura wo mugambi ahubwo uwo mugambi ucurwa na Kagame we ubwe. Muti kuki? Impamvu ni uko iri yicwa rya Kagame rivugishwa amatama yombi n’abantu umuntu atanahamya ko babishoboye (iyo babishobora ntaba yarabamarishije ibiziriko), mu by’ukuri rituruka kuko Kagame yanze imishyikirano. Hashize imyaka myinshi Abanyarwanda basaba ko Paul Kagame yakwemera hakaba imishyikirano hagati y’Abanyarwanda igahuza FPR n’abayirwanya, abihayimana, sosiyete sivile, abahagarariye amashyirahamwe y’abakozi n’imiryango itegamiye kuri Leta kugira ngo tuganire ku mateka yacu nta gucengana. Ibi biganiro bitaziguye kandi bizira ikinyoma nibyo byatanga umurongo nyawo w’ubwiyunge bw’Abanyarwanda. Ikibazo rero cyakomeje kuba ingorabahizi kuko Leta ya Kigali yavuniye ibiti mu matwi ikikomereza urugendo nk’aho ntacyo biyibwiye. Hagati aho kandi niko Abanyarwanda b’ingeri nyinshi bakomeje kwicwa urubozo bagafungirwa ubusa, bagatorongezwa, abasigaye bagahindurwa inkomamashyi n’abagererwa mu gihugu cyabo ubu cyigaruriwe n’agatsiko gatoya k’abasirikare bakuriye mu nkambi z’impunzi muri Uganda ndetse n’abandi birirwaga mu mihanda ya Kampala bacuruza ibiyobyabwenge.

Kuba rero bamwe mu Banyarwanda bumva niba ibiganiro binaniranye wenda hari indi nzira banyuramo ndumva bitabazwa bo, ahubwo bikwiye kwirengerwa n’uwanze ko ibyo biganiro bibaho. Gusa rero na none dukurikije amateka yacu ya vuba, gushoza intambara bamwe bavuga ko ngo izaba ngufiya cyane, tuzi neza ko yamena amaraso y’inzirakarengane.( Niyo mpamvu hari amashyaka  nk’ ISHEMA abona intambara idakwiye kugirwa priority). Aha niho Kizito Mihigo atuje yatanze igitekerezo ati aho kwitura inabI izo nzirakarengane , ni kuki uwo wanze ko ibiganiro bibaho atari we wabibazwa ariko abandi bakagira amahoro?

Iki gitekerezo cya Kizito rero nicyo ubucamanza bw’u Rwanda bwahereyeho buyicuranga buyica imirya ngo aha ishyano ryacitse umurizo. Gusa mu byerekeye amategeko, nta kimenyetso na kimwe cyerekana ko Kizito atari kugera nyuma akisubiraho mbere y’uko ibyo biba cyane cyane ko nta n’aho agaragaza uko uwo mugambi uzagenda. Paul Kagame nabimenye. Guhera uyu munsi ashatse yakoresha izo nkomamashyi ze z’abacamanza agafunga u Rwanda rwose kuko Abanyarwanda 75 % bamwifuriza gupfa wenyine aho kwanga imishyikirano maze bikaba byabyara intambara izamara abenegihugu. Ese ubundi byaba bitwaye iki niba umuntu umwe apfuye kugira ngo hakire ubuzima bwa benshi? Kagame nawe yagombye kwishimira kuba yapfa ariko agakiza benshi niba ari wo muti wonyine usigaye. Bityo twamwandika  no mu gitabo cy’intwari!

Igitangaje si uko Kagame yapfa, kuko n’ubundi twese ntawe utazapfa. Ikindi hari umuntu  w’inshuti yanjye uhora atwibutsa ko no hakurya y’urupfu hari ubugingo. Ariko nanone kwambura umuntu ubuzima bihanirwa n’amategeko. Kubitekereza gusa utabishyize mu bikorwa ntacyo byamutwara akaba ariyo mpamvu bidakwiye kugenderwaho ngo umuntu akorerwe dosiye. Igikomeye ahubwo ni iyo igikorwa cyabayeho. Ku itariki ya 1 /10/1990 umutwe w’inyeshyamba wiyise Inkotanyi ukaba wari ugizwe n’abana bakomoka ku wundi mutwe wari wariyise Inyenzi( Ingangurarugo ziyemeje kuba Ingenzi) wagize igitekerezo cyo kwica abanyarwanda bo mu bwoko bw’abahutu. Ntibyahagarariye ku gitekerezo gusa kuko byashyizwe no mu bikorwa. Uyu mutwe wakoze umugambi wo kurasa Habyarimana ndetse ubishyira mu bikorwa. Sijye ubivuga ahubwo abari bahibereye barabyemeza. Ni ukuvuga ko abagize uyu mutwe ntibabaye ibigwari nka Kizito uvugisha umunwa gusa, ahubwo bo babishyize no mu bikorwa maze ku itariki ya 6 Mata 1994 Habyarimana yicirwa hamwe na Ntaryamira. Ibitekerezo n’imipango byashyizwe mu bikorwa nyamara nta wigeze abatunga agatoki kugeza n’ubu. Iryo yicwa rya Habyarimana niryo ryakuruye iyicwa ry’umubyeyi wa Kizito nyamara nta wigeze avugira Kizito uretse kumwambika ishati bakajya bahora bamubwira ngo “iyo shati ntuyanduze nijye wayiguhaye”! Ubonye iyaba na Kagame yarifurije Habyarimana gupfa ariko ntabikore? Wenda miliyoni z’abantu zapfuye ubu ziba ntaho zagiye.

Si Habyarimana wenyine kandi wishwe. Abasenyeri barishwe kandi ntibishwe n’amagambo yo kuri whatsapp na skype. Impunzi i Kibeho zishwe atari internet ikoreshejwe. Impunzi muri Congo zararimbaguwe biturutse mu mugambi wacuzwe ukanashyirwa mu bikorwa.

Icya ngombwa si ugufunga abana ngo batekereje kandi nyamara wirengagije aho ikiganiro cyaturutse. ” Niba Kagame yanze ibiganiro kuki atari we wakwicwa ariko imbaga y’abantu ikarokoka? Ng’ibi ibyo Kizito yavugaga. Niba Kagame ari umugabo yagombye kumva interuro yose atayiciyemo kabiri. Ikindi akiyemeza gushakra igihugu cyose icyiza dore ko akibifitiye Ubushobozi.

Uko mbibona ndasanga urubanza rwa Kizito rutazoroha. N’ubwo bamugumishije muri polisi amasaha arenze ateganywa n’itegeko ndetse bakamujyana mu rukiko ngo yemere bakamusubiza muri polisi aho ahozwa kuri torture, ubu igihe kirageze ngo ashyirwe muri gereza nk’abandi. Aha niho azajya avanwa ajya kuburana. Nagera imbere y’abancamanza urubanza rugiye gutangira mu mizi, Kizito azasobanura iby’iyicarubozo yakorewe ngo abyemere. Aha ni naho azahakana ibyo bamurega byose maze abe ahaye akazi katoroshye ubushinjacyaha ko kwerekana nta shiti ko Kizito yagize uruhare mu iyicwa rya Paul Kagame ritigeze ribaho! Nanone FPR ishobora kumushyiraho akarimi keza nka ka kandi yashyize ku abhutu bakikorera amadosiye ya jenoside ngo aha bazafungurwa bagera hanze bagasubizwamo. Kizito rero ashobora gushukishwa ko niyemera rwose bazamugabanyiriza ibihano maze agataha agasubira mu muryango. Ariko yibuke ko isura ye yamaze guhindana, uretse Imana yonyine niyo twizeye ko itazamuvaho naho abantu bo ntakibafite 100%. Kizito n’iyo yakatirwa amezi 6 gusa azaba afite ubusembwa bumwambura uburenganzira ku bintu byinshi mu gihugu. Ni yo mpamvu buriya ashatse yabona ko nta mnwanya azaba agifite mu gihugu amaze gufungurwa, keretse revolisiyo ya rubanda iri hafi kuba imufunguye.

Aho gutakaza umwanya bacira urubanza inzirakarengane ngo zatekereje, uwafata uwarashe indege ya Habyarimana, uwishe Abasenyeri  i Kabgayi n’impunzi i Kibeho, uwafungiye abantu mu buvumo bwa Mahoko muri Kanama… Abo bose ntibatekereje ngo banavuge gusa ahubwo babishyize no mu bikorwa.

Kagame at Stanford Univeversity on last Friday. By this malign smile he will make you fall for him. Do you really want to know what he has in his mind? All you need is to remind him that he has killed Rwandans since October 1, 1990, sacrificed Tutsi to take the power and captured and sold Eastern Congo to the West to maintain himself finacially sound and wants to change the constitution so that he takes another 7-year term in office. He will show you his real nature which is nothing less than criminality. Admin

President Kagame addresses Stanford University students last Friday

Paul Kagame has been touring top American universities giving speeches deceiving unsuspecting students and uncaring top brass at these academic institutions about what he calls accomplishments of his reign: peace, human rights, democracy, development, etc. This is vintage Kagame: he has the whole Rwandan population under lock and key, assassinates and imprisons dissenting voices, and then goes to the land of his benefactors to taunt the West as if to say, “I do what I want, you can go to hell!”

Other than his love of a million dollar luxury travel (money that ends in his private pockets because he rents the private jets bought on public money to the Rwandan state) and expensive $20k a night hotel, and an opportunity to visit his children studying here in the USA, Kagame seems to be thrilled to receive honorary doctorates and rub shoulders with academics. For a man who never stepped in a university out of indiscipline, and not lack of intelligence, has he discovered that universities are useful centres of learning, contributing to human progress?

Universities have historically been places where intellectual freedom, openness, and innovation have been nurtured. It is then ironical that Kagame, the enemy of freedom and openness in Rwanda, would be welcomed to Harvard, Tufts, MIT, Brandeis, and Stanford to extol the same values that he lacks and fights. He should be grateful to Tony Blair, Bill Clinton, Michael Porter, Rick Warren, Michael Fairbanks and other hired mercenaries whose greased hands can return favours that enable him to hobnob with academics who do not care about the plight of Africans.

Of late Kagame has not been received with fervour at U.S. State Department and the White House. He must be secretly lamenting that. Universities provide an alternative opportunity to be around here, and to continue his campaign of deceptions and denials. On this particular trip he seems to be indirectly telling his strongest supporter, the United States, that he will change the constitution, and run for as long as he wants, and nobody will stop him.

Nobody should ever not take Kagame’s threats seriously. He has killed and waged wars with impunity. He is fond of saying privately that the West and the so-called international community lack the interest and will to stop him from doing what he wants.  He is right in this regard but wrong in another sense. Rwandans have the interest and will to stop and reverse the effects of his murderous madness.

And when that happens, and Kagame survives the coming change in Rwanda, Tufts, Harvard, Brandeis, MIT and Stanford should perhaps crown him with a tenured professorship of dictatorship. After all, he has stolen enough money to offer generous endowments to these otherwise prestigious but heavily commercialized institutions. Shame on you Tufts, Harvard, MIT, Brandeis, and Stanford!

Dr Theogene Rudasingwa is a former Rwandan ambassador to the United States who now lives in New York after falling out with President Kagame. He is a member of Rwanda National Congress (RNC)one of the opposition political organizations.

 

Kagame has revealed his greates fear: Reconciliation among Hutu and Tutsi

The alarm clock has been brutal for many Rwandans this Monday, April 14, 2014: Rwandan police had announced the arrest of a young Rwandan renowned musician, Mr. Kizito Mihigo, a young journalist, Mr Cassian and Ntamuhanga a young demobilized Rwandan army (RDF), Paul Dukuzumuremyi.

Beyond the fact that they are survivors of the 1994 genocide Tutsis who were arrested during the commemoration of the 20 th anniversary of the genocide, it is mainly the charges brought against them leaders who spread the excitement and stupor in all Rwandan media.

All three are accused of being involved in organizing terrorist attacks against Rwanda, want to overthrow the government by violence, to plan the murder of members of the government to encourage people to violence and have participated in a network of leading grenade attacks.

He is also accused of collaborating with the FDLR (Rwandan rebels in Congo installed) and the leaders of the opposition organization Rwanda National Congress (RNC).

During their court appearance the next day Tuesday, April 15, police also brought a young woman, Mrs. Agnes Niyibizi, which was presented as their accom.

To silence the voices of reconciliation

Accusations that the Kigali regime door against these young genocide survivors are among the worst he had ever brought against someone and there is reason to wonder why.

On closer inspection, the weight of these charges equaled the extent of their commitment to reconciliation and the magnitude of the fear of Kagame to see Hutu and Tutsi reconcile and fight together against his oppression.

In fact, the young musician Kizito Mihigo began to put his talent to the service of true reconciliation, which is diametrically opposed to the Kagame regime policies.

In a recent song entitled “The meaning of death”, he made two recommendations that have angered President Kagame. First, it recommended to honor not only the victims of the genocide of Tutsis, but also the victims of war crimes, revenge and other attacks in Rwanda or outside the country. Then he considered that human dignity takes precedence over being Rwandans.

It should be noted that this inclusive vision of Mr. Kizito is in perfect harmony with other Rwandan personalities who preached peace and reconciliation, and who paid a heavy price.

For illustrative purposes, it corresponds to that of Ms. Victoire Ingabire, president of the opposition party FDU-Inkingi, currently languishing in prison, having been sentenced to 15 years in prison after trying to run against President Kagame in elections the 2010 presidential election.

In his speech at the genocide memorial in Gisozi, she said: “For us to achieve genuine reconciliation, we need to empathize with the suffering of everyone.”

Similarly, the position of Mr. Kizito agrees with that of Mr. Patrick Karegeya, founding member and former RNC aide to President Kagame, who was murdered in South Africa earlier this year by agents of the regime Kigali.

In his letter to Mr. Douglass E. Coe associate director of the American Fellowship organization, just three days before his assassination, asking for his support in organizing an inter-Rwandan dialogue, Mr. Karegeya wrote: [I]” [/I][I]For a company like ours that has experienced trauma as now, since all our communities were in turn victims and executioners, it is impossible to overstate the issue of forgiveness and grace …… We can not look to the future only if we speak in truth and learn to forgive us. “[/I]

President Kagame has a completely opposite to that of Mr. Kizito, why he tried to stifle his voice position as it did for Ms. Victoire Ingabire, Patrick Karegeya and others he murdered or imprisoned.

Its policy has been to exclude Hutu any form of commemoration; they do not have the right to their cry. Worse, through a government program called “I am Rwandan,” the song refers implicitly Kizito, the Kigali regime calls on all Hutus, even those who were not yet born in 1994, to apologize for crimes conspecifics.

President Kagame also not hesitate to publicly affirm its opposition to the pacifist approach Mr. Kizito. A few days after the release of the song mentioned above, he said that he was not a musician and he was not there to please everybody.

What future for Rwanda?

The drama of these young survivors clear to those who still had doubts that Rwanda will never know peace and reconciliation under the regime of President Kagame.

For him, reconciliation refers to the end of its oppressive power based on the division between Rwandans (Hutu, Tutsi, Twa) and the scapegoat strategy.

Regarding this last aspect, we will remember the serious charges of complicity in genocide made by Kagame against French military and prevented France to send a delegation to the 20 th commemoration of the Tutsi genocide.

Being fully aware of its great responsibility in the crimes committed in Rwanda and the Great Lakes region of Africa since the 1990s, President Kagame is terribly frightened by anything that would bring Rwandans to sit together and establish the truth about their drama.

In this context, the future of Rwanda depend on the choice of orientation of the support, not only from the Rwandans themselves, but also from the international community.

The regime of President Kagame is clearly inconsistent with the peace and reconciliation, this choice could be ambiguous.

Narrative Shift: U.S. Lawyer Highlights Kagame’s Role In Rwanda Genocide And Habyarimana Assassination

Leave a reply

Kagame

Gen. Paul Kagame — even corporate media are now re-evaluating the narrative placing him as “savior”

[The Rwanda Calamity In Perspective]

April 6 marks exactly 20 years since the cataclysmic massacres that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives in Rwanda.

Rwandan Refugees in other East African countries and Diaspora who had enrolled into Uganda President Yoweri Museveni’s National Resistance Army (NRA), now the Uganda People’s Defense Force (UPDF) invaded Rwanda on October 1, 1990.

At the time of the invasion Paul Kagame, who is now President of Rwanda, was the chief of Military Intelligence in Uganda and had been sent by Museveni for U.S. training at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

The invasion sparked a destructive chain, including the recurrent invasions of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), that all told may have cost the lives of six million or more Rwandans and Congolese.

To contextualize the calamity, this writer caught up with Peter Erlinder, a law professor at William Mitchell Law College in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Erlinder has a new book “The Accidental Genocide,” that covers the period before and after the massacres that started on April 7, 1994 after the plane carrying the president of Rwanda Juvenal Habyarimana, and Burundi’s Cyprien Ntaryamira was shot down with a missile. Prof. Erlinder’s book relies on U.S. documents and documents from the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) where he was a lead defense counsel for the Hutu defendants tried after the war.

The American law professor has been critical of what he calls the “victors’ justice in Rwanda,” contending that RPF soldiers and commanders were never tried for the war crimes that they committed and only the defeated army of Habyarimana were brought to book.

Erlinder had been arrested in Rwanda where he had traveled to defend the presidential aspiring candidate Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza who had been charged with “genocide denial ideology”. She remains incarcerated.

He tells me: “The winners of the war have told their side of the story, but there is another story, which is reflected in the UN, and the US documents but never came to light”.

Erlinder contends both sides committed the crimes but that a story told by the winner doesn’t reflect the level of culpability.

That’s what he says his book does. The book contains evidence used in the ICTR trials and copies of the originally suppressed UN and US Government documents related to the assassination of two heads of state, President Habyarimana of Rwanda and Ntaryamira.

The day after the assassination large-scale massacres started and estimates of those killed in the next 100 days range from 800,000 to a million. Later the genocidal killings were exported to the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the former Zaire; the killings continue in the Congo.

The assassination and the 100 days of killings shattered the Arusha Peace Accord which had established a transitional government of national unity with power-sharing between Habyarimana’s party, another opposition party, and the RPF, which ultimately seized the power.

Q: As we are getting closer to the 20th anniversary of Rwandan Genocide; what does this mean to you?

A: During the past 20 years, we have learned that a UN Tribunal charged with prosecuting all crimes that were committed in Rwanda during 1994 has prosecuted only crimes charged to the defeated and none have been charged to the victors.  This means the four-year war of aggression and invasion of the RPF supported by Uganda [about which there is no dispute] is the first in history in which only the defending side committed crimes, or like Nuremberg and the Tokyo Tribunals, the supposedly neutral UN Tribunal was actually a victor’s tribunal.  As former U.S. Secretary of [Defense] Robert McNamara admitted in the documentary The Fog of War ‘Had the Japanese won the war, those of us who planned the gasoline bombing of Tokyo would have been the war criminals.’ Until a fair assignment of mutual responsibility is reached, long-lasting peace in Rwanda and central Africa will be difficult to achieve.

Q: How would you like people to look at this eventful day April 6 which many believe to have triggered the 1994 genocide and today’s debate and narrative?

A: As early as 1997 UN Prosecutors recommended that Paul Kagame be prosecuted for the assassinations of Presidents Habyarimana and Ntaryamira. The U.S. removed U.N Prosecutor Del Ponte from office when she insisted on doing so on May 15, 2003.  Former Chief of Staff to Kagame, Dr. Theogene Rudesingwa has admitted being involved in the cover-up. The detailed testimony in the ICTR Military-1 case resulted in every Trial Chamber, and the Appeal Chamber, agreeing that the former Rwandan military were not engaged in any criminal conspiracy before the assassination of President Habyarimana…. that would include the assassination itself.  I would like people to look at the same evidence that convinced ALL of the ICTR judges.

Q: People wonder and would like to understand why very few people accused of being perpetrators of Rwandan Genocide have actually been convicted?

A: Many, if not most, have been convicted of crimes committed after the assassination of President Habyarimana. All national leaders have been acquitted of crimes of conspiracy and planning before the assassination because the Kagame regime and UN Prosecutors have no evidence to support their claim that a long-planned conspiracy to commit genocide against Tutsi, or any other civilians actually existed.

Q: Since you were privy to a lot of documents regarding the events that were taking place during the 100 days. Can you give a brief picture of what could have happened based on the documents you managed to access?

A: The main point, according to the UN documents, not me, is that the RPF was the dominant military force capable of seizing power as of February 1993.  This is confirmed by Gen. Dallaire’s Recon Report of September 1993 long before UNAMIR arrived in Rwanda. U.S. documents show it was the RPF that blocked power-sharing in late March 1994, not Habyarimana. The assassinations were committed on the order of Kagame which he was told by the U.S. Ambassador would bring mass violence like Burundi after President Ndadaye was assassinated in October 1993. The RPF assault from April 6 to April 20 took over eastern half of country in a long-planned Blitzkrieg. Only RPF had military power to stop the killings by stopping their military advance….Dallaire said they refused to do so because Kagame was winning the war.

Q: There are people wondering that — how come that the winners of the 1990s Rwandan war lost many people than the losers. How can you explain this theory that, the winner lost many people in the battle whilst the loser lost very few?

A: Actual numbers from Rwandan government and all NGO reports, compiled by [Christian] Davenport and [Allan] Stamm, show that twice as many Hutus were victims as Tutsi — these are best numbers I am aware of.

Q: There are people who still want to get a clear picture. By April 6, what percentage of the country was occupied by the RPF?

A: Less than 10% on April 6.  About  half on April 20th…entire eastern half.

Q: There were these disturbing images; which I believe you have seen before. If you revisit your TV images of bodies of Rwandese were floating on Lake Victoria. People who witnessed these bodies claim this style was common during the National Resistance Army (NRA). There is a general belief that this style of killing could have been borrowed from the NRA war of Luwero in Uganda in the early 1980s. As a person who has gone through many documents that include intelligence information is there a possibility that the RPF could have borrowed this style? Or who trained the Hutus to use the same Luwero style?

A: I am not aware of this comparison but I have heard reports from former RPF fighters that using farm implements rather than bullets was preferred to save ammunition for military battles.

Q: Knowing the geographic area of River Akagera in Rwanda and how its waters flow how did the Hutu manage to kill the Tutsi, ferry the bodies into Akagera River, which is in an area then occupied by the RPF?

A: Because RPF controlled eastern half of Rwanda no later than April 20, it is reasonable that bodies in Akagera are RPF’s responsibility. On May 17, 1994, a UNHCR report makes this explicit by reporting mass killings and bodies floating in the river. The document is in my book.

Q:  There are people out there who want to get the facts, which are consistent with realities. Do you know what was the population of Rwanda? Do you have the knowledge of what was the percentage of Hutus out of the entire population before the genocide?

A: Yes this is in my book, too. And, in the Dallaire Recon Report. The 1991 census and estimates given Dallaire by the parties in 1993 are not too different.

Q: As a person who accessed several documents during your time at the ICTR Court, what arrangements have you made to enable people to know what really transpired in Rwanda?

A: Accidental Genocide. www.rwandadocumentsproject.net

Q: Some people claim that the current Rwandan authority has invested hugely to hunt down and eliminate those perceived to be with the different version from the official known version. How true is this claim? Are there some examples to backup this claim that Kagame has invested hugely to hunt down those who disagree with his views that the Hutus committed the genocide?

Madam Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza’s analysis of the Rwandan genocide. She believes there were double genocide and all the perpetrators should be held to account for their respective actions. Ms. Ingabire also believes that most Gacaca Courts have been used or influenced by Kagame to settle political scores than bringing justice. What is your comment about Ingabire’s analysis?

A: Ms. Ingabire is essentially correct. The problem with the double genocide theory is that it implies planning on both sides. There is no evidence this is true. There is evidence for mass violence committed against Tutsi after the assassination of Habyarimana and Ntaryamira which was predicted to occur, as it did, after the assassination of Ndadaye, but this was not planned, in Burundi or Rwanda. The mass killing of Hutu in Burundi was a government operation and was genocide by the army. The RPF consciously planned for the mass-violence against Tutsi to occur in Rwanda to justify resuming the war and making use of their superior military power, rather than give-up power through the Arusha peace process…This is clear from U.S. State Department documents of April 1, 1994.

Q: Madam Carla De Ponte wrote a book in which she claimed to have advised the arrest and prosecution of RPF officials but was removed from office. It is also believed she went to Washington to tell Obama to investigate Clinton’s behavior and role in the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Why do you think Madam Carla Del Ponte was ignored?

A: She was not only ignored, we know she was removed from office. Her press conference in Arusha announcing Kagame had killed Habyarimana and the RPF had committed mass crimes is what got me interested in the ICTR in the first place in 2003.

Q: We know that the International Criminal Court for Rwanda (ICTR) tried almost all the former Hutu Military and political leaders, but why didn’t it convict anybody of organizing the genocide?

A: Because there is no evidence that the ‘genocide was organized.’ Col Bagosora the supposed architect was convicted of crimes committed by soldiers he did not command, committed on April 7, 8, 9.

Q: For those who want to access the literature of the Rwandan War where can they find it?

A: Most tells the common story, but can be read for background. Robin Philpot’s recent book, Dr. [Helmut[ Strizek, Dr. Davenport, Dr. Stam, Dr. Filip Reyntjens‘ articles and my recent book are the beginning of the narrative based on the acquittals at the ICTR and solid evidence.

The BBC documentary on assassinations in South Africa was quite good, on March 27th I think.

The Accidental Genocide is available for public purchase in hardcopy Research Edition format on Amazon.com

”Short of inter-Rwandan dialogue, 20 years on after the genocide, Rwanda remains not only “an appeased expansionist bloody dictatorship”, but also “a powder keg, a time-ticking bomb waiting to explode”!

Leave a reply

By Antoine Roger Lokongo

Carla Del Ponte and Paul Kagame were increasingly at loggerheads.

Del Ponte, a former Chief Prosecutor of two United Nations international criminal law tribunals: the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) fell out with Kagame after she insisted that crimes committed by the Tutsi during the genocide should also be investigated.

Cameroon investigative journalist Charles Onana has published many books about the real culprits of the assassination of President Juvenal Habyarimana who are still being shielded from accountability and they are not those who have been “officially accused” as perpetrators so far, according to him.

Pierre Péan, a renowned French investigative journalist and Keith Harmon Snow, an American Investigative journalist, all have factually point out that the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) and Paul Kagame were responsible for the assassination of Juvénal Habyarimana, and therefore of having sparked the inter-ethnic killings in 1994! The list is long!

In this special call for articles by Pambazuka about “Rwanda – 20 years on after the genocide”, I would like to take this opportunity to highlight, provide and share with Pambazuka readers the new facts about Rwanda and the Kagame regime that have emerged recently and which prove that the last 20 years have been years of wasted efforts by the Kagame and the Museveni regimes to try to cover up the truth, but in vain, about what happened in Rwanda in 1994!
They are helped in this endeavour by powerful friends in high places in the West, including, former US President Bill Clinton, Susan Rice, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, Bono, Howard Buffett, Evangelical Pastor Rick Warren, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, Bill Gates, and so on (see, Judi Rever, “Paul Kagame’s trips to the West not worth the headache,” Digital Journal, Oct 17, 2013).
 
First of all, from a Congolese perspective, new facts have merged that in April 1994, immediately after the RPF came to power in Kigali, the DRC’s main opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi sent a telegram to Paul Kagane then Vice-President, congratulating him for “having overthrown Juvenal Habyarimana out of power” (See, “Lettre ouverte” envoyée par 13 Intellectuels du Grand Kasaï (R.D.Congo) à M. Etienne TSHISEKEDI wa MULUMBA, Président National de l’UDPS en prévision de l’échéance du 30 juin 2006).
For us Congolese, Etienne Tshisekedi, a popular Congolese politician who has visited Kigali many times at the invitation of President Kagame and who came second in the 2011 presidential elections, must have known what he was saying. He is not just a man of the street. He uncovered the truth, according to which, what happened in Rwanda was a civil war: a Tutsi rebel movement backed by Uganda and Anglo-Saxon powers overthrew a Hutu dominated regime, notwithstanding the waves of inter-ethnic killings that ensued, and which that overthrow unleashed!
 
Secondly, Kagame is now put under pressure by his Western powerful backers who have finally realized that when Kagame boasted in an interview granted to the Financial Times of London on 19 August 2010 that “Rwanda’s democracy is still the model for Africa”, that “model” does not square with human rights let alone with democracy itself!
They are now urging him to stop harassing, jailing and assassinating Rwandan opposition leaders, including Opposition leader Victoire Ingabire who was sentenced to 8 years in prison on 30 October 2012 for saying that “Hutu too were killed during the genocide”, but then her sentence was increased to 15 years in prison on 1 December 2013. Former Rwandan Intelligence chief Patrick Karegeya turned opposition figure was found dead in a South African hotel room, having been hanged or strangled by killers sent from Rwanda, four of whom were arrested in neighbouring Mozambique (see, Chimp Investigations Team, “Karegeya Murder Suspects ‘Arrested’ In  Mozambique,”  Chimpreports.com, 7 January 2014); as well as former Rwandan army chief Kayumba Nyamwasa, turned opposition figure who was shot by a lone gunman in South Africa; Kagame’s Western backers are also privately advising him to hold political dialogue with the FDLR, Hutu fighters roaming the hills of eastern Congo and who announced recently that they have laid down their arms and are ready to return to Rwanda provided the regime was open to political dialogue.
In fact, the British who back Kagame held peace talks with the IRA in Northern Ireland, the Afghan regime which is backed by the United States is encouraged to hold talks with the terrorist Talibans, Nelson Mandela held talks with White apartheid leaders, the Congolese government held talks with “Tutsi Congolese rebels” most of whom are Rwandans and Ugandans sent to the DRC to kill, rape and loot and Kinshasa will go so far as integrating them into the Congolese army (…). So why should the Kagame regime be an exception? Inter-Uganda dialogue including with the LRA, inter-Rwandan dialogue, including with the FDLR is the way forward for lasting peace in the region.
But Kagame does not want to hear that! So, the so-called “stability in Rwanda” has been achieved at the expense of Congo where Kagame continues and to stock the fire and “mucking” the Congo, as Tony Blair put it in a “supporting Kagame” article he co-authored with American billionaire Howard G. Buffett (Foreign Policy, 21 February 2013).
Recently Kagame threw a tantrum at his erstwhile Western backers, calling them “former colonial masters who do not stop lecturing Africans”. But recently Kagame was caught in his own trap when he boycotted the “Summit on Peace and Security in the African Continent” convened by the French President François Hollande in Paris on 6 December 2013. For Rwanda, it was no question of attending the summit.
“Those who feel they still need the protection of the former colonial master will go to this meeting. This is not our case,” a close associate of Paul Kagame told Jeune Afrique (see, Jean Mitari, “Sommet sur la paix et la sécurité à Paris : le Rwanda décline l’invitation, ” Jambonews.net, 19 juin 2013).
At the same time, Kigali favorably welcomed the invitation of U.S. President Barack Obama to attend a historic summit of leaders from across sub-Saharan Africa – the first of its kind – to be held in Washington in August 2014. The White House announced the invitation on 30 June 2013 (Stephen Collinson, “Obama to host summit of African leaders next year,” AFP, 30 June 2013).
Kagame was indeed caught in his own trap! Rwanda declined the invitation of the former French colonial master, but accepted that of Obama to all African Heads of State!
For Kagame, it is worth taking the orders coming from the White House than those coming from the Champs-Elysées! So what is the difference when you decline the invitation of one Western master and then you accept that of the other? That is because it is from the United States that Kagame is shielded from accountability after perpetrating genocide in Congo! After all, he is only playing the role of “an Anglo-American proxy” in Congo. That is the role he has played “so well” in the last 20 years!
Thirdly, in the last 20 years, Kagame and Museveni as well as their cronies and their foreign masters who arms them, have enriched themselves out of predatory wars for natural and mineral resources in Congo. The so-called “post-genocide economic progress in Rwanda” is based on such predatory wars!
But at the same time, Museveni and Kagame have enjoyed impunity, getting away with heinous crimes of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity both in Rwanda and in Congo, basically, trampling on international law or bending it in their favour when it suits their interests at home and abroad. When it comes to  extraditing  “Congolese Tutsi rebels”, including Laurent Nkunda, Mutebusi, Runiga and others who have found refuge in Rwanda to the DRC “their country of origin”, Paul Kagame evokes the Geneva Convention, allows himself to lecture the DRC, “which has not yet abolished the death penalty”, therefore he cannot extradite “Congolese Tutsi rebels” to “their country of origin only to be executed! If they are Congolese and Congo is their country of origin, why must they not be extradited there to face justice in their own country?
After the murder of Karegeya, President Kagame warned Rwandans who find themselves in the opposition camp that “There are consequences for betraying your country”. Why should there be no consequences for the “Tutsi Congolese rebels” who had betrayed their country then?
There is a saying which goes like this: Lie, lie, there will always be something left to lie about: the truth!
Recently, Joel Mutabazi, a former Rwandan officer (a former bodyguard of Kagame) accused of terrorism, formation of an armed group, murder and illegal possession of firearms, etc., and who sought political asylum in Uganda was unlawfully – that is to say, very much against the Geneva Convention – transferred to Rwanda from Uganda to face justice in his country! Among the other accused are several members of the opposition Rwandan National Congress (RNC) and eight students (see, “Paul Kagame ex-guard Joel Mutabazi rejects Rwanda trial,” BBC, 28 January 2014).
Mutabazi pleaded not guilty at his trial but he faces a death sentence as Patrick Karegeya did! Although the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) has condemned Kampala’s decision to extradite him as a “clear violation of the asylum principle”, nevertheless, the United States and Britain remained silent in the face of such a flagrant violation of international law! Is Tony Blair, Kagame’s “special adviser” not a British lawyer who should defend international law in this case?
However, this makes the “cause” the Tutsi say they are fighting for, that is inclusion, in the Great Lakes Region of Africa unjust, unfair to other people in the region and a lost one because the Tutsi are the ones who are now “mucking” other people in the region, to quote Tony Blair again. One day, Museveni and Kagame will have to answer for all these crimes!
Short of inter-Rwandan dialogue, 20 years on after the genocide, Rwanda remains not only “an appeased expansionist bloody dictatorship”, but also “a powder keg, a time-ticking bomb waiting to explode”!

Turibuka twese uko Kizito Mihigo yatewe hejuru mu minsi ishize birurutse ku ndirimbo « Igisobanuro cy’urupfu » yahimbye agamije guteza imbere ubumwe n’ubwiyunge mu Banyarwanda bose nta vangura. Benshi barumiwe bumvise ko Kizito Mihigo yaburiwe irengero, bakamubura mu mihango yo kwibuka Jenoside ku ncuro ya 20,yabaye ku italiki ya 7 Mata 2014. Abanyarwanda batagira ingano baratunguwe ubwo Polisi yemeraga ko ariyo imufunze,ngo kuko akekwaho ibyaha bikomeye cyane bijyanye no guhungabanya umutekano w’igihugu. Kugira ngo polisi yikure mu isoni yagombye gukora ibidakorwa ijyana Kizito Mihigo imbere y’itangazamakuru ngo yishinje ibyaha byose(nk’aho ari mu rukiko) byari bimaze kuvugwa n’umukuru w’abapolisi Kizito adahari !

Naho taliki ya 21 /4/2014 Kizito yagejejwe imbere y’urukiko bwa mbere asomerwa ibyaha byose akurikiranyweho aribyo :

*Kugirira nabi ubutegetsi buriho

*Kugirira nabi umukuru w’igihugu

*Ubufatanyacyaha mu bikorwa by’iterabwoba

*Ubugambanyi

*Gucura umugambi wo kwica

Nanone Kizito yabajijwe niba « yemera icyaha » avuga ko ahisemo kuzaburana nk’ubyemera byose, imbaga yari ihateraniye irumirwa ! Nibwo rero benshi batangiye kwibaza ibibazo byinshi nk’ibi bikurikira:

1.Ese uwiyemereye icyaha imbere y’urukiko aba agikeneye umwunganizi mu mategeko (Avoka) ?

Iyo ukurikiranyweho ibyaha bikomeye ukagezwa imbere y’urukiko, usomerwa imyirondoro yawe kandi ukamenyeshwa ibyaha ukurikiranyweho. Icyo gihe umucamanza akubaza niba wifuza kuburana nk’uwemera icyaha(plaider coupable) cyangwa se nk’utemera icyaha(plaider non-coupabale). Nizo nzira ibyiri ziteganywa n’amategeko.

Iyo uhisemo inzira yo kuburana nk’utemera icyaha ubwo nyine mu gihe cy’urubanza Ubushinjacyaha buba bugomba gutanga ibimenyetso byerekana ko ari wowe wakoze icyo cyaha, nawe ufatanyije n’umwunganizi wawe (Avocat)mukagomba gutanga ibimenyetso bifatika byerekana ko ibyo byaha bitabayeho cyangwa se ko atari wowe wabikoze, nyuma umucamanza agafata umwanzuro (guca urubanza), akemeza ko akurikije ibirego n’ukwiregura asanze icyaha kiguhama cyangwa se kitaguhama. Uhamwe n’icyaha ahabwa igihano giteganywa n’itegeko, udahamwe n’icyaha akagirwa umwere ndetse hakaba n’ubwo yagenerwa impozamarira !

N’iyo wiyemeje kuburana nk’uwemera icyaha ukenera umwunganizi mu mategeko kuko ugomba kuburana werekana ibimenyetso bihamya koko ko icyo cyaha wagikoze, ukerekana igihe n’aho wagikoreye , uko wagikoze, byaba ngombwa ukerekana n’abo mwagifatanyije.

Iyo wakoze icyaha koko, ugafatwa ugashyikirizwa urukiko, kuburana nk’uwemera icyaha bishobora kuguha amahirwe yo kwihutisha urubanza (nko mu Bufaransa ho rushobora no kutabaho), no kugabanyirizwa ibihano cyane.

Gusa muri « Affaire Kizito » abantu bakomeje kwibaza niba koko ibyaha Kizito Mihigo yemera yarabikoze cyangwa niba hari ikindi kibyihishe inyuma.

2.Ese Kizito Mihigo ashobora kwemera ibyaha atakoze ?

Hari impamvu zizwi zishobora gutuma umuntu yemerera imbere y’urukiko ibyaha atakoze. Reka tugaragaze izi enye z’ingenzi zikurikira :

(1) Gushaka kumenyekana

Hari abantu basonzeye cyane kumenyekana bakumva kwandikwa mu binyamakuru, kuvugwa ku maradiro no kugaragara ku matelevisiyo byatuma baba aba STAR . Byagaragaye nko mu gihugu cya Amerika aho Insoresore zisonzeye kuba Ibyamamare zishyira mu maboko Polisi iri gushakisha abakoze ibyaha bikomeye runaka, nyuma bikaza kugaragara ko ataribo bakoze icyo cyaha, ariko bo baba bageze ku mugambi wabo wo kumenyekana !

Kizito Mihigo ntabwo yabarirwa muri bene abo kuko we yari asanzwe ari Icyamamare , bikagerekaho ko yari azwi nk’umwana warezwe neza, ukunda Imana kandi ukunda n’abantu, akaba nta kindi yifuzaga uretse ubumwe n’ubwiyunge by’abanyarwanda. Kumenyekana nabi nta cyiza byamuzanira.

(2)Gushaka guhishira undi muntu ukomeye

Haba ubwo umuntu yiyemerera ko yakoze icyaha runaka mu by’ukuri ari uburyo bwo gukingira ikibaba undi muntu w’umukire cyangwa w’umutegetsi wagikoze ariko kugezwa imbere y’urukiko kwe bikaba byakwangiza byinshi. Icyo gihe uwemeye icyaha aba ari mu kiraka, arabihemberwa, mu ibanga. Ibyo kandi biba bibangamiye umurimo w’ubutabera kuko ubucamanza buba buhannye utarakoze icyaha mu gihe uwagikoze akomeje kwidegembya, akaba ashobora no gukora ibindi byaha hagati aho.

Mu kwemera icyaha kwe, Kizito Mihigo ntawe tubona yaba ari kugerageza gukingira ikibaba.

(3)Kwemera ibyaha ku gahato

Mu bihugu bikoresha iyicarubozo mu bugenzacyaha nko mu Rwanda, umuntu ashobora kwemera ibyaha atakoze kubera ko amagara amuriye, agahitamo kubyemera kugira ngo inkoni zigabanuke, ahumeke.

Abagize akaga ko gufungwa na FPR muri buriya buryo bemeza ko ibyo Kizito Mihigo avuga muri iki gihe ari amatakirangoyi masa, nta kindi.

(4)Gushinja abadafite aho bahuriye n’icyo cyaha

Umuntu ashobora kwemera icyaha atakoze kugira ngo abonereho uburyo bwo gushinja ubufatanyacyaha abandi bantu ashaka kugirira nabi. Aha niho « Affaire Kizito » ikwiye gushakirwa.

Si ukuvuga ko Kizito Mihigo ari we ubwe ushaka kugira abo ahemukira ahubwo biragaragara ko Paul Kagame n’Agatsiko ke bafite urutonde rw’abantu bagomba gukurwa mu nzira hifashishijwe urubanza rudasanzwe rw’umuhanzi Kizito Mihigo. Kandi rero byaragaragaye ko Kizito Mihigo yarangije gucirwa urubanza ataranaburana, kuko ashinjwa gufatanya n’umutwe w’inyeshyamba wa FDLR kimwe n’abayobozi b’Ihuriro RNC (Rwanda National Congress) rya Kayumba Nyamwasa, Patrick Karegeya, Rudasingwa Theogene na Gahima Gerard! Si abo kandi gusa bari muri “viseur” ya FPR-Kagame.

3.Uru rubanza rwa KIZITO rugamije iki mu by’ukuri?

Nibyumvikane neza : Urubanza rwa Kizito na bagenzi be ni urubanza rwa politiki rufite intego za politiki rugamije kugeraho .

(1)Biragaragara ko hari abanyapolitiki ba Opozisiyo bagiye gushyirwa ku rutonde rw’abakorana na FDLR kugira ngo bacirwe imanza bitwa « aba terroriste » bityo amahanga ntakomeze kubafasha cyangwa kubagirira icyizere cyangwa impuhwe.

(2)Uru rubanza rugamije guha ireme urupfu rwa Koloneli Patrick Karegeya , kugira ngo amahanga areke gukomeza kurushinja Paul Kagame n’abicanyi be ahubwo bigaragarire bose ko uwo muntu koko ari umugizi wa nabi wari ukwiye kunigishwa ikiziriko.

(3)Urubanza rwa Kizito Mihigo rugamije gutegura impfu z’abandi banyapolitiki ba opozisiyo bagiye kwicwa mu minsi iri imbere ariko urupfu rwabo rukabanzirizwa no kwambikwa ibara n’urukiko rugomba kubahamya icyaha cyo kuba abanzi b’u Rwanda ! Amazina y’abo banyapolitiki azahishurwa mu gihe cy’urubanza rwa Kizito Mihigo.

(4)Uru rubanza rugamije « gukiringa » (travestir)  amatora y’umukuru w’igihugu azaba mu 2017. Kugira ngo Perezida Kagame cyangwa Umugore we Jeannette Nyiramongi bazashobore kongera kwiyamamaza mu 2017, birabasaba gutangira kwikiza abo batekereza bose ko bafite ubushobozi bwo kubabangamira. Muri abo, Kizito Mihigo nk’umusore w’umututsi wacitse ku icumu ukunzwe cyane n’abanyarwanda b’amoko yombi yafashwe nka « menace très sérieuse». Mu kumukura mu nzira hakiri kare, Agatsiko kazabishingiraho kikize n’abandi batari bake : abari mu gihugu n’abari hanze, abasivili n’abasilikari bakuru, abari mu buyobozi n’abataburimo…. bakekwaho kuba batakwitabira umugambi wo kuyoboka no gushyigikira « Dynastie Kagame » ! Mu by’ukuri Paul Kagame akeneye kandi yiteguye gusimburwa n’umugore we, nyuma uyu na we akazasimburwa n’umuhungu we CYOMORO, bikagenda bityo ingoma igihumbi ! Abakekwaho kuba batazashyigikira uyu mugambi, nibo« Banzi b’u Rwanda bashya» Agatsiko kagiye guhiga bukware.By’umwihariko Abatutsi bahoze mu Rwanda  ni bo bagiye kongera kubona ishyano. Abashishoza barangije kubona ko iyi « Affaire Kizito » ari intangiriro  y’inzira ndende !

4. Uruhare rwa Kizito Mihigo muri iyi kinamico ni uruhe ?

Kizito Mihigo ni umwana w’imfubyi. N’ubwo inganzo ye yari imaze kumugira icyamamare, akaba akundwa na benshi, simpamya ko hari umuntu afite wamwitangira bikomeye akiruka ku idosiye ye ,kabone n’ubwo yabizira. Uyu mwana niwe Paul Kagame ahisemo kugira igitambo, kumugaraguza agati no kumuhindura igikoresho cy’inyungu ze bwite, nyuma byose bikazasozwa no kumucuza ubuzima.

Kizito rero, Kagame yamuhaye guhitamo hagati y’ibintu bibiri gusa: kwicwa nk’igikeri gihonyowe n’ikamyo cyangwa gukora ibyo bamutegetse BYOSE.

Mu minsi Polisi yamumaranye yitwa ko yaburiwe irengero, Kizito yeretswe ko ashobora kwicwa ntihagire umubaza kandi isi igakomeza ikazenguruka!Ibyo Kizito yarabyiboneye, abyumvira mu mubiri we utarabuze gusogongezwa ku cyo iyicarubozo bisobanura.

Kizito yeretswe kandi ko aramutse yemeye kwigerekaho ibyaha byose bamubwiye no gushinja ubufatanyacyaha abo bamutegetse BOSE yabaho ndetse akaba yanagororerwa ibirenze ibyo atunze ubu.

N’iyo umutimanama wa Kizito waba umwumvisha ko imikino y’ubugambanyi nk’iyo idakwiye, iyo amagara atewe hejuru ntawe utagerageza gusama aye !

Hari ibimenyetsto byinshi byerekana ko ukwemera icyaha kwa Kizito kurimo ikibazo gikomeye. Iby’ingenzi muri ibyo bimenyetso ni ibi bikurikira :

(1)Kujyanwa imbere y’itangazamakuru ngo abe ariho yemerera ibyaha kandi bibujijwe n’amategeko

(2)Kwemera ibyaha bwangu atiriwe arondora ibyo aribyo akavuga gusa ngo « ibyo bavuze byose ndabyemera »

(3)Gushinjwa n’abaministri nka Protazi Mitali mbere y’uko urubanza rutangira

(4)”Propagande” idasanzwe yo guharabika Kizito Mihigo yakozwe na FPR mu binyamakuru byo mu gihugu n’ibitangazamakuru mpuzamahanga

(5)Kuba Avocat wa Kizito, Maître Shema Gakuba Charles,  yarageze aho akanga kumuburanira kandi byakagombye kutamugora cyane kuburanira uwemera icyaha.

*Bishatse kuvuga ko ibyo Kizito Mihigo yemera mu ruhame binyuranye n’ibyo avugana na Avocat .

*Bisobanuye ko Kizito yifuzaga ko Avocat we yamurwanaho akamuburanira mu buryo bwo guhangana n’ubutegetsi , Avocat yarabitinye .

*Avocat yarangije kubona ko iyi dosiye “itekenitse” gusa, ntacyo afite cyo kuburana.

*Bishobora no gusobanura ko uyu Avocat yashyizweho « pression », agahatirwa kwinjira muri uwo mukino wa FPR yabona bimugoye akabyanga ku munota wa nyuma.

Uko byamera kose uriya Avocat azi byinshi . Niba atari uwo mu nda y’ingoma, dore ko yahoze ari umusilikari wa APR, nareba nabi na we mu minsi mike iri imbere araba yaburiwe irengero.

Umwanzuro

Ku ruhande rwa Kizito Mihigo, ibyo kwemera icyaha birasa no kugerageza gucuma iminsi, mbese aribwira mu mutima we, ati: ningira amahirwe nkabona bukeye, yenda ejo sakindi izaba ibyara ikindi. Muri make Kizito Mihigo ni umusore uri mu mazi abira, ari mu kaga gakomeye , abamukunda ntibakagombye gukomeza KWITURAMIRA gusa ! Abanyapolitiki ba Opozisiyo nabo ntibakwiye kurangara ngo bibwire ko “Affaire Kizito” ari ikibazo gisa n’ibyo dusanzwe tuzi ! Dukwiye kukiganiraho no kugikurikiranira hafi.

Erega njye “si ndi Umunyarwanda, ndi Umuhutu”J de Dieu MUSEMAKWELI

Kimwe mu byarangaga Umunyarwanda harimo kwanga umugayo. Kandi si Umunyarwanda gusa, ahubwo yari umuntu wese w’imfura, dore ko “ubupfura butagira ubwoko” nk’uko muri buri bwoko haba inyanda, imfunya n’imfura mbi. Kimwe mu byerekana ko Abanyarwanda bamwe batacyanga umugayo ni ziriya mbabazi abategetsi b’Abahutu bategetswe na Kagame gusaba ngo mu izina ry’Abahutu bose, kuberako ngo ari abicanyi kuva mu gisekuruza kugera mu kindi.

Ubona koko habure n’umwe, babiri se cyangwa batatu batinyuka kubwira Kagame bati “Oya ntitubikora, kubera ko ari amafuti, nushaka utuvane ku kazi, udufunge cyangwa se utwice” ? Rwose, habure n’umwe ? Ni akaga, ni ishyano u Rwanda rugushije. Nyamara mu mateka y’u Rwanda n’ayo mu bindi bihugu byo ku isi, ntihabuze ingero bari kwibuka, bikabatera ubutwari bwo kuzikurikiza, rwose bakavanira Kagame inzira ku murima izuba riva.

Ese ntibabona ko mu maso ya Kagame icyaha cy’Umuhutu ari uko ari Umuhutu nyine ? Bisubiye nk’uko byari bimeze ku ngoma ya gihake na gikolonize mu Rwanda, nk’uko Gashakabuhake wo muri Afurika y’Epfo yazizaga Abirabura ko ari Abirabura, nk’uko Hitler yazizaga Abayahudi ko ari Abayahudi. Iryo ni ryo rondakoko ry’ukuri, ngicyo ahubwo icyaha cy’inkomoko, ureke ibindi.

Gusaba imbabazi umuntu ukuziza icyo uri cyo ni uguta igihe no kumwoshya kuko ahubwo bituma akeka ko ari mu kuri. Iyo umaze gutuma akeka ko ari mu kuri, noneho “asya atanzitse”. Kera abagabo bagikubita abagore, hari abagore bamwe wumvaga bavuga bati “nankubite nyine, none se ko yankoye, byagenda bite ?”. Haba n’imvugo yabaga mu muco w’Abashinwa yagiraga iti “Kubita umugore, niba utazi icyo umuhora, we aba akizi”. Imitekerereze nk’iyo ikomoka ku myumvire mibi y’icyo bivuga kuba umwari, umutegarugori, umusore, umugabo no ku myumvire mibi y’uko abashakanye bagomba kubana. Icyo gihe rero ntacyabuza umugabo gukomeza guhonda umugore, ndetse yashaka akamwica.

Iby’Abahutu mu Rwanda ni aho bigana. Ku ngoma ya gihake na gikolonize mu Rwanda, kwica Umuhutu cyangwa kumwambura ibye nticyari icyaha. Igihe Abarabu n’Abazungu batundaga Abirabura bakajya kubagira abacakara (traite négrière, commerce des esclaves), abo Birabura bashoboraga gupfa uko bashatse, bagatumba bubeba (nk’imbeba), ibyo ntacyo byabaga bivuze. Ngaho rero aho Abahutu bo mu Rwanda bagiye gusubira.

Tugarutse ku bagore bakubitwaga n’abagabo, hari n’uwamaraga gukubitwa, umugabo akamubaza ati “wandakariye ?”. Umugore agasubiza ati “Nabarakarira nte se kandi mwankonsoraga ?” Iby’Abahutu bo mu Rwanda ni aho bigana. Kuva ubu ingoma ya Kagame izajya ifata Abahutu, ibakorere ibibi byose bishoboka, ivuge ngo iri kubakosora ubusembwa karande bavukana cyane cyane ubwo kuba abajenosideri. Abahutu bagiye gusubizwa kuri ya mvugo ya kinyarwanda ngo “Umwami yica so, ukamutura” kugirango nawe atakwica. Kandi koko ni ko byagendaga. Mu Rwanda no mu Burundi, iyo wajyaga gufata umurambo w’uwawe wiciwe ibwami, wagombaga kugenda useka kandi witwaje inka yo gushima, hato batavuga ngo warakariye umwami. Ngaho rero aho u Rwanda rusubiye.

Icyakora hari abandi bagore bihagararagaho, bakanga gukubitwa bakabwira abagabo bati “Urashaka kunkubita, aha ngo urankosora ? Uragakosorwa n’inkuba !” Ngicyo igisubizo kigomba guhabwa ingoma ya Kagame.

Ku ngoma ya gihake na gikolonize mu Rwanda, Abahutu barakubitwaga kakahava. Ikiboko cyararishaga. Ubwo kandi bakubitwaga ku kibuno, baryamye bubitse inda, bamanuye ikabutura, ipantalo cyangwa akenda babaga bambaye. Hari n’abakubitirwaga imbere y’abagore n’abana babo. Bamwe bahitagamo guhunga bakajya muri Uganda no muri Tanzaniya kuko ari ibihugu byakolonizwaga n’Abongeleza. Ntibajyaga i Burundi cyangwa muri Congo kuko naho hategekwaga n’Ababiligi’ kandi Ababiligi n’Abatutsi, “umwe yabaga ari icyitso, undi ari gatozi”. Igihe cyarageze ariko, Gahutu yanga gukomeza gukubitwa. Urebye uko ibintu biri kugenda bihindagurika mu Rwanda, noneho si ugukubitwa gusa, ahubwo agiye gusubira ku ngoyi, ayirambeho.

Muri uko gukubitwa kwabo, hari abandi bagore wumvaga bagira bati “ankubite se, ankubite igitenge, ankubite se akanyama ?” Kuba umugabo ahahira urugo bimuha uburenganzira bwo gukubita umugore no kubuza abana amahoro ? Oya rwose, habe na busa. Niba umugabo ari umutwe w’urugo, umugore ni umutima warwo. Kimwe kiryamiye ikindi, umubiri wose wahababarira, ndetse bikaba byawuviramo n’urupfu. U Rwanda rero ni ho rugana.

Iriya gahunda “Ndi Umunyarwanda” igejeje u Rwanda aho benshi mu Batutsi bumva ko aribo Banyarwanda bonyine. Umuhutu azajya aba umunyarwanda ari uko Abatutsi babimwemereye. Icyo gihe kandi nabwo, azaba ameze nk’inyana y’insindirano. Ngo “Ironka, ntitsimba”. Abatutsi bazajya bamugerera, bamuhe utuvungukira ku byiza by’u Rwanda, batumukubitireho, bagerekeho n’inshyuro aka wa mugani wa kinyarwanda ngo “Umwana w’umuja akubitirwa ku mazi nyina yavomye”.

Ni byo Kagame yatangiye avuga ko “u Rwanda rubana n’abarwishe”, ko muri leta ye harimo abajenosideri, ko nta kundi gufungura urubuga rwa politiki kuruta ibyongibyo. Ubu rero kugirango Umuhutu azabone ishuri cyangwa akazi mu Rwanda, kabone n’ubwo kwaba ari ukwikorera ku giti cye, kugirango azabone uburenganzira nk’ubw’Abanyarwanda b’ukuri, ni ukuvuga Abatutsi, ni ineza azaba agiriwe. Ibyo nabyo si iby’ubu kuko ariyo mitekerereze dusanga mu mabaruwa 2 y’abagaragu b’ibwami yo mu w’1958, mu migambi n’imigabo (statuts) y’ishyaka rya UNAR, akaba ari nayo mitekerereze mu by’ukuri ya FPR-Inkotanyi.

Ngaho rero aho u Rwanda rugana. Kera Abatutsi n’Abahutu banenaga Abatwa. Bivugwa ko Umutwa yigeze kunyura munsi y’urugo rw’abandi bugorobye mu kabwibwi, nyiri urugo amwumvise arabaza nk’uko byagendaga mu muco wa kinyarwanda ati “Yewe muntu utambuka uri nde ?”. Undi arasubiza ati “Erega sindi umuntu, ndi Umutwa”. Igihe kiregereje rero ngo Umuhutu w’i Rwanda ajye avuga ati“Erega sindi umunyarwanda, ndi Umuhutu”. Kuri radiyo, televiziyo n’ibinyamakuru byo mu Rwanda, bazajya bavuga amakuru y’ahabaye impanuka y’imodoka bagira bati“Hakomeretse Abanyarwanda batatu n’Abahutu umunani”

Umwanzuro

Niba hatabonetse bwangu abanyapolitiki bitanga ngo babogore uru Rwanda, nta handi Kagame arwerekeza hatari kuri mteremko ! Mu minsi mike iri imbere aha ibintu ntibizaba bigifite igaruriro.

Niba idaharitswe , iyi gahunda ya “Ndi Umunyarwanda” irasiga yoretse u Rwanda izuba riva.
