Yari iminsi ikomeye  cyane m’ubuzima, bugitangira byarangoye kubyakira cyane ko ntatekerezaga ko nshobora gufungwa n’itangazamakuru  mu gihugu kigendera ku mategeko, cyemeza ko gifite  itegeko nshinga rya Repubulika rihamya neza ko umunyarwanda afite ubwisanzure  mu bitekerezo, n’ubwisanzure bw’itangazamakuru.

Ntanubwo nari niteze gufungwa kuko nahamyaga ko niyo nakora ikosa mu bijyanye n’umwuga hariho Inama nkuru y’Itangazamakuru ifite amategeko ayigenga , ko iyo wabaga wakoze ikosa yagutumizaga ukisobanura ugakosora iyo nkuru mu gihe cyateganyijwe, ndetse hakiyongeraho n’Umuryango uhuza abanyamakuru , n’Inzu y’abanyamakuru, hejuru y’ibbyo byose nari ntarahamagarwa na rimwe ngo nisobanure ku makosa yakorewe mu mwuga, nkuko byagiye bigenda kubandi banyamakuru .

Tumaze gushyikirizwa inyandiko ikubiyemo ikirego, nabonye ko  hari urwego ruba rutubahiriza inshingano zarwo kuko mu nkuru Nkusi Uwimana Agnes yaregwaga harimo izo yari yarahamagajwe n’Inama nkuru y’Itangazamakuru, azisabira imbabazi yemera no kuzikosora, ariko ibyo byose ntacyo byamaze nahise ncika intege, ahubwo ibyabaye agahoma munwa nuko izo nkuru  yanaziburanye m’urukiko akazigirwaho umwere, ibyo kwiringira urwo rwego byari nk’inzozi.

Ikindi cyari kimaze kuduca intege kurushaho nuko inzego Nkuru (HCM) n’imiryango y’abanyamakuru yari yatugize ibicibwa twarinze tujya kuburana ntawudusuye  ngo aduhumurize, ndinze mva muri gereza  izo nzego ntanarumwe rurahagera,gusa bamwe muri bagenzi bacu bari basanzwe  ari inshuti batugezeho kandi batubaye hafi turabashima Imana izabaduhere Umugisha.

Icya kabiri : Ntihanganiye muri kamere yanjye numvaga nta byaha bisa nibyo banshinje nashoboraga gukora mpereye ku mateka yanjye bwite ndetse n’umuryango wanjye, abanzi neza bo babaye nkabakubiswe n’inkuba iyo nkuru igitambuka mu bitangazamakuru, buri wese  ku giti cye yarashidikanyije yibaza niba ari ukumvirana ariko nyuma bumva inkuru ni kimomo ko nafunzwe nzira ibyaha byo Kuvutsa igihugu umudendezo n’amacakubiri, hakiyongeraho Ingengabitekerezo no gusebya Umukuru w’Igihugu. Ubwo by’ari bigitangira ,abantu bacitse umugongo mbese tekereza ukuntu umuryango wanjye wahungabanye , utekereje ko Jenoside yakorewe abatutsi 1994  yawusize ari inkehwe abasigaye araho navutse ndetse naho nashatse  babarirwa ku ntoki.

Musaza wanjye Kayinamura Bedwa we yari ataranashyingurwa dore ko yashyinguwe kuya 18/04/2012  kubufatanye bw’Inama Nkuru y’Itangazamakuru mu Rwanda, nkaba mboneyeho no kubashimira by’umwihariko  mbikuye k’umutima. Kuko yari umunyamakuru  muri  Kinyamateka.

Sinabashaga kwihangana mu ntangiro y’uburoko kuko nageze muri gereza ngasangamo abafungiye umuryango wanjye  iwacu kwa data , aho mama akomoka ndetse naho nashatse, harimo ababyemera, harimo nabafite ingononwa k’umutima ko barenganyijwe, aba bose  twagombaga kubana kandi tukihanganirana muri urwo rugendo rukomeye nari ntangiye mu gihe twari dutegereje kuburana  ngo twisobanure kubyo turegwa, tukarenganurwa.

Ntanubwo bya nyoroheye kuko nagiye mpura n’abantu b’ingeri zose bafungiye ibyaha bitandukanye kandi buri wese afite uburyo y’iyumva mu mibereho ya buri munsi ,  byari bigoye kubana  n’abantu bagifite ihungabana ry’ibyabayeho bafungiwe kwihekura, bari kumwe n’abishe  cyangwa bagize uruhare muri jenoside yakorewe abatutsi 1994 ku miryango yabo,bahoraga bahangayikishiijwe nuko bamwe mu bo bagiranye ibibazo baba kwena  ko ari abicanyi  kimwe nabo hakiyongeraho ko bishe abana babyaye, byose  bikaba  ingararuka za jenoside yakorewe abatutsi 1994.

Kuko mu gihe cyo hambere umwana yatwaraga inda  yagira ubwoba  agahungira kwa nyirasenge no nyina wabo, aho hose ugasanga ntaho akigira agafata icyamezo cy’ubugome cyo kwihekura.

Ha kiyongeraho abana baba baraje gukorera amafaranga i Kigali, yahagera umukozi bakorana akamutera inda akabura aho ayerekeza,  SIDA iri guca ibintu  yakwiheba akayikuramo bikarangira ari muri gereza.

Muri rwo ruhurirane rw’ibabazo  ihohoterwa ry’abakozi bo murugo Boss akamwihererena,aka mukorera ibya mfura mbi Nyirabuja yagiye ku kazi akaba arayimudometse, yatangira kugaragara bati vuga uvuyaha bakamushyikiriza police bati ya dufatiye umwana ku ngufu ,  leta ikaba ibonye umutwaro  wo kurera no gufunga  inzira karengane ,inkiko zikaba iyooo , yaburana akaba umwere amazemo igihe kirekire  umwaku wamusingira bakamukatira kubera kubura abunganizi mu mategeko.

Ubuzima bwari bukomeye kubana n’abantu nkabo bibabariye, hakiyongeraho abacuruzaga ibiyobyabwenge , bagatirwa amezi 3,4 barafatanwe amakamyo , uwafashwe arinywa, cyangwa afite udutabi dutanu akatiye imyaka itatu cyangwa se n’ibiri, icyabaga gikomeye kuruta ibindi nuko yumvaga atazareka ku bicuruza kuko ubuzima bwabaga bwaramunaniye , yaracuruje agataro buri munsi bikaba ari i Gikondo kwa Kabuga, byakwanga akishora mu buraya akavanayo Sida, akaba afite umwana ku mugongo inda atazi uwayimuteye, niyo ya mu menya i se akaba atemera uwo mwana, mu gihe babaga bahangayitse  kuko utundi twana twabaga twarasigaye mu nzu z’inkodeshanyo bene zo badasiba kuri gereza  kuba  gusaba ko bagumana  na mama wabo, barushagaho guhangayika kuko abo baricuririzaga aribo bari bashinzwe kubafata, kandi ugasanga  bene imari ari simbibazwa.

Uburoko bwa ndyaga kurushaho iyo natekerezaga ko abana twasize  bashobora kuba baryiyahuza  ,wasubiza amaso inyuma ugasanga ari ikibazo gikomeye ku miryango ifunzwe  kuko buri gihe wahuraga n’ababyeyi bataka ko abana babo banze ishuri, abandi babuze amafaranga yo kwishyura   n’ibindi bisa nabyo , kuko bahitaga biheba bakigira mu muhanda,hakiyongera agahinda k’abana batazi ibyo ababyeyi babo bakoze basabwaga kwishyura ibyo ba se cyangwa ba nyina bangije,mu  muri jenoside yakorewe abatutsi 1994, abenhi bari bakiri incuke.hakabamo n’ababyeyi bazi neza ibyo bakoze, bakigira ntibindeba, gusa bagashima  Imana  ko bakiriho ari impuhwe bagiriwe na FPR  ubundi nabo bagombaga kuba barapfuye, bitewe n’ amarorerwa bakoze., aba kandi ntabwo bari bahangayitse cyane kuko nibo bari mu nzego z’ubuyobozi za gereza , ibyo bakeneye byose babibonera igihe bashakiye kuko bavuga rikijyana, abenshi barasurwa buri saa sita n’imiryango yabo, abana babo baba sura buri wa gatandatu wa mbere  w’ukwezi , abari mu Burayi baba gezaho ku ma devize.

Hakagorwa abatazi ururo n’icyatsi bagomba kuryozwa ibyo batakoze, Ibi byiciro byose twagombaga kubana kandi buri wese tukamutega amatwi kugirango dusesengure neza ibibazo byari muri gereza cyane ko njye no mubyo nashinjwaga ko navuvuze ko abantu barengana,  nagombaga gutegura urubanza nshingiye kubimenyetso narinsanganwe n’ibyo nari gukura kubo turi kumwe.

Muri iyo minsi yo guhangayika twagombaga no gutegura urubanza  ,twatangiye kubazwa n’Urwego Rukuru rw’Ubushinjacyaha , nyuma naje guhanagurwaho icyaha cy’Ingabitekerezo, gusebya Umukuru w’Igihugu, kuko Ubushinjacyaha Bukuru bwasanze bitampama, runsigira icyaha cyo Gukurura Amacakubiri, nabyo btarangiye mbibayeho umwere nkuko bigaragara k’urupapauro rumfunga rwanditswe na polise kw’itariki ya 10/07/2010, nabyo birangira nta na kimwe kimpamye, ahubwo bazana ikirego gishya ngo cyo kuvutsa igihugu umudendezo.

Ubutabera

Mu Rukiko Rukuru rwa Kigali na gombaga kwisobanura ku byaha bibiri, Mpagaze imbere y’Urukiko nisobanuye ku cyaha cyo Gukurura macakubiri byari bimpangayikishije  nubwo  umutima wanjye utanciraga urubanza kandi ntashoboraga no kurota mu nzozi mbikora nkurikije uko nari niyizi, ndetse n’abasanzwe bazi imyitwarire yanjye gusa nisanzuye aho bidashoboka ntanga igitekerezo mu bihe bidakwiye kuko twari twegereje amatora  nkurikije ibyo nagiye mbwirwa nyuma yuko tumaze gukatirwa.

Urubanza rwarasomwe  mba umwere ku byaha byose naregwaga ,Urukiko rumpamya icyaha cyo kuvutsa igihugu Umudedenzo negetsweho n’ubushinjacyaha Bukuru, bampa igihihano kigifungo cy’imyaka irindwi narumiwe , kuko buri wese ntiyasobanukiwe ,mu gihe  abo twaregwaga icyaha kimwe duhanwa n’itegeko rimwe , kandi twaburanishijwe n’Inteko imwe yari iyo bowe n’Umucamanza Pio Mugabo yari imaze guhanisha Ntaganda Bernard imyaka itatu, ihanisha Nkusi Uwimana Agnès imyaka itanu ,iyo nteko irihanukira indwinga imyaka irindwi yose  myiza myiza mw’ijambo rimwe yantsindangiye ingana na Mandat y’Umukuru w’igihugu, narabitekereje biransiga si ukubeshya.

Muri rusange urwo rubanza rwarangiye Nkusi Uwimana Agnès bamuhanishije  imyaka myinshi 17  ijya gusingira iya Madiba  n’amahazabu y’amafaranga y’u Rwanda 250000frw, bampanisha igihano navuze haruguru no gufatanya kwishyura amagarama y’urubanza, twahise tujuririra Urukiko rw’ikirenga, urubanza ruburanishwa umwaka wakurikiyeho , rucibwa  kuwa 06/4/2012 bagabanyiriza Nkusi Uwimana Agnès igihano bamuhanisha imyaka ine,bamuhamije icyaha cyo kuvutsa Igihugu umudendezo bakimukatiraho imyaka itatu, n’umwaka umwe  wo gutuka Umukuru w’Igihugu, amahazabu akurwaho, nanjye bampanisha igifungo cy’imyaka itatu bampamije icyaha cyo kuvutsa Igihugu Umudendezo, nubwo bari baturenganyije ariko twariruhukije kuko twumvaga iyo myaka yo ibarika tuzayirangiza Imana idutije ubuzima, kuko yaba Nkusi Uwimana Agnès yari afite ikibazo cy’uburwayi budakira, nari maze kuzahazwa n’indwara y’umutima hikubisemo na diyabete, urumva ko twari tumaze kuremererwa n’ibibazo by’igifungo cya gaherere, imiryango yacu twasize dore ko twembi twari abapfakazi abana bagomba no kwiga.

Hakiyongeraho naho twari turi buri wese agucaho agacinya undi urwara ati :dore, ba bagore b’ibyihebe, kandi biyibagije ibyabo, raporo  z’urudaca   wakorora wacira, tugatumizwa m’ubuyobozi. Hari uwadusekeje rimwe sinzabyibagirwa: yaradutumije ari mugitondo, tugenda twibwira ko ari agakuru keza agiye kutubwira dore ko  hari hashize iminsi twandikiye Umukuru w’Igihugu tumusaba ko yakoresha ububasha ahabwa n’itegeko, tunashingiye ku mvugo yari yivugiye ubwo yabazwaga n’abanyamakuru Kampala, ko atamenye ibyifungwa ryacu ngo  iyo abimenya  tutari dukwiye gufungwa , nuko tuti umenya harimo akajambo,ntitugezeyo  imbere y’Umuyobozi wa gereza ati :”niko mwa bagore mwe ngo harya muzazunguza gereza mu kureho  amatafari ? cyangwa muzurira  mwirenge  ? ko tubafiteho ububasha mwa kwemeye mu gafungwa ?”

Ubwo atubwira ibyo bamuturegeye  ararangiza, natwe turaruca turarumira habe niyo mu nda ngo irajorora, turumirwa amaze kutubwira icyo atekereza ati : ni munsohokere mu biro, natwe dukizwa nayo twameze ijambo ryiza twari twiteze rirabura tujumarirwa tujya gukora uburoko na Morale nyinshi. Reka mbamare amatsiko y’ukuntu twakuruye uburoko.

TUMAZE GUKATIRWA

Twabayeho ubuzima bugoye birumvikana kuko ntakindi kizere twari dufite cyo kuva muri gereza uretse kurangiza ibihano, ubuzima bw’umufungwa bwari burangiye tubaye abagororwa. Nsobanure ko umufungwa nuba atarakatirwa, umugororwa aba yaramaze kugenerwa ibihano n’inkiko, twagombaga kubahiriza amabwiriza ya gereza uko yakabaye,uhereye m’Umudugugu aho utuye, Akagali no k’Umurenge dore ko haba ubuyobozi nkubwo mu nzego zose zo mu gihugu, gukora isuku, aho utuye ndavuga muri bloc ubamo ariwo mudugudu, ikibuga, urwiyuhagiriro, ubwiherero , mbese byaterwaga naho bagupanze akazi,ariko mu by’ukuri byarashobokaga ko wabonaga umuntu  akagusayidira  bitewe nuko akubashye, kuko nubwo muri gereza harimo abantu bafunzwe hari abana n’ababyeyi bagifite uburere gusa bahangayikishijwe n’uburemere bw’ibihano bahawe, abategereje kuburana, n’abandi bagifite icyizere cyuko imanza zabo zizasubirwamo.

Aha ariko sinabura kuvuga ko hari abandi batuje bemeye icyaha bagasaba imbabazi ku byaha bakoze muri Jenoside yakorewe abatutsi 1994, bari mu nzego z’ubuyobozi runaka bwa gereza ,aba nabo bafite inshingano zitandukanye barigisha ubumwe n’ubwiyunge usanga bafata iya mbere igihe cy’icyunamo mu gutanga ubuhamya ku byabaye ,bamwe muri bo bagatanga amakuru bigafasha abatarabona imibiri y’abavandimwe babo aho ikijugunwe hirya no hino.bigisha gusoma no kwa ndika, indimi, bakora imilimo inyuranye kuboha, gufuma, abandi nabo bafungiye ibyaha bisanzwe ubasanga mu nzego zunganira abandi mu butabera, imibereho myiza, n’ahandi bakenewe. Aba nabo nubwo bemeye ibyaha bahora mu masengesho y’urudaca ngo Imana izakoreshe Umukuru w’Igihugu adohore atange imbabazi nk’izigeze kubaho , kandi bakifuza ko rya tegeko rya EAC ryo kubara ijoro n’amanywa riramutse rigiyeho ryakorosha ibihano, dore ko itegeko rishya rivuga ko ukatiye burundu yahabwa imbabazi arangije imyaka 20, harimo  rero muri abo abakatiye  hagati ya 17 na 30 bamaze kurangiza 18 bifuza ko haricyo Uwiteka yabakorera agasubiza amasengesho yabo .

Nkiri mu butabera harimo ya nkuru ya ¼  cyabaye nkaya mabati bategereje amaso ahera mu kirere dore ko abahanga gutanga morale baza bati ni mwandike kuko noneho kizajya gitangwa buri gihembwe, iyo bigeze aho impungure (inkoko) ntizirara  kubera morale mbese buri wese ukwije ibyangombwa arara azinga utwangushye, ubwo bwacya bati abakecuru n’abasaza, abarwayi,n’utabashaga kweguka  bucya asindagira  ngo adasigara abandi bagiye mu ngando bagategereza weeeee …… umwaka ugashira undi ugataha, abapfa bagashyingurwa mu Gatenga .abandi ibihano bikarangira bagataha . ukibaza ya nkuru y’imvugo ngo niyo ngiro ukumirwa .

Hari n’abandi bireze  bakemera ibyaha  bya nyirareshwa, bakaba bagihishiriye abakoze ibyaha, iyo muganiriye akenshi bakubwira  ko banganga kwiteranya n’imiryango yabo, aba ubasanga mu byiciro bibiri :

Iyo yabaga  yarashatse mu muryango wahigwaga, maze aho akomoka bakagira uruhare  mw’iyicwa ry’umuryango yashatsemo  ntiyari kubasha gushinja basaza be na ba se wabo. Hakaba nubwo we aba yarahigwaga  agashaka mu muryango wakoze Jenoside 1994 ntiyashoboraga gushinja abo yashatse ngo abana be bataza mwanga ndetse na bene wabo w’umugabo akaba inzigo ariko akirengagiza ko nubwo we bamuhishe ariko hari abandi bahemukiye.Bagiye bayandikira amaso yaheze mu kirere kuko kubona amarangiza rubanza ari ikibazo kingora bahizi ngo hakurikijwe uburyo byashyizwe mu bubiko.

Abandi nabo bahuye n’ikibazo n’abafite abantu benshi bagiye babashinjura , bireze ibyaha bakabisabira imbabazi ariko mu byukuri abo bashinjuye  ntibafungurwe kandi nta rundi rubanza baregwamo, ugasanga guhuza ayo madosiye ngo abantu barenganurwe bigoye kuko baba bari mu ma Gereza atandukanye, bityo bakaba bafite inyota yo kurenganurwa,iki kibazo kandi kigora inzego z’ubuyobozi bwa Gereza kuko kigaruka buri munsi , abafungwa basaba Gereza ibidashoboka kuko baba bifuza ko gereza ibakorerea kopi za madosiye kandi yo ifite agapapuro gafunga umuntu gusa, idashobora no kujya kubisaba mu zindi Gereza ngo izo dosiye zihuzwe.

Hakabamo rero n’abinangiye imitima ukaba ufunganye n’umuntu wabeshyeye ubizi neza, akaba atamubohora, ahubwo ugasanga mu gitondo cya kare bazindutse iya rubika bafashe Bibiriya, amapendo n’amashapure barahimbaje birakomeye ,ishapure amasaro bayavuye imizi, kandi uri kumwe n’umuntu afungishije azi neza ko arengana, abo iyo muganiriye ahita akubwira ati : nawe nafungwe yantanzeho amakuru  yibwira ko nzafungwa agasigara ,ati nantwaze agatimba, nawe abana be babe impfubyi, ati burundu yanjye agomba kuyimfasha.

Muri uruwo rusobe rw’ibibazo hakiyongeraho abantu bakatiwe n’inkiko bagakora ibihano byabo bakabirangiza imyaka 15,17, n’iri munsi yayo igihe cyo gutaha cyagera dosiye zabo zikabura,ubundi ngo ntizuzuye, ubu bakaba baraheze mu gihirahiro.

MU GUSOZA IMINSI YANJYE IGIHUMBI NA MIRONGO IRINDWI    N’ITANU

Ndashimira cyane ababyeyi bambaye hafi, bamwe mu bayobozi  ba Gereza ba mfashije igihe n’abaga mfite ibibazo by’uburwayi, urubanza, by’ari bigoye  kubona ugutega amatwi kuko  hari abaduhutazaga batubwira ko turi ibipinga, twigize akaraha kajya he.

Ndashimira mbikuye k’umutima Umuyobozi ndashatse kuvuga izina ariko narabimubwiye arabizi ku mpamvu z’umutekano we yanyeretse ko yarezwe , kandi ari umuyobozi koko ugorora ariko afite n’ubumuntu muri we .Groupe Impessa  yo muri Gereza ndabazirikana kandi nzabakorera ubuvugizi aho ijwi ryanjye rizagera.

Mu gusoza urugendo rwanjye ndashima ubutwari bwa Nkusi Uwimana Agnès yagaragaje mu burwayi bwe, mu bikorwa bye bya buri munsi, yitangira abandi, kandi ndifuza ko Imana yagira icyo ikora agataha muri cya  kane  kitagira umunsi   n’isaha ,abantu bahora bategerej kuko icyaha gikomeye twaregwaga twakirangije igisigaye ¼ acyemererwa n’itegeko,  ndabatashya mwese kandi ndabakumbuye abo twasangiye umuruho, amajoro y’imperi nyinshi, umubabaro wo  gutana n’imiryango yacu, ariko mwihangane kandi mukomere nta joro ridacya, n’imvura yo kubwa Nowa yarahise. Hari igihe Imana izaseka mu kumva ngo n’umunsi w’imbabazi inzugi zigakinguka. Hobeee  mwese. Kandi ndagusuhuza Sawuli nda kwibuka iyo wa munsi w’ubukwe wageraga.

 Imana ibarinde kuko itahe ari ubusa.

Niba koko imvugo ya Muhumuza Richard ariyo nakurikirane uwamusimbuye kandi arenganure uwo muturage k’umutungo we yambuwe.

Ikindi ntazagwe mu mutego wuwo asimbuye. Aha namwibutsa ko Gahima Gérard yavuye kuri uyu mwanya ahitanye cash za BACAR, aho yasabiye Maman we Crédit y’ibimiliyoni byinshi, kandi imyaka ye itabimwerera. Iri ni isomo rirakomeye kuko byaviriyemo uyu muherwe guhunga, nyuma na Gahima amusanga mu buhungiro, asanzeyo Rwigema Pierre Céléstin. None Ngoga Martin nawe ashobora kubasangayo kubera gutinya uburoko n’abantu yarunzemo. Ubwo ariko mu gihe nawe yahigaga abandi bashobora gusimburana, bamwe binjiye i Kanombe nawe asohoka. None ibirenge ntibijya imbu kujya i mbere? Umushinjacyaha Mukuru mushya azacunge neza nawe izamu rye. Guhunga no gufungwa ni bya bose kuko udakora nta kosa.

Ariko hari hakwiye kujyaho uburyo abakoresha nabi ya ndahiro yo mw’Itegekonshinga rya Repubulika y’u Rwanda bavugira mu Nteko cyangwa mu rw’Ikirenga bitwaje imyanya bahawe barenganya abaturage, bazajya babiryozwa batagombye gusezererwa mu kazi gusa. Ariko se wamurega kwa OPJ kandi ariwe umuyobora? Haba se hasigaye abanyamakuru bonyine bashobora gushyira hanze amabanga y’ikuzimu ko abageza ibabazo kuri Perezida baba batoranyijwe?

Which part of Victoire Ingabire’s speech is evidence of divisionism?

download (2)On the 16th January 2010, Mrs Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, having stayed abroad for 16 years, returned to her country to register her political party and run for presidential elections. It was her first time back in Rwanda since the genocide committed against Tutsi people. On her very first day in Rwanda, she went to lay a wreath of flowers at the Gisozi Genocide Memorial Centre and made a speech on unity and reconciliation.

Her speech, translated in English below, has been submitted as evidence in the court of law on divisionism and revisionism charges leveled against her. We took a close look at the content of her speech and we are asking our readers which part is really evidence of divisionism.

“I would like to say that today, I came back to my country after 16 years, and there was a tragedy that took place in this country. We know very well that there was a genocide, extermination. Therefore, I could not have returned after 16 years to the same country after such actions took place. They took place when I was not in the country. I could not have fallen asleep without first passing by the place where those actions took place. I had to see the place. I had to visit the place.

“The flowers I brought with me are a sign of remembrance from the members of my party FDU and its executive committee. They gave me a message to pass by here and tell Rwandans that what we wish for is for us to work together, to make sure that such a tragedy will never take place again. That is one of the reasons why the FDU Party made a decision to return to the country peacefully, without resorting to violence. Some think that the solution to Rwanda’s problems is to resort to armed struggle. We do not believe that shedding blood resolves problems. When you shed blood, the blood comes back to haunt you.

“Therefore, we in FDU wish that all we Rwandans can work together, join our different ideas so that the tragedy that befell our nation will never happen again. It is clear that the path of reconciliation has a long way to go. It has a long way to go because if you look at the number of people who died in this country, it is not something that you can get over quickly. But then again, if you look around you realize that there is no real political policy to help Rwandans achieve reconciliation. For example, if we look at this memorial, it only stops at people who died during the Tutsi genocide. It does not look at the other side – at the Hutus who died during the genocide. Hutus who lost their people are also sad and they think about their lost ones and wonder, ‘When will our dead ones be remembered?’

“For us to reach reconciliation, we need to empathize with everyone’s sadness. It is necessary that for the Tutsis who were killed, those Hutus who killed them understand that they need to be punished for it. It is also necessary that for the Hutus who were killed, those people who killed them understand that they need to be punished for it too. Furthermore, it is important that all of us, Rwandans from different ethnic groups, understand that we need to unite, respect each other and build our country in peace.

“What brought us back to the country is for us to start that path of reconciliation together and find a way to stop injustices so that all of us Rwandans can live together with basic freedoms in our country.”

Since the day she made this speech on January 16th 2010, Ms. Ingabire Umuhoza continued to draw sharp criticism with regard to her position on the country’s law on genocide as well as being accused of inciting the public with inflammatory remarks.

In an interview accorded to News Time Africashe commented on her own speech and stated that  ”the big problem we have in Rwanda; and that’s the difference between us and the regime of general (President) Paul Kagame, we think if we are to really achieve reconciliation of the Rwandan people, we need to fully talk about what happened, why genocide was committed in the country, why the crimes against humanity were committed, whose responsibility was it and what we have to do together as Rwandan people to avoid the same problem in the future. Talking about it, we trust it is the only way to achieve total reconciliation.”

In an article on The Rising Continent, the author raises the same question about the speech and “ had most of the difficulties trying to find in above text some even far related invocations or references which could direct the prosecutor to any of the crimes Victoire Ingabire is accused of. My efforts remained futile. I had only to guess. Since she is clearly talking of Tutsis and Hutus, the two main Rwandan ethnic groups, and what happened in 1994, or before and even after, I had only to use my imagination and come to some conclusion that she must’ve stated something that the Rwandan government did not want to hear publicly.”

“Victoire Ingabire was and still is publicly requesting punishment for all the criminals who saddened Rwandans (Tutsis as well as Hutus), and sincere reconciliation among citizens from all ethnic groups. Unless the Rwandan government and its ruling party – Rwandan Patriotic Front, don’t want any of these for the population, there would be serious doubts about what they have been preaching inside the country and to the rest of the world on these specific issues.” (read The Rising Continent here)

Paul Kagame, the man of the season: by sentencing Ingabire Victoire to 28 years of jail, he is putting Mandela back to the cross.

kagame-2-edKagame has broken the record in killings: More than 8 million Rwandans and Congolese have been murdered. Scared of democracy, he sends the main political opponent into jail. This is the most shameful wound of our time, and the complicated scar in our future.

For some time a certain circle of her supporters compares the imprisoned Rwandan woman politician Victoire Ingabire to the Thai political figure Aung San Suu. However, what is sure is that the sentence given by the Supreme Court in Kigali to that opposition leader might give her a status more close to Nelson Mandela than anybody else.

In fact, the judge presiding on the verdict explained that if it was not for the family of the accused living in The Netherlands she would have received 28 years of imprisonment instead of 15 years announced by the court.

It was on Friday December 13th, 2013. Probably if the verdict had been pronounced at a different time, its dimension could’ve been something else. The timing between the passing of Nelson Mandela and the sentencing of Victoire Ingabire can undoubtedly link the two personalities.

This is what Jean Bosco Mutarambirwa is saying on the two political figures:

“[…]the reporter tried to ask the right questions. Kagame mumbled throughout like a retard. The guy has nothing to say! Seriously! You can tell Kagame is ashamed of himself because he knows he stands against everything Mandela stood for.

… Why 15 years of jail? Simply because Ingabire wants justice for all Rwandans, tutsis and hutus alike. She’s the Madiba of Rwanda.

ingabire-with-her-2-lawyers

Ingabire Victoire  (in pink) jailed to have reminded Paul Kagame that like killed Tutsis, killed Hutus must be commemorated.

Kagame is basically torturing and putting Mandela him back to the cross, while pretending that he’s mourning. Mandela must have been turning in his coffin when he saw Kagame in the room today.

Kagame is accusing Madame Ingabire of exactly the same crimes PW Botha was accusing Mandela when he robbed 27 years of his life, taking him away from his beautiful wife and young children. Kagame is doing exactly the same to Ingabire, a wife, and a young mother of three. If the world believed Mandela was really a criminal, then the world wouldn’t be mourning Mandela. But if the world stands with Mandela today, the world will stand up for Ingabire as well. Kagame is the ultimate loser which he doesn’t seem to realize.

– Mandela formed a coalition government with his jailers; Kagame is murdering, sending to refuge, and throwing in jail those who dare to speak against his evil actions.

– Mandela negotiated peace with his jailers for the sake of a reconciled nation; Kagame is too busy calling FDLR names such as terrorists, genocidaires, etc, and has categorically refused to talk to them despite their expressed interest in negotiating a peaceful repatriation.

– Mandela has lived a simple life; Kagame is too busy collecting expensive private jets, filling his offshore bank accounts, buying mansions overseas, etc, while the average Rwandan citizen is literally crippling in poverty.

– Mandela put South Africa to the path of democracy through free elections, and left power in time to preserve a legacy; Kagame is busy crashing his opposition and rigging elections every time he organizes one, and has no plans to leave power.

I can go on and on and you would get tired of reading the differences between Kagame and Madiba. Long story short, Kagame stands against everything Mandela stood for. If you agree to some extent that Mandela deserves to be named a saint, then you would agree to some extent that Kagame deserves to be called a devil.

If you want to learn more, all you need is search the web. There’s ample evidence online about Kagame’s crimes and have let to the loss of over 6 million lives of Rwanda’s and DRC’s people, close enough to breaking Hitler’s slaughtering record. For a more comprehensive summary, check out Newsweek at http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2013/01/13/the-case-against-rwanda-s-president-paul-kagame.html”

At the end of her sentencing on Friday 13/12/13, Victoire Ingabire had this to say:  Do not be afraid, we continue our struggle. Time and History are on our side (…) so do not get discouraged, the fight continues.”She addressed her supporters while leaving the court in handcuffs, greeting them with her thumbs up as usual.

Congolese historian and activist BK Kumbi expresses the African dimension of Victoire Ingabire case this way:

“When Kagame will fall and Victoire will be out, most of the people will come and say what a great woman she was. If we don’t understand that this woman is hope for Africa, if we don’t understand that we as a people, as Congolese, Rwandans, Ugandans, we should support this woman and ask this criminal to set her free, is that we don’t understand the essence of the heart of Africa that beats in that woman’s body. The day Victoire set a foot back in Rwanda she became a hero and we should celebrate our African heroes when they are still alive.”

Kambale Musavuli, also Congolese activist and spokesperson of the Friends of the Congo raises a question and expresses his solidarity:

It is still sad that the many organizations working in Africa, pushing for women leadership, are all silent on the unjust imprisonment of Victoire Ingabire. As a Congolese human rights activist, I stand in solidarity with her and the many Rwandans fighting to have a representative government in their country, despite US interference in supporting dictator Paul Kagame.”

ICC: Kenyatta Must be present at trial.

Kenyatta at ICC

In a statement released today via the ICC website, the trial chamber recommended that the Kenyan president must be present during the trial proceedings.

“Trial Chamber V (b) held, by majority, Judge Eboe-Osuji dissenting, that as a general rule, Mr Kenyatta must be present at trial. Any future requests to be excused from attending parts of the trial will be considered on a case-by-case basis,” reads the statement.

President Uhuru Kenyatta is allegedly criminally responsible as an indirect co-perpetrator pursuant to article 25(3)(a) of the Rome Statute for the crimes against humanity of:

Murder (article 7(l)(a));

Deportation or forcible transfer (article 7(l)(d));

Rape (article 7(l)(g));

Persecution (articles 7(l)(h)); and

Other inhumane acts (article 7(l)(k)).

Here is the full statement from ICC.

Today, 26 November 2013, Trial Chamber V(b) of the International Criminal Court (ICC) reconsidered its previous decision excusing Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta from continuous presence at trial, in light of the legal clarifications provided by the Appeals Chamber in its recent judgment on the matter.

Trial Chamber V(b) held, by majority, Judge Eboe-Osuji dissenting, that as a general rule, Mr Kenyatta must be present at trial. Any future requests to be excused from attending parts of the trial will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

The Chamber reasoned that the Appeals Judgment, delivered on 25 October 2013 in the case The Prosecutor v. William Samoei Ruto and Joshua Arap Sang, provided important new information which justified the reconsideration.

The Appeals Chamber had concluded that a Trial Chamber enjoys discretion under article 63(1), which states that “[t]he accused shall be present during the trial”, but that such discretion was limited.

The Appeals Chamber had ruled that absence is only permissible under exceptional circumstances, and must be limited to that which is strictly necessary.

It further held that the decision as to whether the accused may be excused from attending part of his or her trial must be taken on a case-by-case basis.

Background: On 18 October 2013, Trial Chamber V(b) had conditionally granted the Defence’s request to excuse Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta from continuous presence at his trial, with the exception of the following sessions: the opening and closing statements of all parties and participants, hearings when victims present their views and concerns in person, the delivery of judgment, and any other attendance ordered by the Chamber.

If applicable, his presence will also be required at sentencing hearings, the delivery of sentence, the entirety of victim impact hearings, and reparation hearings.

On 28 October 2013, the Prosecution filed a motion for reconsideration of the 18 October decision, in which it requested the Chamber to vacate the excusal decision and revert to the general rule under article 63(1).

Mr Kenyatta is charged, as an indirect co-perpetrator, with five counts of crimes against humanity consisting of murder, deportation or forcible transfer, rape, persecution and other inhumane acts allegedly committed during the post-election violence in Kenya in 2007-2008. Charges were confirmed on 23 January 2012, and the case was committed to trial before Trial Chamber V(b). His trial is scheduled to commence on 5 February 2014.

Joseph Kony might negotiate his surrender, ending a long, murderous rampage

JosephKony_alt1-a163dbc97362ceeea4abe92610179d8e76dd52f4-s6-c30
Mr. Kony, who has been indicted on war crimes charges by the International Criminal Court in The Hague, has been hiding in jungles in the Central Africa for years with a band of child soldiers and a harem of child brides. He formed the Lord’s Resistance Army more than 25 years ago with the aim of overthrowing the Ugandan government. He had been on the run in recent years, sought by more than 2,000 Ugandan troops supported by American Special Operations units.

Officials in the Central African Republic have been in contact with members of the Lord’s Resistance Army who are seeking to surrender, though there is little evidence thus far that Mr. Kony is among them. An African Union official fueled speculation about Mr. Kony, saying that the rebel leader had a “serious illness.”

A State Department official said that the United States had been aware for several months that a small group from the Lord’s Resistance Army was in the Central African Republic, but that there were few signs that Mr. Kony was himself a part of that group.

“Many times in the past, Joseph Kony and his senior commanders have used — and we believe will continue to use — any and every pretext to rest, regroup and rearm,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, “ultimately returning to kidnapping, killing, displacing and otherwise abusing civilian populations.”

That skepticism is shared by the Ugandan military. “The L.R.A. is not a very reliable partner,” said Lt. Col. Paddy Ankunda, a spokesman for the Ugandan military. “We support the initiative on principle. If they can get serious that’s good, but they’ve never been serious.”

Mr. Kony was the focus of the video “Kony 2012” by the advocacy group Invisible Children, which became a sensation on the Internet last year, bringing mainstream attention to the altar boy turned brutal rebel, who often wore wigs and costumes. His fighters were known for kidnapping thousands of children and brainwashing them into becoming killers themselves, who committed gruesome acts like sawing off lips.

But the Lord’s Resistance Army has been seriously weakened in recent years and many of his followers have defected. The Central African Republic’s president, Michel Djotodia, told Abou Moussa, the special representative and head of the United Nations Regional Office for Central Africa, that he was in contact with Mr. Kony and that he was encouraging him to surrender.

A spokesman for Mr. Djotodia, Guy Simplice Kodegue, confirmed that the president had recently spoken with Mr. Kony, and that he was in the country. He said Mr. Kony had agreed to lay down his weapons.

Kasper Agger, a field researcher for the Enough Project, based in Uganda and focusing on Lord’s Resistance Army, said that “the report has been circulating for some time behind the scenes.” He said that the group was under “unprecedented pressure” between the American special forces and the Ugandan troops involved in the hunt.

Speaking to reporters at the United Nations on Wednesday, Francisco Madeira, the African Union special envoy for Lord’s Resistance Army issues, said that, “Many reports that we have received indicate that he is suffering from some serious illness, some uncharacterized illness.”

Many analysts have long held that Mr. Kony will not give himself up and risk transfer to The Hague. “Having studied the L.R.A., knowing my history, I see no truth that Kony would ever come out,” Mr. Agger said. “I don’t believe it’s in his game plan to come out peacefully.”

Adam Nossiter contributed reporting from Dakar, Senegal, and Rick Gladstone from New York.

Case against Kenyan, Ugandan and Rwandan govts filed at EACJ

world002pxArusha. Three Tanzanians yesterday (Nov 18, 2013) filed a case at the East Africa Court of Justice against the Kenyan, Ugandan and Rwandan governments and the East Africa Community (EAC) secretary general.

The four are accused of violating the EAC treaty after holding three meetings which sidelined Tanzania and Burundi which are other member states.

Those who filed the case at the Arusha-based court are Mr Ally Msangi, Mr David Makata and Mr John Adam. They pray for judges at the court to suspend the implementation of resolutions reached during the meetings of presidents Uhuru Kenyata of Kenya, Yoweri Museveni of Uganda and Paul Kagame of Rwanda.

Their lawyer Jimm Ubedi said his clients are challenging the three presidents for holding meetings on June 24 and 25 in Entebbe, Uganda, followed by another meeting which was held on August 28 in Mombasa, Kenya, and another meeting which was held on October 28 in Kigali, Rwanda.

According to him, the meetings violated the Section 6 (a) (b) (d) and (f), Section 7 (f), Section 71 (d), Section 3 (3) and Section (1) C (3) c of the EAC treaty, which require all EAC member states to be involved in making decisions with regard to the integration process.

Presidents of Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya met under what was later dubbed as the ‘Coalition of the Willing’ to go ahead and fast-track the East Africa integration to create the East African federation in the shortest possible time.

Pope Francis ‘is mafia target after campaigning against corruption’

Pope Francis‘s crusade against corruption has made him a target forItaly‘s all-powerful mafia clans, a leading anti-mob prosecutor has warned.

Nicola Gratteri, who has battled Calabria’s shadowy ‘Ndrangheta mafia, said on Wednesday that Francis’s attempt to bring transparency to theVatican was making the white collar mobsters who do business with corrupt prelates “nervous and agitated”.

He told the Italian daily Il Fatto Quotidiano: “Pope Francis is dismantling centres of economic power in the Vatican.

“If the bosses could trip him up they wouldn’t hesitate. I don’t know if organised criminals are in a position to do something, but they are certainly thinking about it. They could be dangerous.”

Francis, who has called for “a poor church”, has backed reform at the Vatican’s bank, which has been suspected for years of being a channel for the laundering of mob profits. This week police impounded a luxury hotel on Rome’s Janiculum hill – formerly a monastery – which the ‘Ndrangheta allegedly purchased from a religious order.

In a fiery sermon on Monday, Francis railed against corruption and quoted the bible’s advice that practitioners be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck.

“The mafia that invests, that launders money, that therefore has the real power, is the mafia which has got rich for years from its connivance with the church,” said Gratteri. “These are the people who are getting nervous.”

Gratteri attacked priests and bishops in southern Italy who legitimise mobsters. “Priests continuously visit the houses of bosses for coffee, which gives the bosses strength and popular legitimacy,” he said. A bishop in Locri in Calabria had excommunicated mobsters after they damaged fruit trees owned by the church, he said. “But before that episode, the bosses had killed thousands of people” without being sanctioned, he added.

Boosting the strong links between mob and church is the fierce religious devotion of the gangsters themselves, he said, adding that in his 26 years as a magistrate he had never raided a mafia hideout which did not contain a religious image. “There is no affiliation rite that does not evokereligion. ‘Ndrangheta and the church walk hand in hand,” he said.

A survey of jailed mobsters had revealed that 88% were religious, he added. “Before killing, a member of the ‘Ndrangheta prays. He asks the Madonna for protection.”

Gratteri said mobsters did not consider themselves wrongdoers, and used the example of a mafioso putting pressure on a business owner to pay protection money, first by shooting up his premises, then by kneecapping him. “If the person still refuses, the mobster is ‘forced’ to kill him. If you have no choice, you are not committing a sin.”
