« Alors on vit chaque jour comme le dernier, et vous feriez pareil si seulement vous saviez, combien de fois la fin du monde nous a frôlés, parce qu’on vient de loin », chantait Corneille. Loin de moi est l’intention de faire l’éloge de « carpe diem » (=cueillez le jour), mais j’insisterai plutôt à cette fin du monde spectaculairement frôlée, dans cette matinée pluvieuse du 30 Avril 1994. Qu’ils reposent en paix, les nôtres qui ont péri ce jour-là. Vingt ans plus tard, jour pour jour, c’est l’occasion de remercier (ou mieux : rendre Grâce), pardonner et espérer.
Rendre grâce tout d’abord. Et à Dieu, naturellement. Puisque quand je pense à ce qui se passa, c’est un miracle qui fût, et j’eus la vie sauve. Imana nisingizwe. Je remercie aussi ceux qui me sont venus en aide pendant ma longue et pénible traversée du désert qui fit suite. Je ne citerai aucun nom, de peur d’en oublier un, ce qui serait scandaleux. Mais ces gens de bon cœur, seul le Tout Puissant saura les récompenser.
Ensuite, pardonner. A trois catégories de gens, (ceux qui ont eu, à un moment donné et indépendamment de cette commémoration, être pour moi source de peine), chacun dans son box. Je commencerai par ceux qui ont trucidé les nôtres, êtres chers, amis et familiers. En leur ôtant la vie, ils nous ont plongé dans un incurable chagrin, nous enfonçant dans le comble du malheur et nous avons bu le calice jusqu’à la lie. Ensuite, ceux qui nous ont fait du mal, par rejet, malgré la grande filiation. Je n’arrive pas à comprendre pourquoi. A ceux-là, j’inclue les autres malfaisants de toutes sortes : jaloux, ingrats, et comploteurs, surtout dans le monde professionnel. Le pardon va, enfin, envers ceux qui ont fait escale dans mon cœur (qu’il soit long ou court) et qui ont tourné les talons en y laissant des meurtrissures, plaies et bosses.
Je le sais, il y en a qui se foutent (comme d’une guigne) de mon pardon, et qui vont dire qu’ils ne m’ont rien demandé, qui vont faire la grosse tête et la hocher. Tant mieux et tant pis. Bravo et courage.Vous avez gagné, jubilez ! Sabrez le Moët, ça ne me changera pas d’un iota. Une chose est certaine ; l’heure tourne pour tout le monde.
Pardonner, c’est un exo difficile, je le sais. Mais quand on se dit Chrétien, il ne faut pas faire de la figuration. C’est dommage d’être Chrétien, prier sans cesse, (et parfois même à genoux et les yeux fermés !), chanter à l’Eglise et communier (le comble !) mais en ayant étiqueté certaines personnes d’obsolescents, indignes même d’être salués. Je ne tomberai pas dans ce piège. Je ne serai jamais un Chrétien de façade. Kuko Dieu est amour et Miséricorde. Un Chrétien avec un cœur en béton, sans le moindre sentiment et sans aucune goutte d’amour, c’est une piscine sans eau : il a beau âtre admiré et lui-même se croire avoir Dieu dans sa poche, mais tout ça c’est de la poudre aux yeux. Voilà pourquoi j’envoie une colombe de la paix, qui tient dans son bec un rameau de regain d’olivier, pour dire que je fais vraiment la paix. Il faut pardonner pour se projeter vers l’avant sans traîner les casseroles. Jésus nous exhorte à aimer nos ennemis et prier pour ceux qui nous persécutent (Matthieu 5,43-48).
Il faut alors garder l’espoir. Espérer, même quand les horizons semblent s’assombrir. Ne rien lâcher. Bosser. Trimer. Rester soi-même. Aujourd’hui quand je me mire, je me dis que je n’ai pas à rougir de quoi que ce soit.I am a living miracle. C’est pourquoi toute grâce doit être rendue au Seigneur. Le chemin parcouru dans ces vingt ans était plein de ravins, mais Dieu a veillé. Il continuera à veiller pour la suite aussi, kuko il aura toujours été là malgré mes faiblesses et imperfections, parce que je fais partie d’un (bon !!) plan.A mon tour, je me dois de rester sous sa sainte protection, et crier de joie à l’ombre de ses ailes (Psaume 63,7), il est mon berger (Ps 22), mon refuge (Ps 62) et il me connaît avant même que je ne naisse (Ps 139). La voici, ma raison d’espérer.
Espérer, c’est aussi garder la tête haute, ne pas se laisser avoir par les vicissitudes de la vie. Garder le cap et se maintenir. La nuance à apporter au pardon c’est qu’il s’agit d’un geste de principe et non un aveu d’échec, jamais ! L’honneur devra rester intact. Les romains l’ont dit au moyen âge, que « Potius mori quam foedari », plus tard, pendant la guerre de colonisation au dix-huitième siècle, Faidherbe l’a dit à propos des guerriers de Lat Dior, et je reprends en chœur ce dicton , qui est aujourd’hui écrit (en très gros caractères et très lisiblement !) à l’entrée du camp des diambars à Ouakam : ON NOUS TUE, ON NE NOUS DESHONORE PAS.
Mu nyandiko yiswe “Resistance: igisubizo k’ubutegetsi bubi nk’ubw’ingoma ya FPR” yasohotse ku rubuga ikazeiwacu.unblog.fr kuwa 19 Mata 2014, Jean Paul Romeo Rugero arahamagarira Abanyarwanda gufata intwaro bakarwanya ubutegetsi bwa FPR kuko ngo ariyo nzira yonyine ishobora kugamburuza Kagame Paul n’agatsiko k’abicanyi bigaruriye Abanyarwanda.
Reka ariko mbanze nibutse Romeo ko resistance bitavuga gufata intwaro gusa nk’uko asa n’ushaka kubitwumvisha kandi nyamara amaze kuduha ibisobanuro by’iryo jambo. Resistance ni ukwanga kwemera(Refusal to comply). Mu isomo ry’ubugenge (physics) resistance bivuga imbaraga zose zituma igikorwa gihagarara, izigitinza, cyangwa se zituma icyo gikorwa kitagerwaho nta nkomyi. Muri context turimo igikorwa kivugwa ni ubutegetsi bw’igitugu. Ni ukuvuga rero ko ari ukoresha revolisiyo ya rubanda igendeye ku matwara ya non-violence active, ari n’ufata intwaro agakuraho ubutegetsi bose baba bakoze resistance, kuko baba banze kwemera ubwo butegetsi.
Bityo rero byumvikane neza ko umuntu wese uhitamo kujya muri opposition nyayo aba ari muri resistance keretse uwaba ayirimo ku izina. Mpereye kuri ibi ndasanga ari jye ari na Romeo twemera ko ubutegetsi bwa FPR bukeneye kurwanywa, gusa ntiduhuza uburyo byakorwamo kabone n’ubwo twese turi muri resistance.
I.Inyandiko ya Romeo
Ku muntu wese ukurikirira hafi politiki ya opposition y’u Rwanda arabona ko inyandiko ya Romeo igamije gushungura igitekerezo cya revolisiyo ishingiye ku mahame ya non violence active. Hashize iminsi Ishyaka Ishema ry’u Rwanda ritangaza ko umurongo nyawo ryahisemo wo kugeza Abanyarwanda ku butegetsi buzaca gatebe gatoki (cecle vicieux) y’ubwicanyi yaranze u Rwanda ari revolisiyo igendeye ku mahame ya non-violence active. Mu nyandiko itangiza Ishyaka Ishema ry’u Rwanda yo kuwa 28 Mutarama 2013, twemeje ko “dushyize imbere inzira y’amahoro kuko ariyo idasesa amaraso y’inzirakarengane kandi ikubahiriza uburenganzira bw’ikiremwamuntu’.
Ubusanzwe abamenyereye iby’imishinga bita cyane ku mwitozo witwa feasibility study. Ni inyigo y’uburyo ibintu bizashoboka. Uribaza uti ese ko nshaka gutera kawa 1000 nzakenera amafaranga angahe? Aya amafaranga niyo akenewe ngo haboneke umurima, ingemwe, ifumbire, ayo guhemba abakozi, imiti yica udusimba, n’ibindi. Ikindi kandi ugomba kwibuka ko icyo ugamije atari ugutera kawa gusa, ahubwo ukeneye ko zizera ugatangira kugurisha ukabona inyungu. Ni ukuvuga ko muri iyo nyigo ugomba no kwiga amasoko ukareba uko ibiciro bihindagurika ukareba abandi bahinga kawa niba batazakubuza gucuruza n’ibindi.
Iyo iyi nyigo ikozwe neza igufasha gufata icyemezo cyo guhinga kawa cyangwa se kuyireka. Uyireka iyo ubonye ibyo uzakoresha (igishoro) biri hejuru y’ibyo uzasarura (igicuruzo).
B. Uburambe bw’umusaruro (sustainability).
Aha wibaza uburyo uzakomeza ugasigasira umusaruro wawe, uburyohe bwa kawa, isoko, … kugira ngo ukomeze wunguke ndetse bigufashe gutera imbere kurushaho. Ntacyo byaba bimaze uramutse wejeje toni 20 umwaka wa mbere hanyuma umwaka ukurikiyeho ukeza toni imwe. Ntacyo byaba bimaze kawa yawe itaye uburyohe kurusha iyo wari ufite mbere kuko nta wakongera kuyigura. Ni ukuvuga ko inyigo yawe igomba kugaragaza uko kawa izakomeza kubaho kugeza aho ugarurije amafaranga washoye ndetse ukunguka birushijeho. Ubwo twakoresheje urugero rw’ubuhinzi reka twibutse ko ugomba no kureba niba kawa yawe aricyo gihingwa gitanga umusaruro uruta ibindi bikorwa bishobora gukorerwa kuri ubwo butaka. Ibi nibyo bita kwirinda amakimbirane mu mikoreshereze y’ubutaka (land use conflicts). Ushobora gusanga byaguha inyungu nyinshi kurushaho kawa uyitemye ugahinga ibishyimbo cyangwa se ukahubaka inzu ikodeshwa!
II. Revolisiyo ya rubanda ishingiye ku mahame ya non-violence active
Ni inzira ikoreshwa mu kuvanaho ubutegetsi bwigize kagarara mu gutoteza rubanda. Icyo isaba cya mbere ni uko abaturage basobanukirwa n’amahame yayo. Abaturage bagomba kubanza kumva ko aribo batanga ubutegetsi n’ubushobozi bukoreshwa n’ agatsiko kabategeka maze kakabakubitisha inkoni biciriye. Ubutegetsi bukenera imisoro n’amahoro ngo bubeho, bukenera umuganda w’abaturage, imirimo yose ikorwa n’abaturage rimwe na rimwe bakabeshywa ko bahembwa nyamara wareba ugasanga bahabwa intica ntikize mu gihe ababategeka bahembwa akayabo. Usanga abaturage aribo bakiriya (clients) b’amaduka n’ibindi bikorwa biha amafaranga agatsiko. Ibi byose ntibyajya mbere abaturage banze kubitera inkunga. Igikuru muri byose ariko, abaturage nibo batora ababayobora. Niyo mpamvu twibutsa ko mu gihe cy’amatora ububasha bwose buba bwasubijwe rubanda.
Benshi muri twe twibuka umugabo Martin Luther King muri Leta zunze ubumwe z’Amerika wahamagariye Abirabura kwanga kugenda mu modoka z’abazungu mu rwego rwo kwanga ivangura. Ibi mu Rwanda birashoboka cyane kandi nta n’igiceri cy’ifaranga bigusaba ngo bikorwe. Na Romeo ubwe arabizi. Mu Rwanda hari inganda n’amahoteri, amaduka n’ama bus biha amafaranga abagize agatsiko. Uruganda rw’amata yitwa Inyange ni urwa madamu Jeannette Kagame. Ndamutse nanze kunywa amata ngahitamo kwinywera rutuku nta wankubita cyangwa ngo ayampe ku ngufu. Hari Bralirwa nayo iri mu nganda zizanira Agatsiko amafranga menshi. Nyamara nshobora kwanga kunywa biere nkanywa urwagwa, ninde uzaza kumpatira kuyinywa ? Birumvikana hari abazumva agatima karehareha bakumva batayireka. Ariko nyine niyo mpamvu ari urugamba nk’urundi, ntacyo wageraho utigomwe.
Hari ibindi bikorwa byinshi abantu bakora kandi bemererwa n’amategeko. Urugero umunsi umwe abadamu bose bo mu gihugu bavuze ko bagiye mu kwezi imihango) ntibajye ku kazi icyumweru byagenda gute? Tekereza abarimu bose mu gihugu barwaye mu nda umunsi w’ibizamini! Tekereza twese twanze kugenda mu ma bus ya FPR! Ese byagenda bite twanze kujya kureba umupira ko na FERWAFA yamaze gufatwa na FPR? Ibi ni ibintu bishoboka cyane kandi nta mafaranga dukeneye ngo tubikore igikenewe ni uko buri wese asobanukirwa n’impamvu yabyo. Na Romeo arabivuga ariko agasa n’aho atabisobanukiwe.
Ni ukuvuga ko urebye feasibility y’iyi nzira usanga ishoboka cyane kuko nta gishoro kinini bidusaba. Icyo dukeneye ni ukumara ubwoba abaturage. Wari uziko igihugu cy’u Rwanda ubu kibarirwa abasirikare bagera ku bihumbi ijana. Ni ukuvuga ko umusirikare umwe arinda abaturage 110. Twongeyeho polisi local defense n’inkeragutabara byagera hafi ku bihumbi 300. Ni ukuvuga ko ku baturage 37 haba hari umuntu umwe ushinzwe umutekano. Koko se urumva bidateye agahinda ko umuntu umwe apfukamisha abantu hafi 40 akabategeka kurya amazirantoki bakayamira bunguri? Habura iki? Akanyabugabo ko kuvuga ngo turanze. Ya resistance twavugaga.
Icyiza cy’iyi nzira ni uko nyuma yayo abagiye ku butegetsi nta myenda myinshi baba barimo, ntibaba kandi baritabaje ibihugu by’amahanga ngo bizabishyuze nyuma. Ikindi ni uko nta byaha baba bikoreye bityo baba bazi ko bashobora kuzava ku butegetsi ntihagire ubajyana mu nkiko. Baba barakoranye na rubanda ku buryo rubanda ibibonamo. Ntibagira iterabwoba akenshi rikunze kuranga abafashe ubutegetsi binyuze mu gisirikare.
III.Inzira y’intambara mu kurwanya igitugu
Ni inzira ikunze kwitabazwa n’abantu benshi. Mu karere k’ibiyaga bigari yarakoreshejwe cyane muri Uganda, Rwanda, Repubulika iharanira demokarasi ya Congo, u Burundi. Icyo dukwiye kwibaza ni ukureba niba ishoboka ubu mu gihugu cy’u Rwanda.
Iyo ugereranyije Intambara na ya nzira y’amahoro turangije kubona haruguru usanga isaba byinshi cyane. Isaba base arrière, ni ukuvuga aho abasirikare bisuganyiriza, bahagurukira ndetse bakahavurira inkomere, bakahogereza imbunda bakahakirira amasasu yatumijwe, n’ibindi. Kugira ngo iyi base iboneke hagomba kuba igihugu cyemera kuyitanga. Hagomba abasirikare bahagije kandi bahora biyongera kuko ari nako baba bapfa buri munsi. Hagomba amafaranga yo kugura ibibatunga, imyambaro, amasasu, imbunda nshya zigezweho, technology y’itumanaho, amaradio ya gisirikare, ibikoresho by’ubutasi. Intambara kandi ikenera na diplomacy iyisobanura. Mu by’ukuri ku bakunda intambara, kwica si icyaha, icyaha ni ukutamenya gutanga ibisobanuro. Abakora diplomacy rero bagomba kuba bemewe mu ruhando mpuzamahanga badahigwa, bagomba kuba bafite ibya ngombwa ngo babashe kuzenguruka amahanga basobanura gahunda zabo, bashakisha ubufasha n’ibindi. Kuzenguruka amahanga ntibikorwa ku maguru cyangwa ku gitogotogo nabyo bisaba amafaranga. Ubwo abashaka intambara nabo batubwira ibyo bafite uko bingana.
IV.Kuki nahitamo inzira ya revolisiyo ishingiye kuri non violence kurusha intambara?
Icya mbere base arrière yarabuze. Uganda niyo yaremye Kagame iramushyigikira. Kugeza ubu nta kigaragaza ko Roho mutagatifu azamanukira kuri Museveni akamutegeka ko agomba gufasha abarwanya Kagame. Tanzania ni igihugu cyikundira amahoro. Ikindi ubu perezida Kikewete asigaje imyaka ibiri gusa akigira muri pension. Ntashaka kwiteranya na Kagame werekanye ko ari umurwayi bagira inama akabyita igitutsi. Congo ni akaduruvayo gasa. U Burundi bwananiwe kwiyubaka ku buryo usanga atari ahantu hakwizerwa.
Tubaye nk’abasubiza amaso inyuma, FPR Inkotanyi yateje intambara mu Rwanda zivuga ko ziharanira uburenganzira bw’Abatutsi. Kugira ngo zifate ubutegetsi hari hasigaye mbarwa kuko abenshi bahaguye, hagwa abahutu batagira ingano ndetse n’abanyamahanga barishwe. Kubera ko FPR izi ko yafashe ubutegetsi ikoresheje imbunda igomba no kuburindisha imbunda. Ihora ikeka amababa uwo ari we wese kuko izi ko benshi batayikunda. Iyo iza kuba yarakoze igikorwa cya rubanda ntacyo yari kwikanga kuko rubanda yari kwibona mu musaruro wagezweho. FPR yagwatirije igihugu yemerera abayifashaga urugamba ibintu byinshi kugira ngo ibashe kubona ibikenerwa n’urugamba. Uyu munsi wa none gushaka kurwanya FPR bisaba kuyirusha diplomacy, abasirikare, imbunda n’amasasu. Ubwo uzashaka kuyirwanya azumve ko bishoboka, yego, ariko yereke Abanyarwanda uko uwo mushinga uri feasible, igihe uzamara n’uburyo umusaruro uzasigasirwa.
Gusa nanone iyo ngereranyije izi nzira zombi, nsanga iya mbere ariyo yarushaho kutworohera naho iya kabiri yo simvuga ko idashoboka ariko irasaba byinshi tudafite. Ikindi izakurura impunzi imene amaraso menshi twongere dusubire kuri case départ.
Umwanzuro
Mu gusoza rero nta shiti ko igisubizo cyihuse kiri muri revolisiyo ya rubanda ishingiye ku mahame ya non-violence active. Aya mahame atuma umuntu yambura umunyagitugu imbaraga nyamara atamukozeho. Nta tegeko rihana umuntu wanze kurya icyo adashaka. Revolisiyo igira imbarutso kandi muri iyi minsi hari ebyiri zishoboka:
Iya mbere ni uko Kagame ashaka guhindura itegekonshinga. Abanyamahanga bamaze kumwihanangiriza ko atagomba kugundira ubutegetsi nawe abizeza ko ariwe mutegetsi ntangarugero, ko azubahiriza itegekonshinga. Kuryubahiriza ni ukutongera kwiyamamaza. Ashobora rero gushyugumbwa agashaka kurihindura maze agasaba abaturage ngo bakore referendum. Ngiyo imbarutso ya revolisiyo kuko tuzahagurukira rimwe tukamuvugiriza induru maze abaturage 40 bakaba biteguye guhangana n’ushinzwe umutekano umwe uziha kubarwanya.
Indi mbarutso ishoboka ni amatora ya 2017. Kagame aramutse adahinduye itegekonshinga ashobora gushyiraho umuntu yizeye cyane azakoresha maze FPR ikamutangaho umukandida. FPR ntikunzwe na busa,nk’uko yabimenyereye nitsindwa amatora iziha ibyo kwiba amajwi bityo abaturage bamaze kurambirwa bayivunderezeho ubumara bw’umujinya yabateye imyaka ikaba ibaye 20. Ng’uko uko umukandida uzaba yatanzwe na opposition kandi Ishyaka Ishema ryarangije kumugena, azagera ku butegetsi maze akimakaza ingoma y’amahoro. Ibi nta base arriere bisaba, diplomacy ubwayo irikora kuko ntawavuguruza abaturage bavuze ijambo ryabo binyuze mu nzira zemewe n’amategeko. Ninde utabona ko uyu ari umushinga ujya mbere?
ICYITONDERWA : Ushaka kumenya neza ibyerekeye Revolisiyo ishingiye ku mahame ya non-violence,agasobanukirwa uko itegurwa n’uko ishyirwa mu bikorwa, yakurikira ibiganiro 10 byitwa Inzira y’amahoro Radiyo Ijwi rya rubanda yagiranye na Padiri Thomas Nahimana , Umuyobozi w’Ishyaka Ishema, akaba n’Umukandida uzahagararira iryo shyaka mu matora y’umukuru w’igihugu yo mu 2017.
Around a dozen members of Stanford STAND, a human rights group, demonstrated outside a Graduate School of Business event featuring Rwandan President Paul Kagame last Friday, in an effort to prompt conversation of and raise awareness about allegedly repressive actions by Kagame’s administration.
According to Jared Naimark ‘14, the STAND students demonstrated at the event because the Stanford chapter of the national STAND organization focuses explicitly on human rights in Sudan, South Sudan, Burma, Syria and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Rwanda has repeatedly intervened in Congo in recent years.
The group also works with Friends of the Congo, an organization based in Washington, D.C. that works to raise awareness about challenges faced by people in the Congo and to support Congolese institutions.
Demonstrators emphasized, however, that their efforts were not intended to interrupt the procession of the event.
“We [were] not planning to disrupt the event in any way,” Naimark said. “We’re curious to hear what he had to say. The goal is to get information in people’s hands.”
The demonstrators handed out informational factsheets and flyers that detailed human rights violations allegedly perpetrated by the Kagame administration, as well as printed copies of an editorial article that they had published in The Daily that day, according to Melanie Langa ‘16, a member of STAND and one of the demonstrators.
“STAND was interested in changing the dialogue around this event because we felt it wasn’t representative of the whole story,” Langa said. “There are whole stories and perspectives that you can take to this event. Since he’s been president, Rwanda has made many strides and has improved and [Kagame’s] done a good job in a lot of cases and scenarios but it’s also important to recognize that his government has been destabilizing Eastern Congo and because of that we are interested in making sure that side of the story people knew about.”
Scott St. Marie MBA ‘15, one of the student coordinators of Kagame’s address, stated that he thought the STAND students’ presence at the event was beneficial.
“I’m glad that they were there to help broaden our dialogue about Kagame and Rwanda,” St. Marie said. “Rwanda has a tumultuous and complex history, and I’m glad we were able to talk about multiple perspectives.”
In fact, St. Marie later approached the students and ensured that one of the STAND representatives could engage in the audience participation portion of the event. Audience questioning, according to St. Marie, included queries about term limits and whether Kagame has plans to run for a third term.
“We passed out all the flyers we brought and people were very receptive,” Langa said. “I think it was very successful. We got people to think of other issues that we didn’t think would be addressed without some kind of push and we’re contributing to what might be missing from that conversation.”
Kizito Mihigo (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.

Le président angolais José Eduardo Dos Santos entame mardi 29 avril une visite officielle de deux jours en France. A midi, il aura un entretien et un déjeuner officiel à l’Elysée avec son homologue français, François Hollande. C’est la première visite en France du président Dos Santos depuis l’affaire des ventes d’armes russes à l’Angola – l’Angolagate – qui a éclaté en France à la fin de l’année 2000, avec des poursuites judiciaires contre l’homme d’affaires franco-brésilien Pierre Falcone. Une affaire qui a crispé les relations entre les deux pays.
Les relations entre les deux pays ont souvent été difficiles mais désormais, Paris souhaite « passer à une nouvelle étape ».
Il faut dire que le dernier épisode dans la querelle franco-angolaise ressemble plutôt à un pied de nez. Les autorités de Luanda ont effectivement décidé d’accorder à Pierre Falcone, sous contrôle judiciaire en France, le statut de conseiller diplomatique de leur délégation auprès de l’Unesco à Paris.
Pour Luanda, il fallait protéger Pierre Falcone qui a aidé l’Angola à acheter des armes à un moment où le pays en avait besoin pour sa survie, mais également passer un message de fermeté aux autorités françaises qui n’ont pas tenu leurs promesses dans « l’Angolagate ».
Dans cette affaire en effet, plusieurs personnalités politiques françaises, suspectées d’avoir été les bénéficiaires de commissions occultes, avaient été mises en cause et José Eduardo dos Santos s’était personnellement impliqué pour demander le retrait des plaintes. Depuis lors, le chef de l’Etat angolais boudait la France et notamment le sud où il avait l’habitude de passer ses vacances d’été.
Sur le plan économique, Luanda a également multiplié les menaces voilées concernant la poursuite du partenariat en matière de pétrole sans pour autant prendre des mesures de rétorsion contre Total, le groupe français, qui demeure dans ce secteur deuxième partenaire de l’Angola .
Lors de cette visite officielle en France, le président angolais s’entretiendra également avec le président de l’Assemblée nationale puis rencontrera des patrons de grandes entreprises françaises, des hommes d’affaires et des investisseurs représentant plusieurs secteurs d’activité.
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.
The comments were issued on Sunday by the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK), which handles cross-border affairs, following the US president’s two-day visit to Seoul. He arrived in Malaysia on Sunday for the penultimate stop on his four-nation tour of Asia.
While Pyongyang is known for its aggressive rhetoric, recent remarks have been unusually personal.
Earlier this month state media ran misogynist articles, including one headlined “We accuse Park the bitch“, labelling her as a lunatic, idiot and “cold-blooded animal” and emphasising the fact that she has never married or had children.
Those remarks were presented in the form of quotes from ordinary North Koreans, while the latest tirade, carried by state news agency KCNA, is presented as a statement from an official body.
“What Park did before Obama this time reminds one of an indiscreet girl who earnestly begs a gangster to beat someone or a capricious whore who asks her fancy man [pimp] to do harm to other person while providing sex to him,” North Korea’s CPRK said.
Obama and Park had warned Pyongyang it could face strengthened sanctions if it detonated a fourth nuclear device, after North Korea said it could carry out a new kind of test. Satellite imagery has shown increased activity at a test site.
Those remarks “laid bare her despicable true colours as a wicked sycophant and traitor, a dirty comfort woman for the US and despicable prostitute selling off the nation,” said the CPRK.
It said the trip had shown North Korea was right to have concluded it should deal with the US “by force only, not just talking, and should finally settle accounts with it through an all-out nuclear showdown”.
The statement also suggested that Park would be assassinated like her father, the late South Korean dictator Park Chung-hee. “Genes remain unchanged,” it said.
But experts do not believe the attacks are propelled by lingering animosity towards her father.
“It’s not so much about her personally, but rather a symbol of a new rhetoric … I think this is an attempt to use the same kind of emotional abuse as [Kim Jong-un‘s] grandfather,” said Tatiana Gabroussenko, an expert on the regime’s ideology and propaganda at Korea University in Seoul.
She said that while North Korea always attacked its southern neighbour’s politicians, the “loud, personalised” tone of recent abuse seemed to echo the approach of the 1950s and early 60s. It might be part of emphasising his likeness to his grandfather, with a return to “proletarian candour”, she said.
“That was something used in Kim Il-sung’s time and applauded; it meant he was ‘one of us’, not an elite intellectual, speaking from his heart,” she added.
John Delury of Yonsei University described the remarks as “a new low point in the misogyny”.
He added that Pyongyang’s “deeply counterproductive” methods showed how ignorant it was of South Korea.
“There are deep fractures in South Korea and a lot of ways that North Korea could manipulate that,” he said.
Using the “comfort women” comparison in particular touched on an extremely sensitive issue, not only insulting Park but also the survivors of the second world war brothels, he noted.
VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis on Sunday proclaimed John Paul II and John XXIII as the Catholic Church’s newest saints at a ceremony joined by hundreds of thousands of pilgrims for the two pontiffs who helped shape 20th century history.
“We declare and define as saints the blessed John XXIII and John Paul II,” the Catholic leader said in a Latin prayer, as pilgrims and foreign dignitaries massed in St Peter’s Square applauded and chanted: “Amen!”
In his homily, Francis praised them as “men of courage” who worked “in renewing and updating the Church”.
“They were priests, bishops and popes of the 20th century. They lived through the tragic events of that century but they were not overwhelmed by them.
“For them, God was more powerful,” he said.
Pope emeritus Benedict XVI, 87, who last year became the first pontiff to step down since the Middle Ages, made a rare public appearance in his white papal cassock and Francis embraced him before the ceremony.
Francis was co-celebrating the mass with Benedict XVI and hundreds of bishops and cardinals — the first time that two living popes said mass together.
It was also the first time that two Catholic Church leaders were being declared saints on the same day.
Commentators defined the event as a “four-pope day” and the Vatican said 800,000 people followed the event in Rome, including 500,000 in and around St Peter’s Square.
Many faithful waved the red-and-white flags from John Paul II’s native Poland and some wore Polish folk costumes while one pilgrim held a banner reading: “Two pope saints in heaven, two in St Peter’s Square”.
“We are followers of all four popes who have all been close to the people. This is an historic day but one that you really feel inside,” said Luisa Tomolo, an Italian revelling in the festival atmosphere.
Thousands watched the ceremony on giant screens set up in picturesque spots of Rome, witnessing an unprecedented event seen as a way of uniting conservative and reformist wings of Catholicism.
John Paul II was hugely popular but was also a divisive figure who alienated many leftist Catholics during his 27-year reign and has been criticised for turning a blind eye to revelations of child sex crimes by priests.
His support for Marcial Maciel, the Mexican founder of the Legion of Christ movement who was revealed to be a serial sexual predator, was particularly controversial.
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.
