Rwanda: Paul Kagame says NO to leaving power in 2017

Amanpour asked if that meant “yes,” he would step down.

He replied, “No. It is a broad answer to say you don’t need to worry about anything.”

Spanish protest against the presence of Paul Kagame in Spain back in 2010.

On the supposed 52nd anniversary of the Rwandan Democracy Day, the Rwandan President Paul Kagame hints to Amanpour, CNN presenter that he will not leave power in 2017.

Being a dictatorship which claims to be democratic, the RPF regime has removed from official celebrations the remembrance of the day when Rwandans back in the 1960s came together to acknowledge the benefit of choosing their rulers for the first time in their history.

On January 28th, 1961 Rwanda celebrated the outcome of a popular referendum which months before had seen the country ending the monarchy rule and elected its people’s local representatives.

Under the RPF rule, not only has the Rwandan President silenced any critical voice of its numerous damageable policies, but it does neither appear ready at all to give room to any democratic expression of citizens in the short or medium term.

Please watch and listen to Paul Kagame’s interview with CNN journalist Amanpour by clicking here. 

For those in the Rwandan political opposition, from now they need to know. He [President Paul Kagame] is not going anywhere. He is not willing to leave office when his current term ends.They should align their strategies accordingly. To remove RPF from power they must force out its president.

President: Betray Rwanda, Face Consequences

KIGALI, Rwanda January 12, 2014 (AP)

It’s a matter of time before those who’ve betrayed Rwanda face consequences, Rwandan President Paul Kagame said Sunday, nearly two weeks after the killing of a former Rwandan spymaster turned dissident.

The body of the former head of Rwanda’s external intelligence service, Col. Patrick Karegeya, was discovered in a Johannesburg hotel on New Year’s Day. South African authorities believe he was strangled. Kagame’s critics have accused him of ordering the killing. Government representatives have not denied or accepted responsibility.

Kagame said Sunday: “You cannot betray Rwanda and get away with it. There are consequences for betraying your country.”

Karegeya, a wartime ally from Kagame’s days as a rebel leader, fled to South Africa in 2007.

“It’s a matter of time, whoever betrayed the nation cannot escape the consequences,” Kagame said in Kinyarwanda during a national prayer breakfast meeting.

He warned that you cannot walk away from the country that made you who you are and expect to get away with it.

“I cannot be apologetic about that if you know the grenades that have been thrown on our streets killing Rwandan children,” he said, in an apparent reference to the accusations by the government that Karegeya and other dissidents were behind a spell of grenade attacks in the Rwandan capital.

South African police are looking for a man who was last seen with Karegeya before his death.

A former Rwandan Lt. Gen. Kayumba Nyamwasa, who has survived two assassination attempts in South Africa, said the man who was last seen with Karegeya was Rwandan businessman Apollo Kiririsi Gafaranga who befriended the victim in jail and who Karegeya trusted.

Nyamwasa and others accuse Rwanda’s president of ordering Karegeya’s killing and two 2010 attempts on Nyamwasa’s life in Johannesburg.

Theogene Rudasingwa, another Rwandan dissident and formerly secretary general of Kagame’s Rwandan Patriotic Front party, told The Associated Press that Karegeya’s body was found in a room rented by a man called “Apollo.” Police said Karegeya, who had a home in the town of Roodepoort just outside of Johannesburg, had checked into the hotel.

Karegeya, Nyamwasa, Rudasingwa and some others were once allies of Kagame, and became critics. Karegeya headed the feared external intelligence agency from 1994, when Kagame’s rebel movement took power and ended the Rwandan genocide, until 2004. Several Kagame opponents were killed in that time, including former Interior Minister Seth Sendashonga, who was gunned down in Nairobi, Kenya, in 1998.

The most recent killing that critics blamed on Kagame is the October 2012 death of Theogene Turatsinze, the former managing director of the Rwandan Development Bank who was found tied up and floating in the sea in Mozambique.

Karegeya’s killing comes five months after he claimed to have incriminating evidence that would prove Kagame, who is lauded by Western leaders for ending Rwanda’s genocide, actually provided the catalyst for the mass killings.

In a July interview with Radio France International, Karegeya charged that Kagame ordered the downing of a jet that killed the Hutu presidents of Rwanda and neighboring Burundi, the event that triggered the genocide in which some 800,000 Tutsis and some moderate Hutus were killed over three months.

Karegeya said on RFI that he was willing to hand his evidence to a court in France that is investigating because the plane’s pilots were French.

RNC nigire icyo itangariza Abanyarwanda

Nk’uko tubikesha ikinyamakuru Umuryango.com, ngo umenya Kayumba Nyamwasa amaze kumanika amaboko akaba yiyemeje gutaha mu Rwanda agakorana na FPR. N’ubwo bwose nta wizeye ukuri kw’iyi nkuru, RNC nitagira icyo itangaza birafatwa nk’ukuri.

Ubwanditsi

Dore uko iyo nkuru ibivuga.

arton10526-79805Kayumba Nyamwasa wigeze kuba umugaba w’Ingabo z’u Rwanda, nyuma akaza guhungira muri Afurika y’Epfo, aho hamwe na bagenzi be bashinze Ishyaka RNC ritavuga rumwe n’ubutegetsi bw’u Rwanda, biravugwa ko yaba ashaka kugaruka gukorera mu gihugu imbere.

Inkuru dukesha africanudo.wordpress.com ivuga ko Kayumba Nyamwasa yagiye yohereza Intmwa ahantu hatandukanye nko muri Leta zunze ubumwe za Amerika, mu Bwongereza ndetse no mu Karere ka Afurika y’Uburasirazuba, aho izo ntumwa ngo zabaga zifite ubutumwa bwihariye bugenewe Perezida Paul Kagame mu rwego rwo kwiyunga.

Nk’uko icyo gitangazamakuru cyakomeje kibyandika, ngo byari bitegnyijwe ko ibisabwa kugirango Kayumba abe yagaruka mu Rwanda byaba byatunganye mbere y’impera z’ukwezi kwa Gashyantare uyu mwaka.

Iki kinyamakuru kandi cyakomeje kivuga ko umushinga wa Kayumba Nyamwasa wo kugaruka mu Rwanda, waba ushyigikiwe kandi ukanaterwa inkunga na ANC ishyaka riri ku butegetsi muri Afurika y’Epfo, aho Cyril Ramaphosa Umuyobozi mukuru wungirije w’iryo shyaka ari we wahawe inshingano zo kumugeza mu Rwanda.

Cyril Ramaphosa umwe mu banyemari bakomeye muri Afurika y’Epfo, bivugwa ko yaba yaragiranye amanama atandukanye na Kayumba Nyamwasa hamwe na Patrick Karegeya kuva muri Nyakanga kugeza mu Gushyingo 2013, aho ngo baganiraga ku kuntu yatera inkunga inama idasanzwe ya RNC (Rwanda National Congress) yari iteganyijwe mu Gushyingo.

Iyo nama yari iteganyijwe muri Afurika y’Epfo, ngo yari kubera igihe kimwe n’izindi nk’iyo zagombaga kubera i Londres mu Bwongereza, i Washington muri Leta zunze ubumwe za Amerika , i Parismu Bufaransa, i Bruxelles Mu Bubiligi ndetse n’i Sydney muri Australia.

Gusa ngo kuwa 18 Ugushyingo umwaka ushize w’2013, Minisiteri y’Ububanyi n’amahanga muri Afurika y’Epfo yashyikirije kayumba Nyamwasa na Patrick Karegeya ibaruwa ibamenyesha ko batemwerewe gukoreshereza iyo nama ku butaka bw’icyo gihugu.

Ngo ku munsi wakurikiyeho (ubwo ni kuwa 19 Ugushyingo 2013), Kayumba na Karegeya batumije abanyamuryango bakuru ba RNC baba muri Afurika y’Epfo, mu nama y’igitaraganya yabereye muri hoteli ya Protea Hotel Centurion i Johannesburg.

Ngo iyo nama yamaze amasaha ari hagati ya 18 na 21, aho Kayumba na Karegeya basobanuriye abandi banyamuryango kuri iyo baruwa, maze Kayumba ababwira ko nta cyo izahungabanya kuri gahunda y’iryo shyaka, yemeza ko inama izaba nta kibazo.

Kubera icyizere gicye cy’uko iyo nama yazaba ku banyamuryango bamwe, Kayumba yahise ahindura inyito y’iyo nama, maze ayita “Ingando”, bateganya ko yazamara iminsi ibiri mu mpera z’ukwezi kw’Ugushyingo, ariko yimurirwa kuwa 21 na 22 Ukuboza, ariko birangira ikozwe mu munsi umwe kuwa 21 Ukuboza 2013.

Gusa kugeza ubu impamvu ifatika yatumye Cyril Ramaphosa yemera gushyigikira uwo mugambi wa Kayumba wo kugaruka mu Rwanda ntiramenyekana.

Kayumba Nyamwasa yahoze ari umusirikare mu ngabo z’u Rwanda ku ipeti rya Jenerali (Gen.) akaba yaranazibereye Umugaba wa zo, nyuma aza no guhagararira igihugu cye (Ambasaderi w’u Rwanda) mu Buhindi mbere y’uko ahungira muri Afurika y’Epfo muri Gashyantare 2010.

Yaje kurusimbuka kuwa 19 Kamena 2010, ubwo yagabwagaho igitero, maze nyuma aza kwishyira hamwe na Patrick Karegeya na we wari umusirikare w’u Rwanda ku ipeti rya Koloneli (Col.) mbere y’uko yamburwa amapeti, akaba yarigeze no kuyobora ubutasi bwo hanze y’igihugu.

Aba bombi hamwe na Dr Théogène Rudasingwa na we wari umuyobozi w’ibiro bya Perezida Paul Kagame ndetse na Dr Gerald Gahima wari Umushinjacyaha mukuru, bahise bashinga Ishyaka Rwanda National Congress RNC, ritavuga rumwe n’ubutegetsi bw’u Rwanda.

Nk’uko africanudo.wordpress.com yakomeje ibyandika, uwatangaje gahunda ya Kayumba yo kugaruka mu Rwanda ntiyagaragaje niba hari isano byaba bifitanye n’urupfu rwa Karegeya.

2.Uwo iyi diskuru igamije kubwira ni nde 

Paul Kagame ntabwo yari azinduwe no kubwira abari mu giterane, abanyamahanga cyangwa abanyarwanda bose muri rusange !

Umaze kumva izi ngingo tugaragaje haruguru, ashobora kongera agatega amatwi Ijambo Perezida Paul Kagame yavugiye muri kiriya giterane, yarushaho gusobanukirwa.

  1. Amagambo Kagame yakoresheje  si ay’umukuru w’igihugu, ni ay’Umuterabwoba (Terroriste) wabigize umwuga !

Koko rero nyuma y’iminota 21 avuga ubusa, Paul Kagame yageze aho agusha ku ntego, agaragaza icyo atekereza ku rupfu rwa Koloneli Patrick Karegeya bakoranye igihe kirekire akaba aherutse guhotorerwa mu gihugu cya Afurika y’Epfo anigishijwe ikiziriko ! Iki gikorwa cy’iterbwoba kikaba cyarasakuje cyane mu mahanga kigatera n’abanyarwanda benshi agahinda kavanze n’ubwoba .

Paul Kagame yeruye avuga ko mu by’ukuri ari we wivuganye Nyakwigendera Patrick Karegeya, kandi ngo akaba yumva abifitiye uburenganzira, ndetse ngo akaba yiteguye kwivugana n’abandi bose bashaka impinduka nziza mu gihugu , ngo mu rwego rwo “kurinda ibyo amaze kubaka”, ni ukuvuga ko yiteguye gukoresha ingufu zose z’igihugu mu kurengera imitungo ye bwite amaze kurunda abikesheje gusahura igihugu na Kongo:

(1)Kagame yanenze « Intore » ze zagize ubwoba bwinshi muri iyi minsi, zigatitizwa n’iki gikorwa cy’iterabwoba zari zimaze gukora mu gihugu cy’abandi, bityo ngo zikaba zimaze iminsi zititira , zikirirwa zandika utugambo mu bitangazamakuru zigerageza kwikuraho icyaha hagamijwe kwikura mu isoni no gukingira ikibaba umutware wazo Paul Kagame.

(2)Kagame yashimye abantu ba « Birihanze » nka Ministri w’Intebe Petero Damiyani (na Louise Mushikiwabo) , (babandi bamenyereye kwiterera mu mata nk’isazi, bakarwana urwo batashoje), wanditse kuri Twitter yigura ngo arebwe neza ngo« uwo ari we wese wagambanira u Rwanda » agomba kwitegura ko bizamugiraho ingaruka ! Kandi nyine uwo yitagaga ingambanyi ni Patrick Karegeya wari umaze guhotorwa!

Umugabo mbwa aseka imbohe, none ni Karegeya mu kiziriko ,ejo ni Damiyani ! Ari Kagame ubikoze ! Ntawe utabinona keretse Damiyani !

(3)Kagame yatoboye yemeza ko ikibazo atari uko « Leta y’u Rwanda » yaba yarivuganye Patrick Karegeya mu buryo buteye isoni nka buriya , ko ahubwo ikibazo gikomeye ari uko « Intore ze zananirwa gukora ibikorwa by’iterabwoba »nk’ibyo.

Mu yandi magambo Perezida Paul Kagame arahamagarira abicanyi ba FPR gushishikarira kumara abandi benegihugu bita “abanzi n’ingambanyi” bahorwa gusa ko bamagana akarengane ;Kagame arizeza “Intore ze” ko ubwicanyi bwabo n’iterabwoba ryabo bitazahanwa n’inkiko ahubwo ko bizafatwa nk’ibikorwa cy’Ubutwari ! Undi mugabo ni uw’iki !

(4)Kagame yagaye abategetsi b’abanyamahanga bakomeje kumucyaha no kumushinja kuba inyuma y’ibikorwa by’iterabwoba bibangamiye Abanyarwanda n’ubusugire bw’ibindi bihugu ; we abona ngo nta somo bakwiye kumuha kuko nabo ubwabo bakora ibikorwa by’ubugizi bwa nabi bikubye incuro 1000 ibye mu nyungu z’ibihugu byabo. Icyo ashingira yemeza ko nawe afite uburenganzira bwo kungikanya ibikorwa by’urukozasoni ngo kuko n’ubundi “iyi si nta kuri ikoresha” !

Iyo ingoma nk’izi zigeze mu marembera, kimwe mu bimenyetso zitanga ni uku kwisumbukuruza kw’abayobozi bazo : hari n’abaryama bakarota ko bahindutse “Imana Ishoborabyose”(Toupuissant), bugacya bategeka abaturage babo gupfukama bakabasenga! Paul Kagame niryo korosi ariho akata !

Ibi birerekana ko nta garuriro, Kagame nta cyo agitinya : abaturage, amategeko, amahanga…. nta kigishoboye kumukoma mu nkokora mu migambi ye mibisha, icyo ashatse cyonyine niryo gikwiye gufatwa nk’itegeko rivuye mu ijuru ! Iyi ngingo irakomeye cyane Abanyarwanda bakwiye kuyumva neza , bakamenya n’inyenga umuyobozi nk’uyu abaganishamo ! Aho ubu sibwo nyine bakwiye kugira bwangu bakamubwira bati « slow down » (genza make) nk’uko atahwemye kubyisabira muri iki kiganiro ?

(4)Kagame yatangaje ko abirirwa bidegembya hanze babiterwa n’umurengwe wabibagije ko u Rwanda arirwo rwabagize icyo baricyo.

Aha Kagame yaguye ku ijambo. Icy’ukuri muri ibi avuga ni uko Kagame ari we koko wabagize icyo baricyo ubungubu  : IMPUNZI !

Umwanzuro

(1)Tutabiciye ku ruhande, Paul Kagame akomeje kwibwira ko abenegihugu bo mu bwoko bw’Abatutsi ari ingaruzwamuheto ze zikwiye kwemera kuba ibikoresho by’inyungu ze gusa , ubutarora ku ruhande. Kuva ku italiki ya 1/10/1990, yarabashumuye ngo barimburwe(reba igitabo : Kagame a sacrifié les Tutsi) agira ngo akunde yifatire ubutegetsi mu nyungu ze, none n’abagerageje bose kumubwiza ukuri, bakagaya akarengane akorera abenegihugu, nibo yita « Abanyamurengwe bibagiwe icyabakuye mu bucakara !

Kandi si ubwa mbere abicisha ! nabo ntibabiyobewe.

(3)Igikomeye kurusha byose mu byo Kagame yatangaje, ni uko yerura akagaya  “abakoze ikosa ryo kumugira umuyobozi w’igihugu », (ari nabo yiyemeje kurimbura!) kuko mu by’ukuri ngo yiyiziho ko atari umuntu wifitemo ubushobozi bwo kubaka igihugu “gituje”ahubwo akaba yaragaragaje kenshi no mu buryo bunyuranye ko ari umuntu ufite gahunda imwe rukumbi yo guteza amacakubiri n’imiborogo mu bana b’u Rwanda :  arigamba ko ngo « yasinyiye GUHANGANA »!

Guhangana na nde ? N’abenegihugu batemera ko ahombora igihugu cyabo barebera ! Ishyano riragwira, u Rwanda rurongeye rurarigushije !

(4)Biragaragarira buri wese ko “Inzira imwe isigaye” yo kugoboka u Rwanda ari uko abenegihugu b’intwari kandi bashyira mu gaciro, Abahutu n’Abatutsi, bagomba kwiyumvamo ko IGIHE KIGEZE ngo bashakane , bicarane, baganire, bisuganye(organisation), maze hamwe no gushushanya umushinga ubereye u Rwanda rwa twese, bafatanye :

Umuyobozi w’Ishyaka ISHEMA ry’u Rwanda.

The Shroud Over Rwanda’s Nightmare by Michael Dobbs

WASHINGTON — Twenty years ago this Saturday, the commander of United Nations peacekeeping forces in Rwanda wrote a coded cable to his superiors in New York that has come to be known as the “genocide fax.” Citing inside information from a “top-level trainer” for a pro-regime militia group, Brig. Gen. Roméo Dallaire warned of an “anti-Tutsi extermination” plot.

The refusal by United Nations officials to approve the general’s plan for raids on suspected arms caches has been widely condemned as paving the way for one of the worst genocides since the Holocaust. But evidence submitted to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, some of it still under seal, reveals a murkier, more complicated situation than has often been portrayed.

New details about the mysterious informant known to General Dallaire as “Jean-Pierre” serve as a reminder that history can take a long time to reveal its secrets. Important documents that could shed light on the unresolved mysteries and ambiguities of the Rwanda genocide remain under lock and key.

It is now commonly recognized that the international community failed miserably in its efforts to protect the people of Rwanda. But even 20 years later, there is still much to learn. While the new evidence does not absolve the United Nations and Western governments for failing to take timely action, Jean-Pierre’s story illustrates the challenges that continue to vex decision-makers struggling to make sense of unfolding crises in countries like the Central African Republic or South Sudan.10dobbs-articleInline

The immediate trigger for the Rwandan genocide was the shooting down of a plane carrying President Juvenal Habyarimana on April 6, 1994. Over the next hundred days, Hutu militia groups murdered at least half a million members of the Tutsi minority, along with tens of thousands of “moderate” Hutus. These massacres took place against the backdrop of a war that pitted the Hutu-dominated regime against Tutsi-led insurgents who had invaded Rwanda from neighboring Uganda.

Whether the genocide was planned, and was thus foreseeable, has been hotly debated by scholars, politicians and lawyers. The “genocide fax” has been a key part of this debate. Controversy has surrounded Jean-Pierre’s motives for cooperating with General Dallaire, the reliability of his information, and his fate after his request for protection was rejected by the United Nations.

We now know a lot more about Jean-Pierre Abubakar Turatsinze (his full name was established by the war crimes tribunal). Half-Hutu and half-Tutsi, he operated on both sides of Rwanda’s political and ethnic divide. While his prediction of mass murder of Tutsis by Hutu militia groups proved chillingly accurate, he misled United Nations peacekeepers on some key points.

Important details about his background and eventual fate are contained in a 2003 interview with his wife by tribunal investigators that has never been officially released but is now available. At the time of his marriage, in 1990, he worked as a driver for a senior Rwandan official. In the turmoil following the rebel invasion, Jean-Pierre used his connections to become an intermediary to the Interahamwe militia, whose principal goal was to defend the Hutu-dominated regime.

Curiously, the fact that he was married to a Tutsi and was the product of a mixed Tutsi-Hutu marriage does not seem to have affected his advancement in the Interahamwe, at least until the end of 1993. Around this time, he told his wife that he might have to kill her because the ruling party was planning to carry out “massacres.” As she told investigators, “because I am Tutsi and his mother was Tutsi, I understood this to mean that the massacres were going to be against the Tutsi population.”

Jean-Pierre told General Dallaire’s aides in January 1994 that he had been instructed to register “all Tutsis” living in Kigali, apparently for “their extermination.” He also said that the Rwandan Army had been supplying the Interahamwe with weapons, and identified several arms caches, including one in the headquarters of the ruling party. The Interahamwe went on to commit many of the murders during the genocide.

The Arusha-based international tribunal has found that the Rwandan Army channeled weapons to the Interahamwe and provided military training to militia members. But tribunal judges were not convinced that the purpose of that training was the “extermination” of Tutsis, as Jean-Pierre claimed, rather than preparation for renewed hostilities with the Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front. They found that the Interahamwe had drawn up lists of “suspected opponents of the regime,” but such lists were “not focused exclusively on ethnicity.”

Evidence submitted to the tribunal showed that Jean-Pierre may have had other motives for seeking United Nations protection. He had fallen out with party leaders who suspected him of selling arms to rebels in Burundi. Some witnesses believe he might have been an agent of the Rwandan Patriotic Front assigned to penetrate the Interahamwe.

While there is no reliable evidence to back the claim that he was an R.P.F. agent in January 1994, it is clear that he had connections to opposition parties allied with the Tutsi-led rebels. According to United Nations cables, a Hutu opposition leader named Faustin Twagiramungu served as Jean-Pierre’s conduit to General Dallaire. These connections caused French and Belgian analysts to suspect that Jean-Pierre might be spreading “disinformation.”

In his 2003 memoir, “Shake Hands With the Devil,” General Dallaire raised the possibility that his informant had “simply melted back into the Interahamwe, angry and disillusioned at our vacillation and ineffectiveness, and become a genocidaire.” Jean-Pierre told the general’s aides at their final meeting in February 1994 that he was planning to go to Zaire, for “commando training.”

Instead, he went to Tanzania where he joined the R.P.F., according to his wife. In late March, two weeks before the president’s assassination, he moved to a rebel-held enclave in northern Rwanda, where he was reported to be “in very good books with senior members of the R.P.F.” In late 1994, a minister in Rwanda’s new Tutsi-led government informed the family that Jean-Pierre had been “killed in battle.”

The circumstances of his death remain a mystery. As his wife told investigators, “I do not know how he died and where.” She was unable even to establish whether he was “surely dead.”

General Dallaire has told the tribunal that he operated on “instinct” in sending the genocide fax, which was followed up by a series of warnings to New York in early 1994 that were rebuffed or ignored. He sensed that the peacekeeping force had to reassert its authority. But his superiors in New York needed something more than their field commander’s instincts to justify aggressive action.

Newly released State Department records show that United Nations officials briefed the United States, Belgium and France on the emerging crisis, but there was zero enthusiasm in the Clinton administration following the “Black Hawk Down” debacle in Somalia in October 1993. Much stronger intelligence would have been necessary to disrupt the passivity of senior decision makers.

The “Jean-Pierre” revelations are a tantalizing indication of how much we still have to learn about the Rwandan genocide. Records that could shed light on whether it could have been prevented are still classified in Washington, New York, Paris, Brussels, Geneva, Arusha and Kigali — unavailable to the public despite pledges by international leaders to fully investigate the tragedy. In order to draw the correct lessons from history, we must first establish all the facts.

IYICWA RYA KAREGEYA, INDUNDURO YO GUCUMBAGIRIRA KU MAGURU YOMBI.

Mu Kinyarwanda iyo umuntu afite akaguru kamwe kadashinga ngo gafate, bavuga ko acumbagira cyangwa atera isekuru, bakamwita agacumba. Iyo bibaye ku maguru yombi, biba byarenze ibyo gucumbagira, uyu bamwita akarema cyangwa akajyo. Ni na ho haturuka wa mugani wa Kinyarwanda, uvangana amagambo ubuhanga, ngo “akamuga karuta akajyo”. Baba bafashe agacumba nk’inkono yamenetse ariko igifite uruhengekero (byombi mu Kinyarwanda byitwa akamuga cyangwa ikimuga), bakabigereranya n’akajyo (bivuga uwaremaye amaguru yombi, ariko bikanakoreshwa mu kuvuga akamanyu ko ku nkono yajanjaguritse burundu). Mu Kinyarwanda rero cya gihanga, bemezaga ko nta we ucumbagirira ku maguru yombi. Ashobora gusa gucumbagirira kuri kamwe, bivuze ko akandi kaba kagishinga. Iyo rero umuntu acumbagirira ku maguru yombi, bifatwa mu nzira ebyiri, zombi ziganisha ku kuyobya uburari. Mu nzira ya mbere, ashobora kuba ari agacumba kajijisha. Akaguru kazima aba yakaremaje ku bwende, mu nyungu zitazwi, nko mu guhunga inshingano (responsabilité). Mu rundi ruhande, ashobora kuba ari akajyo kagerageza gucumbagiza amaguru yombi mu by’ukuri adashinga, ngo bagire ngo hari icyo agishoboye (ngo bakeke ko atari akajyo ari akarema gusa). Mu kinyarwanda gucumbagirira ku maguru yombi bivuga kuyobya uburari, ugahisha ubushobozi ufite, cyangwa se ukiyerekana nk’ufite icyo ushoboye kandi mu by’ukuri uri akajyo. Bivugwa iyo umuntu ageze imbere y’ikibazo kigomba umuti kandi kidashobora gutegereza no kwirengagizwa, nyamara akananirwa gufata umwanzuro uhamye.

Aho ibintu bigeze muri politiki y’u Rwanda, hatangiye igihe cyo kureka gucumbagirira ku maguru yombi, mu nzego nyinshi. Reka tubirebere hamwe.

 1. Byose bijya gutangira, habanje kwica no kwivuga.

Kuva kera, abanyarwanda bamye baha “ijambo” agaciro gakomeye. Ibi tubisanga no mu yindi mico ku isi. Si ku busa abakirisitu bise Yezu “Jambo” w’Imana. Abagereki na bo ni uko, izingiro ry’ibintu baryise “ijambo” (logos). Wakomeza n’ahandi. Mu kinyarwanda cyacu, ijambo ni ryo risozera rikanasenengera ibikorwa. Muri make, nta gikorwa kidaherekejwe n’ijambo: Ntawe uroga acecetse (ngo ntihica uburozi hica umutukiro); ntawe uvura nta jambo (ngo havura umutongero)…nta wica nta jambo (uwishe arivuga). Ni yo mpamvu umunyarwanda wese w’ingabo yagiraga icyivugo. Nka Nyarwaya Karuretwa yivugaga ati: Ndi imanzi ya Burunga, umugabo wishe abapfumu ba Gogo, umugaragu ahuruje ingoma ingwe iramumira…umugabo uvoma urugina mu magara y’undi mugabo”. Gusa rero, abanyarwanda ibi ntibabiterwaga n’ubugome bwabaritse (sadisme). Ahubwo bubahaga ubuzima, bityo bakumva ko no kwica umwanzi ari amaburakindi. Kwivuga byari ukuyobya uburari ngo amaraso y’umwanzi atabasama. Ni yo mpamvu nta wivugaga mu izina rye bwite, ngo agire ati ndakwishe njyewe Kalinijabo, cyangwa Rwubusisi. Kwivuga byari nko kuyobya umuzimu w’uwishwe, ukivuga mu izina ritari iryawe bwite, ngo umuzimu natera ayoberwe uwo afata. Nk’uwitwa Rukara aho kwivuga mu izina rye bwite yashoboraga kwivuga ati: “Muyumbu utarushya isiga”, bityo izina rye bwite akaba ararikikiye mu mayeri. Umuzimu ntiyashoboraga kurabukwa.

2. FPR mu mucuri wa “ndumunyarwanda”.

Muri iyi minsi igikomeje gutungura abantu, si uko Karegeya yishwe (na we yari azi ko rumugera amajanja kuko FPR yarimo yari azi uko ikora). Igitangaje kurusha ibindi ni ibyivugo FPR yakurikije urupfu rwe. Uwabimburiye abandi ni Olivier Nduhungirehe, uyu wihesheje agaciro agahembwa kujya muri Loni ku izina ry’u Rwanda. Kuri Twetter yifatiye ku gahanga uwashinje Kagame urupfu rwa Karegeya, abikora mu cyivugo kivanzemo ubuswa n’ubuhake bucanira intozo (mu kinyarwanda umugaragu utiyizeye yarangwaga no guhuzagurika bikabyara gukabya mu buhake, agacanira inka, agakabya agacanira n’imbwa za shebuja kandi ubundi kizira).Nduhungirehe rero yarihanukiriye ati Ese ko wita Kagame umwicanyi, uwo Kayumba wamamaza ni we mwicanyi gahoro (ubwo aba arikocoreyemo, ko na we azi ko Kagame ari umwicanyi, gusa icyo ahakana kikaba ukuba yaza imbere ya Kayumba muri uwo mwuga)! Murabona ko birenze kuba ubuhake. Aho bukera burabyara ubucanirambwa!

Nduhungirehe muvandimwe, ndabona aho bukera ruri bukubone. Abakubanjirije mu buhake bw’ubucanirambwa reka nkubwire uko barangije. Afandi Rutaremara Jules mu guhakwa yarihanukiriye ngo Rudasingwa yamye ari umusazi. Twerekanye ko uwo bisebeje ari FPR ubwayo ku kuba uwayiyoboye mu ikubitiro ari umusazi…Rutaremara ntiyamaze kabiri adakubuwe. Mukuru we Rutaremara Tito ati Ncuti Manasse nta gitangaje ko yatunga miliyari 160 kuko yabaye minisitiri imyaka 8. Tumweretse ko n’aho yaba minisitiri imyaka 800 atayabona atayibye, yahunze ku buvunyi ubu yihishe muri Sena. Yewe ubuhake buravuna, ariko ubucanirambwa bwo ni akumiro. Twikomereze.

Ibya Nduhungirehe twabanje kubikekamo intore yahushije umudiho, ariko bwakeye wabaye rusange. Intore yo ku ruhembe Damiyani Habumuremyi ati : “Kugambanira igihugu cyakugize uwo uwo uri we bigira ingaruka umuntu agomba kwirengera”.Birakomeza biratutumba bigera no mu bagore! Abanyarwanda burya bari inararibonye. Banze ko umugore ajya ku rugamba, ngo atazivuga ko yishe kandi baramufataga nk’igicumbi, igicaniro cy’ubuzima. Gusa iyo urugamba rugeze iwa Ndabaga, ruharirwa abagore. Mushikiwabo ati natanzwe. Yivuga kubahiga bose. Atiiyo umuntu ahagurutse akemeza ko agiye kurwanya ubutegetsi akoresheje uburyo bushoboka bwose…, leta na yo igomba kumurwanya ni ko bimeze”. Umunyamakuru wa Contact FM baganiraga ati ni ukuvuga ko kwica Karegeya byari muri Gahunda za Leta? Dore igisubizo kidaca iruhande cya Mushikiwabo: Byaba kuri gahunda bitaba kuri gahunda, icyo mvuga ubundi se nka Leta njyewe undwanyije nabuzwa n’iki kukurwanya ?”. Kuri Twetter umwana wa Karegeya aramubaza ati Guverinoma yanyu rero ishyize imbere ko uyirwanya gomba kunigwa kugeza yishwe?”. Mushikiwabo atiibiba ku banzi bacu ntibitubuza gusinzira”. Ababisesengura nabonye bemeza ko atagira impuhwe za kibyeyi kuko atabyaye. Biranashoboka ahubwo ko kutagira impuhwe ari byo bizatuma ahambanwa ikara. Wasanga kutagira impuhwe za kibyeyi ari byo byamubujije gusiga ishibu.

Abiru ba ndi umunyarwanda bagomba kuba bakungurira FPR. Barajombora umuco ariko bakabikora intambike. N’abagore bageze aho kuvuga amacumu yacuze inkumbi!Simbabujije kwivuga, ariko ni ubwa mbere twumva uwivuga amaraso y’umuvandimwe kandi akivuga mu izina rye. Abanyarwanda baraziririzaga, n’amaraso y’umwanzi w’umuvamahanga bayivugaga barenza ijambo. Ubwo rero n’abagore bageze aho kuvuga amacumu, kandi bakavuga icumu ryikoze mu nda, mukenyere ibintu byageze iwa Ndabaga. Hari byinshi bigiye gusobanuka.

3. Gucumbagirira ku maguru abiri mu butabera birarangiye.

Imyaka ibaye mbare na mbariro hasabwa ko ubutabera mpuzamahanga bwakora umurimo wabwo. Igihe cyabwo cyo gucumbagirira ku maguru abiri kirarangiye. Ubwo FPR yahushaga Kayumba, abantu bagize ngo biracogoye. Biragaragara ko ahubwo yagiye kunoza uburyo mu kuba rudahusha. Mu gihe abahoze bakorana na yo badahwema kuvuga ko bafite ubuhamya shingiro ku bikorwa byayo, uyu ni umwanya wo kwerekeza mu ngeri (mu mazi magari). Bitabaye ibyo, barashira urusorongo tureba, amabanga bayajyane ikuzimu dore ko ari cyo Kagame yambariye. Gucumbagirira ku maguru abiri nibirangire mu butabera. Nibitaba, turamenya ko bwahindutse “hushi guruka kanyoni kanjye”. Ni ukuvuga kubeshya abantu ko uzinduwe no kwirukana ibyonnyi kandi ugenzwa no kubishingira umuhati. Seti Sendashonga yatwaye amabanga atari make; Lizinde biba uko; Ruzibiza ataho; hiyongereyeho na Karegeya. Ni nde utahiwe? Turabizi ko ubutabera mpuzamahanga bwamye bucumbagira, gusa igihe kirageze ngo bureke gucumbagirira ku maguru abiri. Niba hari akaguru gashinga, nibutere intambwe tubimenye. Niba kandi yombi yararemaye, tureke kwizera akajyo, dushake andi majyo.

 4. Gucumbagirira ku maguru abiri birarangiye mu Ihuriro- RNC.

Ku bahoze bakorana na Kagame abenshi bahuriye muri RNC, na bo ihurizo riratangiye. Inzira ni nyinshi. Hari ugutegereza Kagame akajya ashotora uwo yagennye guturaho igitambo mu gihe abishakiye, cyangwa se bagatera intambwe nshya mu kumurwanya. Umugambi wa Kagame utekerejwe bicukumbuye. Kagame aragira ati “ abandwanya bari bateze byinshi kuri aba bantu kuko twakoranye bakaba bazi “système”, ndetse hakaba n’abemeza ko aribo bayihanze n’ubu bakaba bayifitemo ibyitso n’amaboko”. Ngicyo icyo yashatse kuvuguruza mu iyicwa rya Karegeya: gukoresha inzego Karegeya yasize yubatse ndetse hagakoreshwa n’umuntu bemeza ko ari Karegeya ubwe wamwinjije muri “système”, ni uburyo bwo gutanga akabarore ko abahoze bakorana na we “système” yabasize. Ni ho aba aganisha iyo abita“Ibigarasha”, ni ukuvuga ibintu bitagifite agaciro. Ubu rero hageze igihe cyo gufata umwanzuro no gutera indi ntambwe. Igihe cyo gucumbagirira ku maguru yombi kirarangiye. Niba hari akaguru gashinga, haraterwa intambwe. Bitabaye ibyo, inkuru iraharirwa urujyo. Mu mezi abiri gusa ari imbere niba ntacyo RNC igaragaje , “mythe” yubakiragaho kugeza ubu izaba yahindutse impitagihe, kuko bizaba bigaragaye ko koko Kagame yayikubise mu cyico.

                

Umwanzuro: FPR na Afurika y’Epfo mu ihurizo rigikomeza.

N’ubwo FPR yivuga amacumu, hari byinshi itazi kuko bitayiturukaho. Yapanze kurasa Kayumba mu myiteguro y’igikombe cy’isi, igisebo kuri Afurika y’Epfo itifuza ko isura yayo mu mahanga yakwangirika. Nyuma y’aho abareba hafi bagize ngo birarangiye. Kwari ukwibeshya. Murabaze Kagame n’ingabo ze (RDF/M23) urufaya rwabirukanye ejo bundi muri Kongo niba rutaravugaga Ikizulu (Zoulou)! Ihurizo rero ntaho riragera. Ubu Kagame arivuga ko ashinga agahamya, agahanantura abo yita abanzi. Amaherezo ariko, azasitara ku ucumbagirana amayeri. Maze agahuru gahure n’umunyutsi. Na we arabizi. Hagati aha yatangiye umwaka ateguza intore ze ko bazahura n’ibikomeye. Tubitege amaso.

Central African Republic interim President Michel Djotodia resigns

_72208956_72208955

 Central African Republic’s interim President Michel Djotodia has resigned at a regional summit aimed at ending violence that has engulfed the country.

PM Nicolas Tiengaye also resigned at the meeting in Chad.

Thousands of people took to the streets in CAR’s capital, Bangui, most of them celebrating the news.

Mr Djotodia, CAR’s first Muslim leader, seized power last year. Since then 20% of the population have fled fighting between Christian and Muslim militias.

The UN has warned of an impending humanitarian disaster.

Since December and the arrival of more regional peacekeepers and French troops, 1,000 people have died in sectarian clashes.

Many villages are deserted and in the past month the number of those who have fled their homes has doubled – including almost half of those living in the capital, Bangui.

Following the announcement from Chad, there were jubilant scenes in Bangui.

Carine Gbegbe, who has been living in a displacement camp, told Associated Press: “Finally we are free. We are going to return home at last.”

French tanks were quickly deployed around the presidential palace.

French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian called for a replacement for Mr Djotodia “as soon as possible”.

Flown in

Mr Djotodia’s resignation was made in a statement by the 10-nation Economic Community of Central African States (Eccas).

The whole of CAR’s National Transitional Council (CNT) had been flown in at short notice to decide the leadership of their nation.

The lawmakers met regional leaders while Mr Djotodia held separate talks with allies from his former Seleka rebel alliance, AFP reported.

Under a deal brokered by regional powers last year, the CNT was charged with choosing a transitional leader to take CAR to elections due at the end of 2014. It formally elected Mr Djotodia to his position as interim president last April.

Seleka seized power last March overthrowing the then-President Francois Bozize, from CAR’s majority Christian population.

Although Mr Djotodia officially disbanded the Seleka rebels, he has proved unable to keep them in check.

Their actions have prompted Christians to form vigilante groups, sparking a deadly cycle of revenge attacks.

The African Union now has some 4,000 peacekeepers in the country and France has deployed 1,600 troops to try to restore peace.

DRCongo: Goma rejoices as Kagame is said dead!

Paul_Kagame_New_York_2010

President Kagame is accused of having destabilized Congo through proxy wars he created, but no one expected that a rumor if his death could cause such a joy!

On this Friday January 10 , 2014, streets of Goma were full of Congolese marching, dancing and singing  hymns of joy as a rumor said that President of Rwanda Paul Kagame was dead. They carried a coffin and palm branches to mean that peace will now prevail since Kagame is dead.

In their songs and chants, demonstrators repeated that Kagame is dead and gone, and that now Congo and the region will have peace. Kigali has denounced the death of President Kagame saying that the man is healthy and is on his duties.

This has sparked so much fear among Rwandans especially those who are superstitious. One old man told me on phone that “such things don’t go without effect, if Kagame is not going to die, something bad is going to happen in Rwanda”.

This happens two weeks after Kagame told his army that this year will not be easy!
