Akana Alice mu buzima bushaririye no gukama ikimasa!

Tumaze iminsi tubona umukobwa wa Nsekalije Aloys witwa Akana Alice yitakuma ku mbuga nkoranyambaga nka facebook avuga ibigwi FPR na Kagame. Yigira Inkotanyi kurusha iz’amarere z’ikubitiro. Agira ibitutsi n’ugushyanuka birenze urugero. Ariko bigatuma abantu bibaza impamvu atajya i Kigali cyane ko avuga ko igihugu kiyobowe neza! Twashatse abamuzi batubwira iby’ubuzima bwe. Buteye agahinda! Inkuru irambuye turayigezwaho n’umukunzi wacu.

Akana alice ni muntu ki?

Alice AKANA yavukiye i Kigali tariki ya 18 Mata 1972 avuka ari umwana wa 6 mu bana 8 b’umugore mukuru wa Colonel NSEKALIJE Aloys.
Amashuri abanza yayigiye i Kigali ayisumbuye ayakomereza ku Nyundo. Jenoside yo mu 1994 yabaye Akana atararangiza amashuri yisumbuye, aza kuyarangiriza ku kindi kigo. Nyuma yaje guhungira i Nairobi muri Kenya asanga yo  bamwe mu bo bavukanye bari baranze gusanga ababyeyi babo mu Rwanda. Muri iki gihe mu bo bavukana, abakobwa babiri batuye mu Bubiligi, umwe atuye muri Canada (Quebec), umwe atuye mu Buholandi, umwe mu Busuwisi. Musaza we witwa Fidèle Mitsindo atuye mu Rwanda akaba avugwaho kwica no kwicisha abantu benshi mu yahoze ari amakomini ya Karago na Giciye. Undi mwana wabo w’umuhugu yitabye Imana.

fb_img_1501325551678Akana Alice na musaza we , Mitsindo Fidèle bamamaza Kagame mu 2017.

Akana Alice afite abana 3 yabyaranye n’abagabo 3 batandukanye. Inda y’umuhungu we mukuru yayitwariye i Nairobi muri Kenya, ariko umwana yavukiye mu Butaliyani. Akana alice yageze mu Butaliyani ahunze ariko yibwira ko asanze se w’umwana, kuko we yari yarahageze mbere. Uwo musore, se w’umwana mukuru wa Akana akaba mwene wabo wa Perezida Habyarimana. Akana akihagera, umusore yamuteye utwatsi, kandi ni mu gihe kuko i Nairobi Akana yari azwiho kuryamana n’abagabo benshi batandukanye mu gihe kimwe. Ngo yagiraga ubuntu butangaje cyane!

Ibyo bibaye, Akana yahise ayabangira ingata ahungira mu bu Bubiligi aho yakiriwe n’inshuti za Nsekalije zirimo Bwana Ndagijimana Emmanuel bita Idi Amini, Karake, n’abandi benewabo bakomoka ahitwaga mu Bushiru, ariko cyane cyane bene wabo wa Perezida Habyarimana. Icyamuranze cyane ni ubumenyi buke mu kwita no kurera ako kana ke k’agahungu kari kakiri gato. Imyaka ya mbere, Akana yabanye cyane n’imiryango y’abahoze ku butegetsi mbere ya 1994 ariko ashishikajwe cyane no kuba yababonamo  umugabo. Aha twavuga cyane cyane abana ba Habyarimana, Kabuga, Nsanzimana Sylvestre, n’abandi. Kuba na bo barakomeje kumutera utwatsi biri mu byatumye buhoro buhoro agenda arushaho kwiheba, dore ko uko yagendaga asaza ari na ko yarushagaho kugira uburanga budakurura abasore.

Mu kurwanya uko kwiheba, Akana yatangiye gushakishiriza mu madini y’inzaduka y’abarokore  ndetse agera no mu madini akorana bya hafi na FPR, aza kwisanga atagiterwa isoni no kwiyita Inkotanyi! N’ubu aracyakomeje kwiyita ko asenga Yesu ariko byose bikajyana n’ibitutsi n’amagambo y’urukozasoni yirirwa yandika ku mbuga nkoranyambaga. Uburere yigeze kugira FPR yabumukamuyemo, imugira intore ariko y’intoraguramayugi!

Yigeze gukora amasezerano yo kubana akaramata (mariage) n’umugabo w’umuzungu babana ahitwa Ottignies mu Bubiligi ariko ntibatinze gutandukana kubera ya ngeso yo gushurashura y’i Nairobi.  Umwana babyaranye, ubucamanza bwaramumwambuye bumuha se kubera imyitwarire mibi ya nyina.

Akana afite umwana muto w’umukobwa yirirwa yirukankana hirya no hino ku buryo na we ashobora kumwamburwa. Haracyashakishwa uwamwakira cyane ko ise umubyara yanze kumwemera kandi n’abandi bakobwa ba Nsekalije badashobora kumufata kubera  impamvu zabo bwite.

Imibereho ikarishye

Akana Alice yageze mu Burayi afite imyaka 25 ariko kuva icyo gihe ntiyigeze agira ka formation na kamwe akora, bityo nta kazi na kamwe yigeze agira kugeza magingo aya. Bimwe mu byamuranze akigera mu Bubiligi ni ukuntu yavugaga hirya no hino ko Nsekalije yaraguriwe kuzaba Président w’u Rwanda! Izo ndagu zatumye azenguruka abapfumu (marabout) bose n’aba voyants b’i Buruseli ! Bose kandi ngo bamubwiraga ko izo ndagu ari zo, na we si ugutyaza amenyo no kurya umunyu karahava!

Kubera gushaka kubaho bidahuye n’ubushobozi bwe, byagiye bituma akenshi yirukanwa mu nzu yari acumbikiwemo za HLM (habitation à loyer modéré)  maze akajyanwa mu mazu azwi nka “maisons d’accueil” ashoreranye n’utwo twana twe.

Umuhungu we mukuru byamuviriyemo guhagarika amashuri yisumbuye kugeza  n’ubu akaba akomeje guhangayikisha abigeze kumumenya cyane cyane ko atakibana na nyina. Uyu ni we Akana yatangarije ku ma radio  na televiziyo i Kigali ko ngo yifuza kujya kwibera mu Rwanda! Imibereho yo mu Bubiligi ntiyamuhiriye kubera guhora yirukanwa mu mazu azira kutishyura ubukode, ndetse serivisi zitaga ubufasha zagiye zimufungira  imfashanyo kubera amanyanga yakoze menshi atandukanye! Akana abonye ashobewe yize amayeri mashya yo gusabiriza amafaranga akagenda yitwaje abana, inzara cyangwa amashuri.

Kujya mu Rwanda

Akana amaze gushoberwa yigiriye inama yo kujya gushakishiriza i Kigali. Yibwiraga ko niyamamaza Kagame azamufasha kugaruza imwe mu mitungo Nsekalije yasigiye abana b’umugore we mukuru, ndetse byanashoboka agahabwa n’imutungo yasigiwe umugore muto. Umugore mukuru we yari yaritabye Imana. Ibi Akana kandi yashakaga kubikora aciye inyuma abandi bavukana baba hanze.

Gusa rero ngo “aho umutindi yanitse ntiriva”. Imibare ye yaje kumupfana kubera  kwerekwa igihandure na muramukazi we ( Umugore wa Mitsindo). Uyu mugore ni we ucunga ibintu kubera ko Mitsindo afite uburwayi bwo mu mutwe budasobanutse ( ab’iwabo bavuga ko ari abazimu b’abantu yishe bamutera). Ikindi, ni uko umugore wa Nsekalije muto afite abamushyigikiye benshi mu cyama ku buryo gushyigikira Kagame muri campagne ntacyo byashoboraga guhindura. Hakiyongeraho ko akundwa cyane na bene wabo wa Nsekalije baba mu Murenge wa Rambura ngo kuko ari umugore urangwa no gushyira mu gaciro no gushishoza.

Rwanda/COVID-19 : Bad governance kills more than the pandemic !

Other countries have devised strategies to fight COVID-19. These include:

1. A Task Force to manage the response
2. A framework to coordinate funds /aids received  as well as voluntary contributions from local and or non-local benefactors.
3. A reporting system to ensure transparency of the process.

Here is what  Rwanda did:
1. No Task Force knwon. In fact, nobody knows who is in charge.
2. No independent body to manage funds and aids. The Government takes all monies, and nobody knows how much is received,  how it is managed, where the monies are sent , and who to be held accountable.
3. Since there is nobody  in charge, no reporting is made on regular basis, even the communiqués from Ministry of health are not signed, thus the people do not know who to hold accountable.

This is how far Rwanda is down. Where have all intellectuals, economists, scientists, doctors gone? Since when mediocrity is preferred over logic, common sense and knowledge?

Who knows whether these monies are not sent to fiscal paradises abroad?
The country cannot move forward in this state.

One last but not least point: do you know that Rwandans would chose COVID-19 over bad gouvernance? Why?
Because, with good governance, the preparedness is possible, well informed decisions are available, and efficient response is possible. Because of bad governance, the number of famine victims beats the number of the pandemic victims.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am ashamed to introduce to you the Banana Republic of Kagame .

Admin

A sa sortie, Kagame est encore peu prometteur!

Ça faisait longtemps que Paul Kagame ne s’adressait pas aux Rwandais, et quand il fait ce 27 avril 2020, il s’exprime en anglais. Moins de 20% de Rwandais comprennent cette langue. Quant au contenu, le président rwandais ne livre rien. Absolument rien. La seule chose qu’il aura réussie, c’est de semer plus de doutes sur sa localisation sa conférence étant faite à distance.

Avant cette sortie, beaucoup de rumeurs circulaient. L’absence du président inquiétait les Rwandais, les uns allant jusqu’à poser qu’il est mort. C’est peut-être cette prétendue mort qui l’a poussé à sortir subitement, et visiblement, mal préparé. Dans ces réponses , aux journalistes bien sélectionnés comme si le message était destiné à une audience précise,  Kagame ne maîtrise rien. Ceci soulève plus de questionnements: Est-il vraiment vivant? Comment se peut-il qu’après plus d’un mois, un chef d’Etat ne s’adresse pas à son peuple pour exprimer une solidarité?

De la crise causée par la pandémie, Kagame ne livre rien. Pas de statistique. Pas de stratégie, pourtant demandée par plusieurs Rwandais. Le président ne dit rien sur la gestion des fonds déjà reçus dans l’effort de lutter contre Covid-19. Il ne pense pas aux citoyens du menu peuple dont le bien-être est mis à mal par les mesures de confinement décrétées sans suivre la procédure légale pourtant prévue par la Constitution rwandaise. Tout ce qu’il révèle est qu’un conseil des ministres va se tenir cette semaine pour déterminer la voie à suivre dans les prochains jours.

Une journaliste de RFI lui pose la question sur l’assassinat du chantre rwandais Kizito Mihigo mort en février 2020. Kagame, manifestement mal à l’aise avec cette question, réplique qu’il ne sera jamais capable de convaincre qui que ce soit sur la thèse du suicide. Lui-même sait que ce mensonge ne tient pas la route. Et, il demande à la journaliste: “Can we put it to rest, please?” Il évite d’en parler.

Rappelons que depuis l’assassinat de ce jeune homme, Kagame a du mal à justifier son innocence dans ce dossier. Dans ses notes, Kizito explique le rôle important de la directrice de cabinet de Kagame à l’époque, Inès MPAMBARA, dans son calvaire. La femme est même  allée jusqu’à menacer de mort le jeune artiste.

Une question intéressante sur l’incursion de l’armée rwandaise au Congo, une information qui circule depuis quelques semaines. Sauf que le chef de l’Etat nie toutes les allégations en bloc, tentant de façon maladroitement voilée, de justifier cette action militaire s’elle avait eu lieu. Pour tout observateur avisé, sa réponse constitue un aveu sans équivoque. Sauf un enfant né d’hier, l’on sait que les soldats rwandais ont toujours été au Congo, et que Kagame l’a toujours nié.

Le silence de Kagame au sujet de la misère du peuple rwandais, sa disparition des radars pendant longtemps, les actes de barbarie commis par son armée contre les citoyens, l’arrestation des journalistes au nom du Covid-19 mais, qui réellement, on le sait, vise à museler les lanceurs d’alerte, tout porte à croire que Kagame n’est pas l’homme de la situation, maintenant, encore moins pour la période après Covid-19.

The genocide plan against Rwandans currently disguised as COVID-19 confinement

The genocide plan against Rwandans currently disguised as COVID-19 confinement

1. The 1994 genocide as a precedent
During the period of April-June 1994, Hutus and Tutsis were killed for who they were in either controlled zones by the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) led by Paul Kagame or the then Rwandan government headed by Jean Kambanda.
2. The enabler of the 1994 genocide
The then US president Bill Clinton refused to call genocide what was happening in Rwanda at that time, because of his administration’s strategy for non-intervention to enable RPF to gain power. This US attitude was part of a regional political game plan, which considered RPF as the main player to have more influence at the expense of France and Belgium.
3. A never-ending genocide
After RPF took over from the Hutu government, it put in place internal and external policies aimed at reducing the number of Hutus, among these were:

1. Targeting and killing Hutu political leaders and intellectuals inside and outside Rwanda, with an objective of retaining the political supremacy of RPF as long as possible; while this was happening, Hutu refugees were attacked, killed and persistently disturbed in their precarious lives everywhere.
2. Denying their survivors access to any sort of assistance that would help them to recover from suffered traumas.
3. Devising economic, agricultural, employment, health and educational policies aimed at making Hutus poorer, die silently or feel as second class citizens.

4. How Rwanda’s neighbouring countries are dealing with COVID-19 Burundi, DRC, Uganda and Tanzania, the neighbouring countries of Rwanda, haven’t instructed their citizens to strictly stay at home as a way of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. After objective analysis of the conditions within which their people live, they consequently found that confining them without giving them food would’ve been like ordering them to die.

5. The suffering of Rwandan people under confinement
Since the Prime Minister’s public announcement of the confinement on March 21st, we have noticed that there is no provision of food to the population from the government. The journalists who went out to learn from the people how they were coping with the confinement and highlighted the dire conditions under which they were living, were arrested. Presently, the general public doesn’t know what is happening indoors across Rwanda, because no independent journalist is allowed to report about that situation.

6. The coverup of an ongoing genocide
The same way the RPF government has covered up deliberate killings of Rwandans over the past 26 years, it is feared that under the current COVID-19 pandemic, everything seems to point to a well-engineered strategy of drastically reducing the number of Rwandans. If the confinement is not immediately reversed, with the lack of any provision of food to the confined people, between 3 to 4 millions of Rwandans can die by the end of May. These deaths would only be discovered years later because of the RPF mastery of covering up its crimes.

Le chanteur Kizito MIHIGO : Missions accomplies.

La date du 17 février 2020 sera à jamais gravée dans la mémoire de l’humanité toute entière, en particulier dans la mémoire des Rwandais. Je note bien « L’humanité toute entière », oui, parce que Kizito Mihigo aura été probablement le plus grand Humaniste de l’époque contemporaine, dévoué et sacrifié pour la cause humaine.

Kizito Mihigo dont le monde a salué l’audace, l’abnégation et le sacrifice ultime de soi, a bien accompli sa mission. Il a certainement rejoint Celui qui l’avait choisi pour semer la graine de la vie contre celle de la mort, Celui qui  lui avait envoyé cette Colombe de la paix, du pardon et de la réconciliation, en tant que messager dans un pays déchiré par la haine.

« La colombe, symbole de l’amour et de la paix parmi les hommes ; la colombe, symbole de la demande et de l’offre du pardon ; la colombe, symbole de la réconciliation, symbole de l’apaisement et de la justice, symbole de la sagesse et du discernement; c’est cette colombe dont nous avons besoin» (sa chanson : « Inuma » traduit «la Colombe ») 

Un devoir d’extirper les racines du mensonge qui détruisait les générations depuis plusieurs années,un devoir de lever  le voile qui cachait la face de la vérité rwandaise,  telle était la mission éminemment sensible et risquée! Pour une aussi lourde et périlleuse responsabilité, il aura bien fallu un Monsieur hors du commun, un Homme de foi guidé probablement par la force du Tout Puissant. Ce pari réussi au prix de son sang aura, sans nul conteste, des fruits délicieux à déguster . Il l’a dit et répété car c’était déjà son expérience de vie :       « C’est nous qui témoignerons de l’unité parce que nous avons subi la haine de l’intolérance.   Nous serons les fruits adulés, cueillis sur un arbre sorti de la misère »

                                   Kizito Mihigo, et maintaint ?

Le lundi 17 février  et les jours qui ont suivi, auront été d’une grande tristesse, très amers. On a du mal par moment à admette sa mort, son départ. Or, il n’est plus là, du moins physiquement! En revanche, il a tout fait pour nous. Il a tracé tout le chemin, il a abordé l’inabordable malgré toutes sortes d’intimidation qui pesaient sur lui. Il  a contredit les menteurs qui se sont payés de sa vie. Il  leur a appris que la vérité, la justice, le pardon et la vraie réconciliation seraient les seules sources de vie dans une communauté meurtrie par l’auto-destruction.

Les Rwandais et d’autres communautés ont été sensiblement touchés par cette mort. De cette dernière en revanche, on veut ardemment en sortir la vie, celle qui traversera des siècles. La vie qui va souder le Rwanda, ses fils et ses filles, toutes ethnies et toutes régions. C’est le rêve de Kizito Mihigo qui se réalisera absolument, il n’est plus que question de temps. Qui pourra refuser cette chance, ce beau cadeau qu’il nous a offert et qu’il a offert aussi, et oui,  à ses détracteurs et à ses persécuteurs ? On le connaît notre ami Kizito, il aime tout le monde et il pardonne.

Beaucoup d’initiatives désormais en cours dans les quatre coins du monde sont à mon avis très salutaires (Kmp, Kms, funclubs, divers groupes.). Elles ne devraient, cependant, se focaliser qu’à un seul but, celui de concrétiser l’héritage Kizito: « la vérité, la justice,  le pardon, l’unité et la réconciliation  entre tous les Rwandais, sans aucune forme d’exclusion». Se disperser à tout-va, se servir de son nom pour des intérêts égoïstes, politiques ou économiques, ne serait que polluer et spolier son héritage. Ce serait d’énorme gâchis dont profiteraient ses détracteurs et tous les malveillants.

Bref, l’avenir du Rwanda est désormais connu et tracé. Kizito Mihigo a posé ses bases qu’il a arrosées avec son propre sang. On ne pourra plus revenir en arrière. Tous les Rwandais: homes, femmes, hutu, tutsi,  twa, dirigeants et dirigés, il est temps de réexaminer notre passé douloureux avec équité, justice et pardon. Nous ne devons plus admettre que le sang des Rwandais continue  à  être abusivement versé. Nous sommes des humains, point!

Les médias internationaux en l’occurrence,  seraient conviées à la même marche, pour se décaler des idées manipulées, manichéennes, et enfin aider véritablement les Rwandais à construire l’avenir. Un avenir qui ne tue plus, un avenir qui ne discrimine plus,  un avenir juste.

Pour terminer, on ne peut souhaiter que Kizoto Mihigo soit reconnu à juste titre,  pour toute son œuvre. Les instances et institutions habilitées, tant laïques que religieuses, nationales et internationales pourront jouer leur rôle dans ce processus de gratification du Grand Homme de tous les temps. Bien sûr, la meilleure gratification pour Kizito sera toujours le partage et la pérennisation de ses valeurs!

Rwanda : Vague d’arrestations et d’abus liés au confinement

Il faut mettre fin à la répression des médias et aux arrestations arbitraires massives

La police rwandaise a arrêté arbitrairement des dizaines de personnes depuis que les directives pour empêcher la propagation du Covid-19 sont entrées en vigueur le 22 mars 2020. Les autorités ont accusé des personnes d’avoir enfreint les mesures, les détenant parfois dans des stades sans procédure régulière ni autorité légale.

Kagame and his RPF were not interested in saving Tutsi lives.

Statement by the RPF on the proposed deployment of a U.N. intervention force in Rwanda on 30th April 1994.

Original UN archive is available here.

The United Nations Security Council has been urged by the U.N. Secretary General to authorize the deployment of a U.N. intervention force in Rwanda for the purpose of stopping massacres of innocent civilians.

The massacres have been going on for several years but particularly become intense after the death of President Habyarimana on April 6, 1994.

The Rwandese Patriotic Front wishes to make the following observations regarding the massacres:

1. The massacres ware carefully planned in advance and systematically executed to ensure the complete extermination of those perceived as opponents of the regime. The plans for these massacres were hatched during President Habyarimana’s own life time with his knowledge and active participation.

2. RPF has very firm evidence indicating that the massacres were but for the death of the President originally intended to take place during the transition period after the Rwandese Patriotic Army forces had handed over their weapons to the United Nations and gone to the assembly points where they would be easy prey.

3. The occurrence of these massacres did not come as a surprise to RPF. Indeed, the RPF consistently brought the alarming preparations for these massacres to the attention of the international community for many months prior to their outbreak. The Secretary General of U.N. and the governments of all the countries which were represented at Arusha during the peace talks were duly informed about the preparations for these massacres through their accredited representatives in Kigali and various high ranking officials who have visited RPF both at Kigali and Mulindi ever since the signing of the peace agreement to discuss the possibilities of facilitating implementation of the peace agreement.

The international community was fore warned but did not find it possible or necessary to take any measures to prevent these massacres.

4. There is a misleading impression that the atrocities which have been committed were committed in course of armed conflict between two fighting groups. There are two groups alright but only one is armed and is committing the atrocities. The group of the victims is unarmed and defenseless. This is simply a case of state inspired violence against innocent citizens on account of their perceived political beliefs or ethnic origins.

The massacres are above all not a result of fighting between two different ethnic groups as the statement of the U.N. Secretary General would appear to indicate.

5. Although the Tutsi community has been singled out as a candidate for extermination, Rwandese of other ethnicities have equally been victims of the atrocities. Tens of thousands of Hutus have died because they belonged to opposition parties. Indeed, the majority of prominent public personalities who were executed were Hutus. The false perception that this is an ethnic conflict needs to be corrected.

6. These massacres are not new in Rwanda’s history. They are a repeat of similar massacres which were committed by the very same security apparatus headed by President Habyarimana between 1959 and 1966, between 1972 and 1973 and between 1990 and 1994.

7. The atrocities in Rwanda have been committed exclusively by the regime. The Rwandese Patriotic Front has not, contrary to what some have implied from the contents of the letter of the U.N. Secretary General addressed to the U.N. Security Council on April 29, 1994, been involved in committing and is not planning to carry out any atrocities. It has instead fallen upon us to rescue many Rwandese from such atrocities. The Rwandese Patriotic Front reiterates that all areas under its control are completely secure and open to inspection by the International community.

8. President Habyarimana and his collaborators planned and prepared for these massacres by taking advantage of the cease-fire arrangements which RPF had agreed to for the purpose of providing a suitable environment for promoting national reconciliation, restoring peace and democratizing our country.

RPF is firmly convinced that the international community has exhibited double standards by insisting that RPF must abide by the peace process agreed upon while doing nothing whatsoever about Habyarimana’s evident preparations to wreck the very peace process which they were promoting.

The United Nations mission (UNAMIR) which was in Rwanda, with a force of more than 2,500 personnel, at the outbreak of the current crisis was unable to offer protection to Rwandese Citizens who were threatened with violence. It did not intervene to stop the massacres, citing the constraints imposed by their mandate, although the mandate could have been changed by the U.N. Security Council at short notice. The force was instead withdrawn leaving the Rwando8s population at the mercy of the murderers.

The International Community stood by and helplessly watched while hundreds of thousands of innocent Rwandese Citizens perished. Few have dared to come out in public to condemn the authors of the atrocities which are being committed, let alone taken any steps to actively assist the actual and potential victims.

As a result of the massacres, it is reported (OXFAM) that more than a half million people (500,000) may have already died.

The manner and scale of the massacres clearly leave no doubt whatsoever that the atrocities which have been committed amount to genocide as defined by the relevant U.N. Conventions. We feel that the debate in some circles, including the U.N. Security Council, about whether genocide has really been committed is academic if not cynical. We the Rwandese and other people who have witnessed the atrocities first hand know for sure that genocide has indeed taken place.

The massacres have been orchestred by the so-called provisional government using the following:

1. The Presidential Guard.

2. Members of the regular National Army.

3. The Para-military Police (Gendarmerie Nationale),

4. Armed civilians and militia under the control of the late President’s party, the MRND and its allies, particularly the extremist CDR party.

The International Community owes the Rwandese people an obligation to condemn and ostracize the perpetrators of these massacres and to help in bringing them to justice. Some countries have, instead, lent legitimacy to these murderers and are already plotting to create a future role for them in the politics of our country. We would mention in particular the governments of France and Egypt which have hosted high level talks with members of the so-called provisional government and appear to be master-minding the current proposal for the deployment of a U.N. intervention force as a result of those talks.

The United Nations should take a leading role in ensuring that the members of the regime responsible for the massacres are not accorded legitimacy by any government or International organization. Should the U.N. itself receive and accord legitimacy to members of the said regime, the Rwandese Patriotic Front will have no option but to request that even the 270 member remnant of UNAMIR be recalled.

The Special Representative of the U.N. Secretary General to Rwanda, Dr. Jacques Roger Boon-Booh has throughout his stay in our country behaved in a very partisan manner and is not up to task entrusted to him. The Rwandese Patriotic Front will not participate in any future U.N. effort to resolve the Rwanda conflict unless and until the said Special Representative and his Assistant are recalled.

The time for U.N. intervention is long past. The genocide is almost completed. Most of the potential victims of the regime have either been killed or have since fled.

The Rwandese Patriotic Front believes the foremost and appropriate role U.N. agencies at this particular time would be to find the ways and means of handling the humanitarian crisis caused by the violence and displacement of the population. This humanitarian crisis has unfortunately not received the attention it deserves to date.

The Rwandese Patriotic Front regards the proposed U.N. intervention as deliberate attempt to manipulate the U.N. process and machinery to protect and support the murderers who constitute the provisional government.

Consequently, the Rwandese Patriotic Front hereby declares that it is categorically opposed to the proposed U.N. intervention force and will not under any circumstances cooperate in its setting up and operation.

In view of the forgoing the Rwandese Patriotic Front:

a. Calls upon the U.N. Security Council not to authorize the deployment of the proposed force as U.N. intervention at this stage can no longer serve any useful purpose as far as stopping the massacres is concerned.

b. Requests International Community to exert pressure on the murderers who constitute the so-called provisional government and are responsible for the massacres by:

1. Withholding recognition for the so-called provisional government which has taken power by unconstitutional means.

2. Condemning in person the prominent personalities of the regime who have been involved in committing atrocities.

3. Imposing punitive sanctions against the so called provisional government.

4. Setting in motion the process of establishing without delay war crimes tribunals and other mechanisms for bringing the persons responsible for the atrocities to justice.

c. Requests the U.N. Secretary General to replace his Special Representative in Rwanda without delay by someone more competent.

d. Calls upon the international community to urgently respond to the humanitarian crisis in Rwanda by providing assistance to the needy and gives its assurances that it shall cooperate fully in all efforts to alleviate the currant humanitarian crisis.

e. Calls upon the United Nations to immediately send a mission to areas of Rwanda controlled by RPF to confirm that no massacres or human rights of any nature have been committed by RPP forces as implied in the above-mentioned letter by the U.N. Secretary General to the Security council.

Kizito Mihigo: ni iki yanditse mu gitabo cye?

“FPR, umutwe wa politiki w’intagondwa kandi uteje akaga… ”

Ku itariki ya 17 Mata 2020, nyuma y’amezi abiri yuzuye akurikira iyicwa rya Kizito Mihigo, igitabo cye cyasohotse. Iki gitabo cyari gitegerejwe na benshi kigizwe n’inyandiko zose Kizito yakoze igihe yari afungiye muri gereza nkuru ya Kigali (1930) yaje kwimurirwa i Mageragere (Nyarugenge). Izina ry’igitabo ni : “Rwanda: Kwakira Ubwiyunge ngo ubashe Kubaho mu mahoro no gupfa byishimo”. Uyu muhanzi atunyuriramo ibyamubayeho, mu bihe bibabaje n’uburyo yarokotse itsembabwoko ryakorewe abatutsi mu 1994, uburakari bwe n’icyifuzo cyo kwihorera ku bahutu, akanatubwira uko yakirirye impano y’Imana yo kubabarira abamuhemukiye.

Atubwira ku bikorwa bye bya muzika muri Korali ya Kigali, umushinga w’indirimbo yubahiriza igihugu yitabiriye ndetse na bourse ya leta yo kwiga i Burayi. Aratubwira iby’imyaka itatu yamaze afite icyubahiro n’igitinyiro muri Kigali, umubano we n’ishyaka riri ku butegetsi (FPR), n’uburyo yaje gushwana na FPR kandi ibi akaba atabyicuza.

Iki gitabo yagituye Kizito Mihigo Peace Foundation (KMP) ndetse n’imfungwa zose za politiki zo mu Rwanda. Ni igitabo cy’ubuhamya kandi, cyane cyane ku byamubayeho ku ishimutwa rye no gushaka kumwica, ku bantu bose bagize uruhare mu bibazo yagize. Mu buryo burambuye kandi busobanutse neza, Kizito avuga ku biganiro na Inès MPAMBARA, na Bernard MAKUZA, akanatubwira amagambo akakaye n’iterabwoba by’umunyamabanga mukuru wa FPR, François NGARAMBE. Aduhishurira imishinga ye FPR yamwibye, uburenganzira bw’ibihangano bye yambuwe, urukundo rwe, n’umutuzo yaboneye muri gereza.

Umuhanzi w’umukristu, atewe ishema no kugira ubwigenge bwe bwo mu kuganira  no gutanga ibitekerezo ku kibazo icyo ari cyo cyose cyaganirwaho, cyaba icy’idini, politiki, cyangwa ubuhanzi. Yatugejejeho ibyo atekereza kuri FPR, ubwiyunge hagati y’Abahutu n’Abatutsi, abatavuga rumwe na FPR n’ibindi.

Bimwe mu byo avuga

  • Kuri FPR

FPR (Rwanda Patriotic Front), ni umutwe wa politiki w’intagondwa kandi uteje akaga gakomeye, ukaba ufite intego yo kuba ishyaka rimwe rukumbi. (Igice cya 14).

  • Ku bwiyunge hagati y’Abahutu n’Abatutsi

Ndatangara cyane kubona kuva jenoside yarangira, abatutsi baturutse hanze y’igihugu (ni ukuvuga abavuye mu Burundi, Kongo, Tanzaniya cyangwa Uganda bagarukanye na FPR) bibagora kwihanganira Abahutu, mu gihe twe twari duhari, twiboneye aya mahano kandi tukarokoka imipanga, tukicirwa abacu tubireba, twiga kubana n’abantu bose, harimo n’abicanyi, kugirango tubabarire kandi twiyunge. Binyibutsa wa mugani w’ikinyarwanda nzaririmba vuba aha: “Hataka nyirubukozwemo,  nyirubuteruranwenakebo akinumira”  (Igice cya 6) .

Indangagaciro z’amahoro n’ubwiyunge mu gukumira no gukemura amakimbirane mu buryo bw’amahoro, zigomba gusimbura urugomo, gukandamiza, ubushotoranyi, intambara n’iterabwoba byimitswe na FPR Inkotanyi. (…)

Naho ubwiyunge u Rwanda rukeneye muri iki gihe, ntabwo ari hagati y’Abahutu n’Abatutsi. Kuri ubu, ubutegetsi bwa FPR buyobowe na Perezida Kagame, bugomba kwiyunga n’abatavuga rumwe na bwo baba mu buhungiro, cyane cyane RNC ya Kayumba Nyamwasa, FDU Inkingi ya Victoire Ingabire, RDI Rwanda Nziza ya Faustin Twagiramungu, Ishyaka Ishema rya Padiri Thomas Nahimana, n’indi mitwe ya politiki yo mu Rwanda ikorera mu mahanga, mu rwego rwo gukumira no gukemura amakimbirane ashobora kuvuka. (Igice cya 34)

  • Kuri gahunda ya “Ndi Umunyanyarwanda”

“Ndi umunyarwanda”, ni gahunda mbi cyane ya politiki yo kubangamira ubwiyunge bw’igihugu, ishyira Abahutu bose mu gatebo kamwe k’abicanyi kandi FPR ikigisha ku mugaragaro urwango mu bisekuruza byose. ” Igice cya 14

Ni igitabo cyiza cyane gikwiye gusomwa na buri wese ubishoboye, cyane cyane abanyarwanda batarahumuka bakaba bakomeje kwigumira mu kinyoma cya FPR. Kugeza ubu kiracyari mu rurimi rumwe rw’igifaransa, gishobora kugurwa unyuze aha.

Chaste GAHUNDE
