Rwanda’s Untold Story Documentary

Twenty years on from the Rwandan genocide, This World reveals evidence that challenges the accepted story of one of the most horrifying events of the late 20th century. The current president of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, has long been portrayed as the man who brought an end to the killing and rescued his country from oblivion. Now there are increasing questions about the role of Kagame’s Rwandan Patriotic Front forces in the dark days of 1994 and in the 20 years since.

The film investigates evidence of Kagame’s role in the shooting down of the presidential plane that sparked the killings in 1994 and questions his claims to have ended the genocide. It also examines claims of war crimes committed by Kagame’s forces and their allies in the wars in the Democratic Republic of Congo and allegations of human rights abuses in today’s Rwanda.

Nadine Claire Kasinge and some of her political views

Leave a reply

The problem is not among the oppressors, but the oppressed. Victims experience the oppression but are reluctant to search and find the solutions to their situation.

There are not many women in the Rwandan politics of the opposition. The personality featured in these lines is young and new in that arena. On January 28th 2013, for the first time, she appeared publicly in Paris among the founders of Ishema Party led by Father Thomas Nahimana. Until recently she was one of the deputy general secretaries. Further to the decision of her party’s Congress of last month to return in 2016 and do politics in Rwanda, she has been nominated Spokesperson of her party’s presidential candidate for the 2017 elections. Nadine Claire Kasinge’s political views highlighted here were expressed in an interview in Kinyarwanda she gave to Serge Ndayizeye on Radio Itahuka on February 26th, 2014. [please once on the site type the word Nkasinge in the space reserved to search in order to access the audio]

Each person has a role to play in the politics of their own country, because politics affect their well being in one way or another. Citizens can contribute and make things better for all. If the result is positive, this will benefit everybody including themselves.

We should not consider that we don’t have any role to play because we think there are other people in charge or more able than ourselves.

It is not necessarily your background which defines your destiny, but the determination you have for shaping the future as you want it to be which does. Only can you get there gradually by working with a focused and well organised team.

For politicians, providing solutions to the real needs of people is the big deal that creates trust. Discussing with them their concerns and telling them the way one sees how they should be addressed, then starting to solve them, this is the right approach.

Being all the time guided by the principal of not compromising when things that need changing because they are not right, must change.

Everything is possible if one wants it so badly that they see is as possible. One only needs to believe in what they consider to be the solutions to the situation they are confronted with. They need to have the courage of their convictions.

At each step of the journey, their courage and persistency gain them new knowledge that makes them better equipped to work for the good of others.

It is the experience gained in solving problems that makes one become an expert in their speciality; and when there are bigger issues to be sorted out, the majority turns then to them.

Status quo that transforms into normality despite its irrationality can only be addressed by courageous and persistent characters/ personalities.

Politics is not a men’s only reserved domain but every citizen and especially women who constitute 50% of the population. Therefore women need to be more represented and effective in that sector of society.

The role of the youth in contributing to the politics of their nation is critical and imperative. Politics is not for the only mature and older male generation.

When men and women work together as equals in politics, because they think differently, the outcome of their teamwork is different from when the two operate separately or don’t engage at the same level on similar issues.

If Rwanda was effectively pro-women in politics {as this is wrongly portrayed by the regime in Kigali], there would be laws and policies in favour of families and children’s education, both areas significantly and dangerously neglected.

If on another hand the Rwandan parliament, with the highest percentage of women in the world, was effectively representative of women’s interests, the country would be one where education would be the best and top political priority, husbands’ well being [not being massively and wrongly imprisoned – editor’s emphasis], maternity leaves, etcetera would be there cared for in the interest of present and future generations.

There is strength in working with others. Debate is essential in finding suited solutions to issues. One’s view is not everybody’s views, and these ones need consideration.

Adversity calls for more determination. When you win over a challenge, you feel satisfied and more motivated to go forward.

People faced with injustices most of their time don’t realize how powerful they are in front of their oppressors.

The starting point for resolving Rwandan problems is accepting the fact that, despite anybody’s different background [either physical, social, or even intellectual], nobody is above the rest.

The problem is not among the oppressors, but the oppressed. Victims experience the oppression but are reluctant to search and find the solutions to their situation.

Not speaking out against what is wrong is only delaying the instance when that wrong will come knocking on your own door. In general when there are injustices in somebody’s country, these have negative consequences on everybody, directly or indirectly, and on future generations. Understanding that such situation can be changed is the first step of changing it.

Charles Taylor azize diyama ya Sierra Leone, Kagame azazira Colta yo muri Congo

Mu minsi ishize Charles Taylor wahoze ayobora igihugu cya Liberia yakatiwe igihano cy’imyaka 50 mu buroko amaze guhamwa n’ibyaha byo gushyigikira inyeshyamba zo muri Sierra Leone zayogoje icyo gihugu mu myaka ya 90. N’ubwo bwose Taylor yakomeje kubihakana, ibimenyetso ndetse n’ubuhamya buhagije bwaratanzwe bwerekana ukuntu Taylor yahaga inkunga umutwe Revolutionary United Front, RUF mu magambo ahinnye. Inkunga ya Taylor ntiyari imfashanyo ahubwo bwari ubucuruzi aho Taylor yatangaga imbunda n’ibikoresho bya gisirikare hanyuma umutwe wa RUF ukamuha diyama. Umutwe wa RUF urazwi cyane mu kwica urubozo abantu benshi no guca ingingo z’umubiri abantu bangaga gukorana na wo. Ibi bisa neza neza n’ibyo Perezida Paul Kagame akora mu burasirazuba bwa Congo.

Charles Taylor ni muntu ki?

Taylor akiri Inyeshyamba

Yavutse kuwa 28 Mutarama 1948 mu muryango w’abanya Liberia b’abaherwe. Yize amashuri mu gihugu cya Leta zunze ubumwe z’Amerika agaruka muri Liberia mu mwaka wa 1980 Samuel Doe amaze gukora coup d’Etat. Charles Taylor yahawe akazi mu byerekeye ingengo y’imari( General Services Agency). Nyuma yaje gushwana na Samuel Doe wamushinjaga kunyereza hafi miliyoni y’amadolari y’Amanyamerika. Ibyo byatumye Taylor ahungira muri Leta zunze ubumwe z’Amerika.

Guhunga kwe ariko ntikwamuhiriye kuko igihugu cya Liberia cyasabye ko yafatwa, nuko afungirwa muri gereza ya Plymouth County muri leta ya Massachussets. Ku itariki 15 Nzeri 1985 Charles Taylor yaje gutoroka gereza we n’abandi bane ku buryo bwabaye amayobera ndetse bamwe bakeka ko yaba yaratorokeshejwe n’Abanyamerika bashakaga ko ajya kubafasha gukuraho Samuel Doe. Mu gihe urubanza rwe rwatangiraga I La Haye, Taylor yemeje ko CIA ariyo yamufashije gutoroka. CIA nayo yemeje koko ko Taylor yayikoreye guhera mu myaka ya za 80 ariko yirinda gutanga amakuru yose.

Charles Taylor yatangiye umutwe w’inyeshyamba witwa National Patriotic Front of Liberia mu mwaka wa 1989 ndetse aza guhirika ubutegetsi bwa Samuel Doe. Ibi yabigezeho bitewe n’ubucuti yari afitanye n’abantu b’ibihangange by’icyo gihe nka Colonel Muammar Gaddafi wa Libya, Felix Houphouet-Boigny wa Cote d’Ivoire, Blaise Compaore, Perezida wa Burkina Faso uriho ubu, ndetse n’abanyemari batandukanye bo ku isi bishakiraga gukora ubucuruzi muri Liberia.

Uvugwa cyane ni umuvugabutumwa wo kuri television witwa Pat Robertson wahawe ibirombe bya diyama agakoresha indege ze mu gutwara iyo diyama nyamara abeshya ko izo ndege zikoreshwa mu gutanga imfashanyo ku barokotse genocide yo mu Rwanda.

Nyuma y’umwaka umwe ageze ku butegetsi akoresheje imbunda, mu mwaka wa 1997 Charles Taylor yatsinze amatora. Mu gihe yiyamamazaga abantu bararirimbaga ngo “Yanyiciye Mama, yanyiciye Data, ariko nzamutora!

Mu mwaka wa 2003, hasohowe impapuro zo guta muri yombi Charles Taylor maze hashize amezi abiri gusa ahita yegura biturutse ku gitutu cy’amahanga ahungira mu gihugu cya Nigeria. Aha niho yaje gufatirwa ashaka kwerekeza mu gihugu cya Cameroon asubizwa muri Sierra Leone. Urubanza rwe rwatangiye mu mwaka wa 2007 rurangira muri 2012 aho yakatiwe igihano cy’imyaka 50 kikaza no kongera gushimangirwa n’urukiko rw’ubujurire muri uyu mwaka wa 2013.

Charles Taylor na Paul Kagame ni mahwi

Ikintu gitangaje ni uburyo Charles Taylor afite ibintu byinshi ahuriyeho na Perezida w’u Rwanda Paul Kagame. Uretse kuba bombi barageze ku butegetsi bakoresheje intwaro, bose bakunda gukina tennis uretse ko Taylor we yakinaga tennis de table. Bombi bafitanye umubano ukomeye n’abantu b’abaherwe ku isi kandi bazwi mu bucuruzi bw’amabuye y’agaciro. Mu gihe Taylor yacuruzaga amabuye ya Sierra Leone, Paul Kagame we acuruza amabuye ya Congo. Taylor yafashije umutwe wa RUF Kagame we yafashije ndetse n’ubu aracyafasha imitwe itandukanye muri Congo.Umutwe w’inyeshyamba za Taylor witwa National Patriotic Front of Liberia naho uwa Kagame witwa Rwandese Patriotic Front. Imwe mu nshuti magara za Taylor ni Blaise Compaore wa Burkina Faso, uyu akaba bikaba bivugwa ko ari inshuti ya hafi ya Kagame. Taylor yitoresheje ku ngufu nk’uko Kagame ahora abigenza. Charles Taylor yaciriwe urubanza n’urukiko rwa La Haye mu gihe Kagame na we ashobora kuzakurikiranwa dore ko ibyo Taylor aregwa ari nabyo Kagame aregwa. Itandukaniro rihari ni uko mu gihe Charles Taylor aregwa kuba intambara yateye inkunga zarahitanye abantu ibihumbi 50 Kagame we intambara yashoje zahitanye abantu benshi cyane ubu babarirwa muri miliyoni 8. Nta shiti ko Kagame na we hari benshi bamuririmbira iriya ndirimbo: “yanyiciye mama, yanyiciye data ariko nzamutora”. Hari byinshi cyane aba bagabo bahuriyeho umenya ariyo mpamvu yashakaga kuza gufungirwa mu Rwanda.

Kagame akiri Inyeshyamba

Kubera gutinya uko bizamugendekera Kagame yabaye mu ba Perezida banenga urukiko rwa La Haye ngo kuko rwibasira Abanyafurika. Koffi Anan wahoze ayobora umuryango w’abibumbye aherutse kugaruka kuri iki kibazo aho yinubiye ko mu barwanya ruriya rukiko nta n’umwe uvugira abarenganyijwe kandi ari bo bakwiye kwitabwaho kurusha abanyabyaha. Umuryango w’ubumwe bw’Afurika ukaba usaba ko abantu bakiri ku myanya y’ubuyobozi batajya bakurikiranwa mu gihe batararangiza akazi. Iri rishobora kuba ikosa rikomeye kuko mu bihugu bya Afurika abantu bajya ku butegetsi ntibashake kubuvaho. Kagame na we ashobora kutazigera arekura ubutegetsi kugira ngo akomeze kugira ubudahangarwa. Nyamara yibuke ko na Taylor yokejwe igitutu bigatuma yegura!

Mu gihe urubanza rwe rwatangiraga mu gihugu cy’Ubuholandi, Ubwongereza ni bwo bwemeye kuzamwakira amaze kuburana. Ariko urubanza rukimara gusomwa, Charles Taylor yanditse ibaruwa asaba kujya kurangiriza igihano cye mu Rwanda. Impamvu atanga ngo ni uko byakorohera umuryango we kumugeraho ikindi akaba akeka ko ashobora kugirirwa nabi muri gereza zo mu Bwongereza. Amakuru atureho ubu niko Charles Taylor yamaze kugezwa mu Bwongereza aho uyu musaza w’imyaka 65 agiye gukorera imyaka 43 asigaje ku gihano yakatiwe.

Reka dukomeze turebe uko mugenzi we w’ u Rwanda we bizamugwa kuko ibimenyetso byinshi bimaze kwerekana ko bitagitinze.

Ihangana hagati ya Simeon Musengimana w’ijwi rya rubanda n’ikinyamakuru Inyenyeri news.com cya Noble Marara

Mu minsi ishize abasoma ndetse bagakurikirana amakuru ku mbuga za internet, bakurikiranye iterana ry’amagambo hagati y’umugabo Simeon Musengimana uyobora Radio Ijwi rya Rubanda n’ikinyamakuru Inyenyerinews.com kiyoborwa na Noble Marara. Mu by’ukuri ihangana hagati y’aba bagabo bombi si irya none kuko hari hashize ighe bagaragaza ko batumva ibintu kimwe, ibi bikaba nta kibazo kibirimo kuko muri Demukarasi twese duharanira umuntu agira uburenganzira bwo kumva ndetse no gutangaza uburyo we abona ibintu. Muri ubu buryo bwa demukarasi, kirazira kugira uwo uhutaza, ubeshyera cyangwa se uhimbira kuko ibi byo bihanwa n’amategeko. Ikindi kidatangaje ni uko iyo bigeze ku mateka y’u Rwanda abantu benshi bayabona uburyo butandukanye kandi akenshi usanga buri wese ashaka ko amateka ye ariyo agira ireme. Nanone ariko nk’uko nigeze kubigarukaho muri zimwe mu nyandiko zanjye, nta kuri kubiri kubaho ku kintu kimwe. Iyo abantu babiri cyangwa abarenzeho bavuga inkuru imwe ntibabashe guhuza ibyo bavuga ni ukuvuga ko haba harimo ubeshya. Muri iyi nyandiko ndagerageza kwerekana uko njye mbona ririya hangana hagati ya Musengimana na Marara, impamvu zaryo n’ingaruka rishobora kugira ku Banyarwanda twese.

Ihangana n’Impamvu zaryo.

Iyo urebeye hafi ibintu, usanga aba bagabo bombi biyemerera ko bahuriye ku kintu kimwe: guharanira demokarasi, ariko bagera ku buryo (methodologies) banyuzamo ibikorwa byabo ugasanga ari ho ibibazo bituruka. Noble Marara yiyemerera ko rwose yahagurukiye kurwanya ubutegetsi bwa Paul Kagame ashingiye ko Kagame abangamiye ubumwe n’ubwiyunge bw’Abanyarwanda bityo agasanga Abanyarwanda bagomba kwisuganya bakarwanya ubutegetsi buyobowe n’uwo mugabo Kagame. Musengimana na we ibyo niko abibona ariko akongeraho ko kugira ngo abantu bagire icyo bageraho hagomba kugira conditions zubahirizwa. Conditions Simeon atanga ni ukubanza gushakisha uko abantu bose bakoze ibyaha mu ntambara zabaye mu Rwanda bahanwa. Uko njye mbibona, ikibazo gituruka aha: Simeon aravuga ati ubucamanza bwakorewe Abanyarwanda bwarabogamye bucira imanza z’ukuri n’iz’ibinyoma Abanyarwanda bo mu bwoko bw’Abahutu, bityo akemeza ko kugira ngo ibintu bigende neza Abanyarwanda bo mu bwoko bw’Abatutsi na bo bakoze ibyaha kandi hakaba hari ibimenyetso bifatika bashyikirizwa ubucamanza.

Simeon akunda kugaruka ku bantu bahoze mu gisirikare cya FPR mu gihe ibi byaha byakorwaga na (Marara Noble yahozemo) cyane cyane akibanda kuri Nyamwasa wahoze ari chief of Staff muri Ministeri y’ingabo mu gihe cya FPR ndetse akaba yarabaye no muri bakeya bayoboraga imirwano mu ntambara ya FPR. Abandi Simeon abona bakwiye kubazwa ibyo bakoreye u Rwanda ni Colonel Karegeya Patrick, Major Rudasingwa Theogene na Gahima Gerard. N’ubwo Simeon adahagararira kuri aba bonyine, by’umwihariko aba basangiye ko bafite n’Ishyaka rya Politiki(Rwanda National Congress-RNC riharanira impinduka mu Rwanda bityo bamwe mu barwanashyaka baryo bagakeka ko Simeon atarwanya icyaha ahubwo ko yaba arwanya abakekwaho icyaha. Kubwa njye iriya nyandiko nayo yabarizwa muri iki cyiciro.

Abantu bamwe twaganiriye bakeka ko Simeon ashobora kuba yanga Abatutsi cyakora ku bwanjye nk’umuntu waganiriye na Simeon haba kuri radio ndetse n’imbonankubone, nasanze Simeon atagira ikintu cyo kwanga umuntu ngo ni uko ari Umututsi cyangwa se ari Umuhutu. Ibi bigaragazwa n’uko hari Abatutsi benshi Simeon yahaye ikaze kuri Radio ye kandi ndakeka n’ubu ariko bikimeze. Hari n’abandi bemeza kandi bashyigikiye ibyo Simeon avuga ariko bagatinya kubivugira ahagaragara kubera ubwoba. Hari n’abakeka ko Simeon akoresha imvugo ikakaye iyo yamagana ubwo bwicanyi n’ababukoze. Abandi bo bakavuga ko ibyo Simeon avuga bishobora kubangamira ugushyira hamwe kw’Abarwanya ingoma ya Kigali. Gusa rero umuntu akanibaza impamvu abantu bahatira Simeon kuvugisha imvugo yoroheje kugira ngo yamagane ibikomeye! Ikigaragara ni uko Simeon ari umwe mu bantu batinyuka gushyira ahagaragara ibiri mu mitima ya benshi, ntawe ukwiye kubimuziza.

2. Ingaruka

Zimwe mu ngaruka zo kutumva ibintu kimwe mu bihugu bitaretera intambwe igaragara muri Demukarasi nk’u Rwanda ni urwango. Urugero umuntu asomye yitonze inyandiko yasohotse ku rubuga Inyenyerinews ashobora gukeka ko harimo urwango. Inyandiko itangira yemeza ko Simeon yasahuye mu gihe cya jenoside ariko nta kimenyetso itanga. Ahajya gusa n’ahari ikimenyetso ni aho inyandiko ivuga ko Leta yategetse GACACA gukatira Simeon. Ibi biteye urujijo kuko mu gihe Abarwanya Leta ya Kagame benshi bazi kandi bakemeza ko ziriya nkiko Gacaca zagizwe igikoresho cyo gucecekesha benshi mu Bahutu, noneho harimo bamwe bagendera ku myanzuro y’izo nkiko ngo bashinje abandi ibyaha.

Niba koko ibyo Simeon avugwaho ari ukuri, jye simbona impamvu uwabyanditse atajya ahagaragara ngo a defende ibyo ubushakashatsi bwe bwagezeho, keretse nyine niba hari icyo ahisha. Ubundi ukuri guca mu ziko ntigushye kandi amaherezo kujya ahagaragara.

Indi ngaruka ni uko inyandiko nka ziriya mu gihe zitabashije gutanga ibimenyetso bifatika zizajya zifatwa nk’iziba zigamije kwangisha umuntu abandi. Iyo rero hagize umusomyi uzibona akagira kwicecekera aba ahaye urwaho ikinyoma aho kigaragara. Hari abantu bashobora kwibwira ko bitabareba bityo bakaruca bakarumira. Nyamara ruriye abandi rutabibagiwe.

Hakozwe ama listes y’ “Abajenosideri” (kubwanjye asa n’inyandiko nk’izi) adafite icyo ashingiyeho uretse kuba abayashyirwaho badahari. Amayeri n’uburyarya byakurikiragaho byatumaga utayashyizweho ahita acira urubanza abayariho. Henshi mu Rwanda, Abasirikare ba FPR bakimara kuhagera bakoreshaga inama bagatera ubwoba abaturage bati niba atari mwebwe mugomba kutubwira abishe Abaturanyi banyu. Umwe mu baturage kubera kugira ubwoba ati ababishe barahunze. Kuva uwo mwanya uwahunze akaba abaye Interahamwe, bahera ku murongo aho gukora liste y’abakekwaho ubwicanyi hakorwa liste y’abahunze kuko nyine “guhunga” byabaye “kwica”. Icyakurikiyeho ni uko uwahungutse wese yahitaga ajyanwa muri gereza nta kindi abajijwe ngo kuko ama listes yakozwe!

Kugeza n’uyu munsi Abanyarwanda tubana n’ingaruka z’iyo myitwarire. Benshi bahisemo kwigira mu myobo barihisha kuko bakeka ko baramutse bavuze bashyirwa ku rutonde rw’abicanyi cyangwa bagasohoka mu nyandiko nk’iriya yakozwe kuri Simeon. Bityo rero inyandiko nka ziriya zifatwa nk’iterabwoba ryo gucecekesha abo mudahuje ibitekerezo. Ibi nta we ukwiye kubifata nk’ibyoroshye, ni ikintu tugomba kwamaganira kure kuko inkoni ikubise mukeba bayirenza urugo.

3.Umwanzuro:

Ubundi kutumva ibintu kimwe byari bikwiye gufatwa nk’ubukungu aho kugira ngo umuntu bamurebe nabi ko yatanze ibitekerezo uburyo bo batabitanga ahubwo agashimwa. Ibi byatuma Abanyarwanda bamenya kuganira bakavugisha ukuri yewe kabone n’iyo kwaba ari kwa kundi kuryana. Buri wese wageze mu rubuga mpuzabitekerezo ntacyo aba agomba gutinya yemere bamujoge bamuhate ibibazo na we agire ubutwari bwo kubisubiza. Uregwa ibyaha yisobanure imbere ya rubanda cyangwa se akoreshe iri tangazamakuru n’itumanaho rigezweho, dufite amahirwe ntitukiri muri 1994. Abafite amakuru nyayo bayatange kandi bajye imbere ya rubanda badatitira ukuri kuganze, ikinyoma gikubitirwe ahareba I Nzega.

N’ubwo u Rwanda n’Abanyarwanda twakubititse tugomba kugira uburyo bunoze bwo guhangana n’ibibazo ari nako tubishakira ibisubizo, ariko guceceka ibyabaye byo nkeka ko kwaba ari ukuvura ibimenyetso by’indwara wirengagije icyayiteye. Nibiba ngombwa abantu bumvikane ku muti urura twanywa kugira ngo dukire ariko twirinde kunywa umuti ushobora kugira side effects zaduhitana.

Umunya Uganda Andrew Mwenda ashobora kuzabazwa ibyo Perezida Kagame akora.

Mu gihe hashize iminsi itari mikeya U Rwanda rurebana ay’ingwe na Tanzania, hakomeje iterana ry’amagambo hagati y’ibyo bihugu binyujijwe mu binyamakuru ari ibya Leta ari n’ibyigenga. Mu gihe ku ruhande rwa Tanzania usanga hari ukwifata no gukoresha ubwitonzi ku bategetsi, siko bimeze ku ruhande rw’u Rwanda. Nyuma y’aho Ministri w’ububanyi n’amahanga yatangiye kuvuga nabi Tanzania na Perezida wayo, cyakora akaza gusa n’ushaka kwihohora, ubu noneho Abajyanama ba Perezida Kagame ni bo bagezweho mu gukora uwo murimo kandi ngo urimo akamiya gatubutse. Gusa rero bashatse barya bari menge.

Andrew Mwenda ni umwe mu Bajyanama ba Perezida Kagame

Abinyujije ku rubuga Tweeter ku wa 19 Kanama 2013, umujyanama wa Perezida Kagame uvuka muri Uganda, Andrew Mwenda, yagaragaje ibyo atekereza kuri iki kibazo. Mwenda atangira avuga ko yatangaye cyane ngo amaze kuvumbura ko Kikwete afitanye isano ya hafi n’abo yise aba genocidaires. Avuga ko mu nyandiko yasohowe na Wikileaks bigaragazwa ko umugore wa Perezida Kikwete ari mubyara wa nyakwigendera Perezida Habyarimana! Si Mwenda wenyine wavuze iyi nkuru kuko no mu binyamakuru byinshi bisohokera mu Rwanda iyi nkuru yatangajwe. Ikindi ngo byavuzwe ko Kikwete yajyaga yohereza intwaro mu Burundi aziha Abahutu mu gihe barwanyaga Leta. Aha umuntu akibaza impamvu uyu mujyanama ashaka kwigira injiji ku ngufu. Aba genocidaires avuga ni bande? Ni Abahutu bo mu Burundi byabaye ngombwa ko bafata intwaro ngo birwaneho mu gihe bari bagiye gushirira ku icumu bicwa umusubizo nk’udushwiriri? Umu genocidaire se ni Habyarimana wapfuye na genocide itaraba? Andrew Mwenda yanteye kwibaza byinshi.

Andrew Mwenda akomeza avuga ko Kikwete mu kwirukana Abanyamahanga batagira ibyangombwa yari agambiriye Abatutsi, ngo na ho abandi bose ni ibitambo (collateral). N’ubwo atari we wa mbere ubikemanga, uburyo Mwenda yabyanditse arasa n’uwerekana ko hari isano hagati ya genocide y’Abatutsi yo muri 1994, intambara zo mu Burundi n’iyirukanwa ry’Abatagira ibyangombwa muri Tanzania. Bityo kuri Mwenda wa Independent, Tanzania irimo gushyira mu bikorwa umugambi wateguwe neza kuva kera akawugereranya na genocide. Twibutse ko kugeza n’ubu FPR ihora yemeza ko genocide yateguwe igihe kirekire nyamara urukiko rwashyiriweho kuburanisha abaregwa genocide rwa Arusha rukaba rutarabashije kugaragaza ko uwo mugambi wabayeho. Ibi ntibivuga ko wenda utabayeho, ahubwo bivuga ko abaciriwe imanza bose batagize uruhare mu gutegura uwo mugambi. Bityo ubwo umugambi utagaragariye ku baregwa kwica Abatutsi umuntu yawushakira mu kindi gihande, ni ukuvuga FPR n’abafasha bayo.

Usesenguriye hafi inyandiko za Andrew Mwenda, urasanga avuga ko mbere hariho umugambi wa Tanzania wo kwirukana Abatutsi hanyuma ijambo rya Kagame rikaba imbarutso, kimwe n’uko ihanurwa ry’indege ya Habyarimana ryabaye imbarutso ya genocide. Aho ibi byombi bihuriye ni uko iyo migambi yombi (uwa genocide n’uwo kwirukana Abatutsi muri Tanzania) nta gihamya ko yabayeho. Ikindi iyo migambi yombi ifite imbarutso zikomoka kuri Perezida Kagame. Ibi ni byo Andrew Mwenda atsinda kuvuga ariko uwumva aba yumvise !

Mwenda arahunga nkana impamvu yaba yaratumye Tanzania yirukana Abanyarwanda akavuga ko abari bagenderewe ari Abatutsi abandi bakaba ibitambo. Usesenguye amagambo ya Mwenda urasanga abwira Abahutu ati mwe ntacyo mubaye n’ubundi mwamenyereye kubungera mu mashyamba, abababaje ni izi mfura ! Mu by’ukuri Andrew Mwenda agaragaje ingengabitekerezo y’ivangura. Abaye nka wa wundi (Mukagasani Yolanda) uherutse gusetsa imikara ngo ko Human Rights Watch itavugira abari kwirukanwa, nyamara sinigeze numva muri 1996 hari utabariza abirukanwaga. Cyakora sinamurenganya niba yaravutse nyuma ya 1996 da ! Ubu mu Banyarwanda birukanwa muri Tanzania haravugwa bakeya bakorewe urugomo, nyamara muri Congo ho imirambo ntigira ingano.

Bamwe mu Banyarwanda birukanywe muri Tanzania

Mu gihe ubu Abanyarwanda benshi barangamiye ibiri kubera ku mpunzi zirukanwa muri Tanzania, habuze umuyobozi muri Guverinoma ugira ijambo mbwirwaruhame ngo agaragaze icyo leta ya FPR ibitekereza ho. Ubusanzwe Leta ifite inshingano zo kurinda no kuvugira buri Munyarwanda wese aho ava akagera, ibi bigakorwa binyujijwe muri Ministeri y’Ububanyi n’amahanga na yo ikoresheje za Ambassades zayo hirya no hino. Ndetse FPR yo yemeza ko hari n’igihe ikoresha intwaro kugira ngo irwanire abantu n’ubwo baba atari Abanyarwanda ariko bakaba bavuga ikinyarwanda! FPR ivuga ko ibi ari byo byakuruye intambara zo muri Congo. Uretse ubu buryo bwa za ambassades kandi, Perezida wa Repubulika ni we wa mbere ushinzwe diplomacy y’igihugu cye. Ibi bisobanuye ko Perezida Kagame ashobora kubazwa icyo yakoze cyangwa se atakoze kuri ibi biri kuba ku Banyarwanda yari ashinzwe kurinda. Ahari wenda ashobora kuba atekereza ati ubundi se ko nta wantoye ndarwana n’iki? Namenye ko iyo wibye ubuyobozi uba wibye n’inshingano zabwo hamwe n’imvune zose zijyana na bwo.

Kuki FPR yaruciye ikarumira?

Ukurikiye ibivugwa n’Abategetsi ba Kigali urasanga nta kintu kigaragaza ko Leta yababajwe n’uko izi mpunzi zirukanwa igitaraganya. Ikivugwa ngo ni uko n’abasigaye bagomba kuza hakiri kare nyamara bakongeraho ko bazi neza ko impunzi zahawe igihe gitoya. Niba koko bizwi ko izi mpunzi zahawe igihe gitoya, Leta ikaba izi ko ibi bibangamiye Abanyarwanda, hakozwe iki kugira ngo nibura bahabwe igihe cyiyongereyeho? Leta yanze kugira icyo ibitangazaho ngo hato itaza kwitwa ko idashaka ko Abanyarwanda bagaruka mu gihugu cyabo. Nyamara iyo umwe mu bayobozi twavuze haruguru asaba Leta ya Tanzania guha igihe cyiyongereyeho kugira ngo Abanyarwanda babanze bitegure, abagurisha inka zabo babikore, abasarura imyaka yabo babone akanya,… nta cyemeza ko Tanzania itari gusuzumana ubwitonzi icyo cyifuzo. Iyo ibi biba Tanzania ikabyanga byari kujya ahagaragara nabyo tukabimenya. Ikintu kiri mu mitwe y’Abategetsi ba Kigali ni “ Perezida Kikwete waTanzania ni umugome”.

Commission y’uburenganzira bwa Muntu yasuye Umunyarwanda warasiwe muri Tanzania

Ikintu Abanyarwanda ari aba barimo kwirukanwa ari n’abandi babikurikiranira hafi bakwiye kwitondera ni uko bigaragara ko Perezida Paul Kagame yamaze gukora imibare ye neza. Ashaka kubiba urwangano hagati y’Abanyarwanda n’Abanyatanzania kugira ngo igihe yashaka abandi yohereza guhungabanya Tanzania bitazamurushya. Aha birumvikana ko uwo ari we wese azaba avuga ati tugiye kurwanira imitungo yacu Abanyatanzania basigaranye, tugiye kugaruza amasambu yacu, n’ibindi. Mu by’ukuri mu gihe ku bareba hafi cyane bakeka ko barimo kurenganywa ndetse na Leta ikabumvisha ko barenganyijwe koko, hari ababifitemo inyungu kandi bafite umugambi mutindi bateguye. Dore uko uyu mugambi mutindi njye nywubona:

Amakuru aturuka ahantu hizewe yerekana ko u Rwanda rwohereje Abantu bagera ku bihumbi 35,000 mu gihugu cya Tanzania bagamije guhungabanya umutekano w’icyo gihugu bitwaje ko ngo FDLR ishobora gutera ariho iturutse. Guhakanira FPR ntibyoroshye bitewe n’amateka ya vuba twese tuyiziho cyane cyane ashingiye ku kinyoma n’urugomo. Icya mbere FPR ifite ibibazo byo kuyoborwa n’umuntu umwe kandi bamwe mu bahoze bayirimo mu nzego zo hejuru bemeza ko uwo muntu atagira umugira inama. Yewe n’Abazungu bikekwa ko ari bo bamushyize ku butegetsi agera aho akabatuka akabandagaza. Yanashwanye na Museveni wamufashije igihe kitari gitoya. Ibi byose ikabihishira ikwiza ikinyoma cyaminuje. Icya kabiri ni uko FPR yakomeje kurangwa n’ubushotoranyi mu bihugu duturanye ku buryo nta wakwizera ko akabaye icwende ubu noneho kamaze koga.

Icyiyongera kuri ibi ngo ni ishyari Perezida Kagame yaba yaragiriye Perezida Kikwete kuva mu mwaka ushize aho yasabaga Perezida Obama kuzasura u Rwanda nyamara aho gusura u Rwanda akihitiramo gusura Senegal, Afurika y’epfo na Tanzania. Kagame we yifuzaga ko ari we mu Perezida ufatwa nk’inkundwa y’Amerika kugira ngo birusheho kumwongerera ubuhangange. Kagame amaze kubona ibi byose yaba yiteguye bidasubirwaho guhungabanya iki gihugu kandi kizwi ho kuba cyarabereye umuturanyi mwiza u Rwanda kuva mu mateka ya kera. Uyu mugambi wa Kagame nta muntu wo muri FPR washoboraga kuwushyigikira mu gihe barimo banamubaza impamvu bakomeje kohereza ingabo gupfira muri Congo. Maze kugira ngo Kagame ashake amaboko mu Banyarwanda aba yifashe ku gahanga ajya muri “mpangara nguhangare” yibasira Perezida wa Tanzania. Ibi Kagame si ibyamugwiririye kuko yabikoze inshuro zirenze imwe, iya mbere akaba yarabivugiye imbere y’Abasirikare mu Nyakinama, akomerezaho imbere y’urubyiruko i Kigali ari naho twese twaje kumenya ko Kagame umugambi yawurangije. Aha benshi mu ntore bamuhaye amashyi kuko mu byo batojwe harimo ko Intore nkuru yavuga ibyiza, yavuga ibibi, igomba guhabwa amashyi n’impundu.

Perezida Kagame yagaragaje ko ibyo yavuze bitamucitse ngo asabe imbabazi dore ko we ahora abwira abandi ngo bazisabe n’ubwo baba batarakoze icyaha. Ndizera ko ba babandi bamaze kuminuza mu gusabira imbabazi abatabibasabye bakwiye kuzisabira Paul Kagame. Paul Kagame yari azi neza ko Tanzania izagira icyo ikora kandi ko bizahungabanya Abanyarwanda benshi. Nyamara nyine ni byo yashakaga. Tanzania yo yakoze akazi kayo ko kwirinda. Biragoye ku muntu utari Umunyarwanda kumusobanurira ko hari Abanyarwanda babi n’Abanyarwanda beza. Ku baba mu mahanga ngira ngo mwarabibonye. Ube Umututsi, ube Umuhutu, ube Umutwa, mu gihe cyose ufite Ubunyarwanda kuri wowe ntukibeshye ko bazakwizera, bazahora bagukeka ko ushobora kugira nabi. Ibi bituruka ku mateka yacu atari meza y’ubugizi bwa nabi n’ubwicanyi bwaranze Abanyarwanda. Kuri Tanzania biragoye kumenya abari muri bya bihumbi 35 byoherejweyo. Ikindi kibishimangira ni gahunda zimaze iminsi zikorwa mu Rwanda aho Abasore baba mu mahanga binyabya mu Rwanda bagakoreshwa imyitozo ya gisirikare bakongera bagasubizwa aho batuye mu mahanga. Ibi na byo birakemangwa cyane kandi aba basore si Abatutsi gusa si n’Abahutu gusa, bose baravanze. Birakomeye rero kugira ngo Tanzania imenye gutoranya ufite imigambi mibisha n’utayifite.

Icyo Abanyarwanda bakwiye kwirinda muri iyi minsi ni ukugirira inzika Abanya Tanzania kuko ibibabayeho bifite imvano. Ku mugani wa wa mukurambere aho kwica Gitera wakwica ikibimutera.

Ese imyifatire ya H.E Paul Kagame ni inzira yo gukemura ikibazo cy’ubuhunzi?

Ese imyifatire ya H.E Paul Kagame ni inzira yo gukemura ikibazo cy’ubuhunzi?

Kuva mu mpera z’ukwezi kwa gatanu uyu mwaka umubano hagati ya Tanzania n’u Rwanda warahungabanye cyane ku buryo byageze n’aho Perezida w’u Rwanda avuga ko azubikira uwa Tanzania akamukindura. (I will wait you at the right place and I will hit you). Ubundi ntibisanzwe ko umuperezida w’igihugu avugira ku Karubanda ko azagirira nabi mugenzi we w’ikindi gihugu. Iri jambo rya perezida Kagame ryakoze amateka ku Banyarwanda ndetse n’Abatuye akarere k’ibihugu bituriye ibiyaga bigari. Inzego z’ubutasi za Tanzania zabihuje n’amakuru zari zisanganywe ko u Rwanda rwohereje abantu benshi muri Congo, Tanzania na Uganda guhungabanya umutekano w’ibyo bihugu ngo hagamijwe kugira ngo u Rwanda rwonyine ruzagaragare ko ari cyo gihugu gifite umutekano usesuye mu karere.

Abagerageza gukora isesengura basanga Perezida Paul Kagame ashobora kuba ananiwe cyane akaba atagishobora gupima uburemere bw’amagambo ye mbere yo kuyavuga. Ndetse hari n’abavuze ko yaba afite uburwayi butuma umuntu atagira ibanga (ngo ubu burwayi akaba anabufatanyije n’uburwayi bwa Cancer y’uruhu). N’ubwo nta gihamya ihari yemeza iby’ubu burwayi, ibikorwa Perezida Paul Kagame akora byatuma koko abantu batekereza ko yaba afite ikibazo, bityo kugeza igihe nta kimenyetso kibivuguruza kandi Kagame agakomeza gukora nk’ibyo akora, benshi bazagera aho babifateho ukuri ko igihugu cy’u Rwanda kiyobowe n’umurwayi. Iyi si inkuru ishimishije kubona igihugu gifite abaturage barenga miliyoni 11 badashobora kwibonamo umuyobozi ufite ubuzima buzira umuze. Ikindi Perezida Kagame yagombye guhabwa umwanya wo kuruhuka dore yakoze byinshi byiza cyangwa bibi kandi bitoroshye ku buryo ikiruhuko ari ngombwa. Indi mpamvu uyu musaza yagombye gufata ikuruhuko cy’izabukuru n’ubwo yari akiri mutoya cyane ugereranyije na Mugabe cyangwa Museveni, ni ingaruka ibikorwa bye bigira kubo yari akwiye kurinda.

Kagame ngo yatekerezaga ko Tanzania yaba ifitanye umubano n’Abarwanya Leta y’u Rwanda ngo kuko yemeye kohereza ingabo mu gikorwa cyo kugarura umutekano muri Congo ikaba izacakiranirayo n’ingabo z’U Rwanda bizwi neza ko zifasha imitwe ihungabanya umutekano cyane cyane umutwe wa M23. Tanzania ntiyigeze ibifata nk’ibyoroshye ahubwo nayo yatangiye gufata ingamba zo kwirwanaho amazi atararenga inkombe. Ingamba ya mbere ni ukwirukana Abanyarwanda bose baba muri Tanzania batujuje ibyangombwa. Amakuru dukesha ibinyamakuru byo muri Tanzania agaragaza ko mu by’ukuri n’ubwo perezida Kikwete yihanganye ntagaragaze uburakari ndetse ntapfe kuvuga irije nka mugenzi we w’u Rwanda, Abasirikare ba Tanzania bo bagize umujinya mwinshi cyane. Perezida Kikwete ubwo yatangaga itegeko ngo bakore operations zo gushakisha abahungabanya umutekano, Abasirikare babonye urubuga rwo kwihimura ku muntu wese uvuka mu Rwanda. Abahunze u Rwanda mu mwaka wa 1959 n’imyaka yakurikiyeho bavuga ko bahunze ubutegetsi bwa Parmehutu nibo Tanzania yahereyeho bacuzwa ibyangombwa bahambirizwa nabi. Abahunze muri 1994 bo n’ubundi abenshi nta byangombwa bari bafite abenshi bafashe inzira bashyira akarago ku mutwe berekeza iya Uganda. Ibi byose bibaye kubera umuyobozi mukuru w’u Rwanda.

Perezida Kikwete yahaye Abanyarwanda ibyumweru bibiri ngo babe batakiri ku butaka bwa Tanzania

Ubusanzwe si ikibazo ko impunzi itaha iwabo. Ariko rero gutaha ntibyoroha cyane cyane ko impunzi igomba kwizera ko hari umutekano. Ikibazo Abategetsi b’u Rwanda bakunze kwirengagiza ni uko umutekano atari ukuba nta masasu avuga mu gihugu gusa. Habaho n’umutekano w’ubukungu. Bityo dore ibibazo Abategetsi ba Kigali bari bakwiye gusubiza mu gihe cyose bavuga ko ibyangombwa byuzuye kugira ngo ushaka gutaha aze :

1. Ese uwo muntu mushaka ko atahuka mufite aho mugiye kumutuza ?

2. Muzamuha akazi cyangwa mumufashe kwihangira umurimo ?

3. Muzamubonera isambu akeneye yo gukoreramo ibikorwa yakoraga?

4. Abana be se muzabarihira ishuri kandi n’abo mufite mwananiwe kubaha bourse ?

5. Ese umutekano we urarinzwe bihagije ?

Rero ngo ni uko bitaye ku Banyarwanda kandi bakaba bashaka ko bose baba mu gihugu. Aha siho hari ikibazo. Nta we urusha Abanyarwanda kumenya igihugu cyabo ndetse no kugikunda. Abanyarwanda bazi ubwenge kandi bazi aho bashaka gutura. Mu buzima umuntu afata ibyemezo akurikije aho inyungu ze ziri. Bityo rero mu gihe mu Rwanda inyungu z’Umunyarwanda zitaruta izo afite ahandi, bazajya bahatira abantu gutaha ndetse bananyuzemo bakoreshe amasasu ariko nta gisubizo kirambye kizagerwaho. Niba umuntu yumva adatekanye, nta mpamvu yahatirwa gutura aho umutima we udaterera mu gituza.

Uretse Tanzania imaze kohereza abarenga 2000 mu Rwanda, mu gihugu cya Repubulika iharanira Demokarasi ya Congo na ho Abanyarwanda ntiborohewe kuko inzego zishinzwe iperereza zatanze itegeko ryo gukora umukwabo wo gushakisha abakekwaho gucura umugambi uherutse kuburizwamo wo kwica Perezida Kabila. Ntibyoroshye kumenya niba Kabila yari agiye kwirenzwa n’Abanyarwanda cyangwa se n’aboherejwe na Perezida Kagame nk’uko bikemangwa kubera ko ubundi Kabila asanzwe yigaragaza nk’umuntu ukorera inyungu za FPR yabereye umuyoboke n’umusirikare igihe kitari gitoya. Gusa rero bamwe mu babikurikiranira hafi basanga Kabila asigaye ashaka kumvira umuryango wa SADC kurusha FPR kandi uyu muryango Tanzania ikaba iwufitemo ijambo rikomeye, dore ko Perezida Kikwete ari we ushinzwe ibijyanye na Politiki muri uyu muryango. Ibi rero ngo byaba byaratumye Kagame atangira kwishisha Kabila akaba akeka ko batakomeza gukorana. Abanyarwanda hafi ibihumbi bitatu ubu bafungiwe I Kinshasa bazira gusa kuba bafitanye isano n’u Rwanda kabone n’aho baba batazi iby’umugambi wo kwivugana Kabila. Ese ibi hari icyo bibwiye Abategetsi b’u Rwanda?

Igihugu cya Uganda cyo kiratangaza ko gikomeje kwakira impunzi nyinshi cyane zivuye muri Congo, mu Rwanda no muri Tanzania. Impunzi ziturutse muri Congo ziravuga ko zafatiwe mu Rwanda zikajyanwa kurwana muri M23 zitabishaka. Izituruka mu Rwanda zirimo ingeri nyinshi. Hari abahunga ubukene, hari abahunga itotezwa bakorerwa na FPR, ariko abenshi bakaba ari abahunga kubera icyoba ubu kirangwa mu gihugu.

Ubu noneho ngira ngo Minisitiri Mukantabana yishimye ko ikibazo cy’ubuhunzi Tanzania igikemuye. Ariko nanone ubu buryo gikemuwemo ni inzira y’ubusamo kandi huti huti akenshi ibyara shishi itabona. Iyi nzira y’ubusamo yageragejwe muri 1996 ubwo ibitwaro bya rutura n’abasirikare benshi boherejwe mu nkambi za Congo ngo bice impunzi izidapfuye bazicyure. Uyu mugambi ntiwapfubye uko wakabaye kuko hapfuye impunzi zitagira ingano hagatahuka n’izindi nkeya. Perezida Kagame we yigambye ko ababazwa n’uko hari abamucitse. Nyamara rero inzira y’ubusamo ntitanga igisubizo kirambye. Impunzi zarishwe izindi ziracyurwa ariko ubaze abamaze kongera guhunga wakwibaza icyo FPR yaruhiye! N’ubu haracyariho umugambi wo kurimbura impunzi, aba mbere ngo bashakishwa akaba ari abatavuga rumwe n’ubutegetsi bwa Paul Kagame. Kayumba Nyamwasa ni umwe mu barusimbutse.

Igisetsa na ko igiteye agahinda ni uko abategetsi babwira abantu ngo nibatahe bahora barwanira kohereza abana babo mu mahanga. Kagame yajyaga avuga ngo Abategetsi ba mbere boherezaga abana kwiga mu mahanga kandi aba rubanda batiga, none na we abe bibera muri America mu gihe abo mu gihugu bambuwe bourse yo kwiga. Ubu mu Rwanda umwana wemerewe kwiga muri Universite ni uwarokotse genocide cyangwa se ufite ababyeyi bayirokotse. Utararokotse cyangwa uwarokotse ubwicanyi bwa FPR we ntashobora no guhabwa icumbi, ahubwo hejuru yo kwiyishyurira amafaranga y’ishuri agomba no gutanga umusanzu wa FARG no mu kigega Agaciro Fund. Ese nk’uyu mwana uba adafite akazi baba bumva azatanga amafranga ayakuye he koko? Ariko se abategetsi b’u Rwanda bagira umutimanama koko? Bamwe muri aba bana na bo ababishoboye berekeza iy’ubuhungiro bakajya kongera umubare w’impunzi, uwo ni wo musaruro wo kunyura inzira y’ubusamo.

Ubu Abanyarwanda bakeneye ko Perezida Kagame ajya ahabona akavuga niba yishimiye ibiri kuba ku benegihugu bari batuye muri Tanzania na Congo nyuma y’imyitwarire ye idahwitse, ubundi bakamubaza utundi tubazo tw’amatsiko ariko tutoroshye kubonera ibisubizo.

Five illusions a naïve visitor to Rwanda falls for

Five illusions a naïve visitor to Rwanda falls for

ILLUSION 1: Rwanda is an environmental haven

By David Himbara

Hey, I admit it. I am some kind of addict. But not to drugs or ganja or booze as my Rwandan biographers would have it. I am addicted to writing about development and to my family. So here I am writing away for a few minutes in the middle of my sunny holiday.

Upon arrival at Kigali International Airport, and the short drive from there to downtown Kigali, a naïve visitor will have gulped down five illusions. But first, what is an illusion? An illusion refers to perception of something that does not correspond to what exists in the real world. Illusions fool people, including you and me! Magicians use illusions. That is why they are also known as illusionists. Magicians do not perform miracles —they just appear to do so via clever tricks. So what the illusions does the naïve visitor to Rwanda fall for — the things that appear real but are actually fake?

At the airport, plastic bags are taken away from everyone. The justification for this is that Rwanda is an environmental haven and example of best practices to the rest of world on saving mother earth. Even the Doubting Thomas among the visitors gets impressed by the time he/she has reached the Serena Hotel, not least the palm tree-covered highway, and the neat and orderly passers-by and the incredibly clean-looking environment of city of Kigali.

THE REALITY:

The Rwandan Capital City of Kigali is an environmental catastrophe waiting to happen. A city of about one million people, the size of Detroit in United States or Birmingham in the United Kingdom, Kigali does not have a central sewage or a single treatment plant. Every private, commercial and industrial building still uses latrine either in its primitive form of a hole in the earth, or in its modern form – the septic tank, itself often shoddily-constructed. In either case, the human refuse ends into the soil, and subsequently dumped into River Nyabugogo/River Akagera system and off to Uganda, Sudan and Egypt. The Rwandan countryside repeats the pattern sending tons of human refuse into national, regional and international water systems.

WHAT TO DO?

President Paul Kagame, please find US$50million to acquire a treatment plant and a centralized sewage system for Kigali City. As you are well aware, various studies have made convincing options to get the job done. Meanwhile, as you know Your Excellency, the open sewers in parts of Kigali City often send unfortunate old and young Rwandans to their death during the rainy seasons as they become raging rivers. Stop being an illusionist Sir – make this thing a reality. Why don’t you use part of the US$400 million bond to fix this disaster? The Kigali Convention Centre can wait a bit longer and come later into a genuinely clean city after this thing has been fixed. Otherwise right now Kigali is in reality the most environmentally-degraded and dirtiest habit even by regional standards. Right next door in Burundi, Bujumbura has a centralized sewage system – Kigali is a latrine city by contrast. Of course, Sir, the Sewage thing may not be clamorous and show-and-tell kind of thing, but it is essential. Don’t you agree?

ILLUSION 2: Rwandans are now reconciled

On arrival, our gullible guest to Rwanda has been received by highly courteous immigration officials. And after collecting her luggage downstairs, her plastic bags have been taken away to protect mother earth. And once outside, her taxi drives away towards Serena Hotel on a palm-tree lined boulevard without a single pothole. Who indeed would not be impressed by these things?

The visitor then poses to her taxi driver the one question she has been dying to ask since she set foot on the Rwandan soil. “So tell me, are you a Hutu or Tutsi?” The reply stuns her. “Look Madam, this is a new Republic of Rwanda. We are only Rwandans here. You can in fact go to jail for asking that. We do not tolerate divisionism and such mindsets that breed genocide ideology.” The naïve lady visitor happily settles in the back seat of her taxi, satisfied that a miracle has happened in a country that almost self-destructed via ethnic hatred and genocide back in 1994.

ILLUSION 2:

Rwandans are now reconciled, freed from divisive ethnic labels by a progressive government that is successfully building a united and prosperous future for all Rwandans. Ethnic divisions in Rwanda are no more.

REALITY:

Beyond the generic rhetoric of today’s Rwandan leadership, no one really knows the extent of reconciliation. How can anyone assess and know such a thing in an atmosphere in which almost all issues are deemed taboo to talk about?

Nonetheless, we have a sense of what Rwandans may be feeling. A snap review of the past 19 years since President Paul Kagame has been at the helm of Rwandan political economy, illustrates an unattainable political environment for reconciliation:

RPF commits itself in 1994 to power-sharing both inside the party and nationally, with the victorious General Paul Kagame making a strategic concession by taking a position specially created for him – Vice Presidency – which he held together with Minister of Defense, making the General the king-maker;
Pasteur Bizimungu becomes President of Rwanda;
Things soon unravel by 1997-8;
RPF chairman Kanyaregwe is unceremoniously dumped;
Vice President Kagame takes over as chairman;
Pasteur Bizimungu, the head of state, reduced to Kagame’s deputy in the party;
To grasp the absurdity of this machination, imagine Yoweri Kaguta Museveni who is the president of Uganda reduced to deputy president of NRM and Edward Ssekandi, who is the vice president of the country, grabbing party presidency;
Fast-track to 2000, President Bizimungu is finally removed (and later imprisoned), Paul Kagame becomes head of state and party;
Once Paul Kagame is in the presidency, the post of vice president mysteriously vanishes into thin air never to be heard of again;
Fast-track to 2013, no significant senior ministerial post, besides the Presidency, remains in the hands of Hutu leaders – including Finance, Defense, Foreign Affairs, Cabinet Affairs, Justice (both the Minister and Chief Justice), Central Bank, Health, Education, and Local Government. Throw in the chief of police and head of prosecuting authority!

It would be a grave mistake to see the current rule simply as a Tutsi regime, however. It is President Paul Kagame’s regime, a one-man thing demanding total allegiance in which a single diverging/independent thought is enough ground to become ruthlessly purged. The recent removal of former Justice Minister Kagarugama is further evidence, if any were still needed. Karugarama’s crime was, apparently, to hold fast to the Rwandan Constitution which does not allow any head of state to hold power longer than two 7 year terms – 14 years in all.

The post-1994 Rwandan history hardly paints a journey to reconciliation and long-term stability.

ILLUSION 3: Rwanda is a role model in empowering women

As our gullible visitor moves steadily from the airport and reaches the Nyarutarama junction, she is shown by the taxi driver a magnificent set of buildings sitting on top of an imposing hill. The taxi man explains to the visitor that what she is now looking at is the parliamentary complex – the sitting of Rwandan parliamentarians and senators. Excitedly, the lady visitor asks the driver: “is it true women are so empowered and even determine the legislative direction of your country?” To which the taxi driver proudly responds: “Madam – I may not know some of these things, but thanks to our visionary leadership, women are not only empowered, they also form the majority of our representatives in parliament. I hear this over and over again on the radio.”

ILLUSION 3:

Because the majority of Rwandan parliamentarians are female – at 56% – an even higher percentage than in Sweden which is globally recognized for its leadership in this cause, Rwanda is a role model in empowering women.

A real parliament normally has at least four functions – (1) representing the constituency, civil society and citizens at large, including the downtrodden; (2) consolidating the national interest via bipartisanship by giving voice to all its members, regardless whether they are drawn from the ruling party or the opposition; (3) improving governance by legislating and drafting laws; and (4) holding the executive branch accountable in management of public affairs including budgetary resources and public assets.

So now, does it follow that because the Rwandan parliament has female majority, it is somehow an inclusive and innovative legislative body that meets these basic responsibilities, including competencies to improve the lives of women? Whoever answers this in affirmative, he/she should seek immediate mental care.

Who do Rwandan parliamentarians represent – their own local constituencies, women, civil society, or Rwandan citizens at large?
What type of bipartisanship, pluralistic and tolerant culture is the Rwandan parliament building – if any?
Which parliamentary committee is genuinely led by the opposition – including those aspects assigned to the opposition in accordance with Commonwealth practices which Rwanda supposedly adheres to due to its membership of this grouping?
What progressive laws, comparatively, has Rwandan parliament passed in favor of women – laws that, for example, have far-reaching impact than in neighboring countries whose parliaments have fewer female legislators?
Who controls whom in Rwanda – does parliament oversee the operations of the executive branch or is it the reverse?

The answer to each of these questions, for all intents and purposes, confirms the near-total dominance of the executive over other branches of government in Rwanda, especially the subservient Rwandan parliament.

THE REALITY:

Rwandan parliament, its women majority notwithstanding, is a toothless rubber stamp of the one-man iron-fist rule. This is the very same parliament that shockingly gave President Paul Kagame an ovation in 2010 when he violently stated that he would kill a fly with a hammer referring to exiled former Rwandan army chief of staff and former intelligence chief. Where else but in Kagame’s Rwanda would a head of state openly talk of killing people right inside the very assembly that makes laws against such behavior – and instead receive a prolonged applause and enthusiastic response! Among those cheering-on the Rwandan ruler was the 56% female majority and the female speaker of the lower chamber of the Rwandan parliament, Rose Mukantabana, who was little known when she mysteriously acquired the post in 2008, remains undistinguished in 2013.

The current President of the Rwandan Senate, Jean Damascene Ntawukuriryayo, best illustrates the wretchedness of Rwandan politics. This man has held various ministerial portfolios in the Kagame-led government, including higher education, infrastructure, and health before transiting to parliament as one of its vice presidents. Ntawukuriryayo was one of the few politicians allowed to run against the incumbent Paul Kagame on an essentially same political platform in both the presidential elections of 2003 and 2010. This is why Ntawukiriryayo earned the nickname “the stooge.” The incumbent won the elections by a shocking 93% in 2010 while the stooge came second with 5%. Ntawukuriryayo hastened to congratulate Paul Kagame. President Kagame returned the stooge’s favor by nominating him to the Rwandan Senate where he was soon crowned its president. Guess what!? Under the strange Rwandan Constitution, this unelected stooge would be the ruler of Rwanda, were the incumbent to become incapacitated. Hallelujah, Amen! Meanwhile the former President of the Senate, Vincent Biruta, has been recycled back into the Kagame cabinet, as Minister of Education.

For inspiration in female parliamentary leadership, look across the border – the Republic of Uganda – where women form a mere 31% in parliament. Led by Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga, Ugandan parliament continues to challenge and change the political status quo since Kadaga made history by becoming the first female speaker in May 2011.

Kadaga’s long public service as a member of parliament, minister, deputy speaker and now speaker gives her considerable exposure and experience at both the national and international spheres. Kadaga’s strength radiates primarily from the very constituency whose lives she is determined to improve – Ugandan women.

Kadaga does not blindly obey the orders of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni – on the contrary she stands up to the Ugandan ruler in defence of parliamentary responsibilities, even though she is a member of the president’s ruling party, the NRM. Speaker Kadaga’s insistency to preserving neutrality in moderating debates between her own party and the opposition is becoming legendary – and a continuous irritation to the ruling elite. And as is widely reported, Kadage has a formidable informal committee of advisers, including sector experts, lawyers, media professionals, MPs, influential religious leaders, and cultural leaders, whom she regularly consults – which provides the Speaker with a knowledge-base that enables her to withstand executive power plays.

No equivalency of a Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga exists in the so-called female-majority Rwandan parliament. What you have in Rwanda instead is yet another PR-inspired fake branding shamelessly masqueraded as “women empowerment.” A Kagada would simply not happen in Rwanda whereby the Constitution makes the head of state quite literally a monarch who determines almost every career and livelihood in public service on the basis of obsequiousness, as laughably illustrated by the case of the President of the Rwandan Senate.

President Paul Kagame personally launched the “the National Information Communication Infrastructure (NICI) Plan” in 2000, which aimed to transform Rwanda into a knowledge based-economy by the year 2020. Phase 1 of NICI (2000-2005) was to create the enabling environment for building a knowledge economy; Phase 2 (2006-2011) was to build the required IT infrastructure and human capital base; in Phase 3 (2012-2016) IT-based services and products would begin to enter the global market place; Phase 4 (2016-2020) would see Rwanda cruising towards becoming a knowledge-based economy with a middle-income status of US$900 GDP per capita – a figure later increased to US$1,200 GDP per capita.

ILLUSION 4:

Our naïve guest nearing her hotel in downtown Kigali had learnt with great admiration of President Kagame’s tireless efforts in transforming Rwanda into a knowledge-based economy. She has over the years followed with great interest the extensive coverage the Rwandan president receives in global media, not least about the many deserving awards he regularly wins for his remarkable efforts. Now to be in Kigali, in the land of a great African IT head of state was so exciting.

She remembered especially how a leading American journal, Fortune, described the Rwandan President when back in 2007 he had lunch with senior Google executives including CEO Eric Schmidt at the company’s campus in Mountain View in California. That is when the Internet giant announced its plans to make available to Rwanda free of charge its Google Apps-web-based applications – something that would change the face of Rwanda in such critical areas as training staff server-maintenance, in buying PC-based software and in developing and maintaining e-mail systems. Who indeed would not be impressed that a country generally known for violence had already by 2007 achieved such an amazing feat – not only computers but also broadband connections previously unheard of in this part of the world.

REALITY:

Unknown to the gullible visitor, most of this was propaganda hot air. In fact Google never set foot in Rwanda – it went to neighboring Kenya instead. For one thing, a Google server/station would probably need some 50 megawatts of electricity which would have plunged Rwanda into darkness as that was the equivalent to total installed power in the country at the time. Worse still, there were hardly any broadband connections in 2007 – In fact, while President Kagame was having a photo opportunity with Google executives, behind the scenes he was busy sacking Terracom, which was supposedly building “the fastest communications backbone in Africa.”

Here is the Rwandan IT reality and the key stages/outcomes in the implementation of President Kagame’s infamous NICI since he launched it 13 years ago.

2000 – NICI Plan launched; Rwanda Information Technology Authority (RITA) later becomes the implementing agency, located directly in President Kagame’s office;
2003 – New NICI Plan driver installed; this is Sam Nkusi, minister of communications supported by Sem Ochuodho as head of RITA – Nkusi is sacked in 2004;
2004 – Preparations for building IT infrastructure begin; Greg Wyler buys Rwandatel with the goal of using it as a backbone to create Africa’s fastest broadband connections, including the infrastructure on the top of Mt Kalisimbi – Greg Wyler is sacked in 2007 when he tries to team up with ‘the father of telecommunications in Africa’ Miko Rwayitare;
2004 – New NICI Plan driver installed; this is Albert Butare, the new minister in charge of communications – RITA’s Ochuodho sacked in 2006;
2006 – Rwanda’s IT Park for creating IT entrepreneurs, start-ups, IT-bases services and products is established at Telecom House supervised by RITA and Minister in-charge of communications;
2006 – President Paul Kagame begins his global campaign to drum support for his transformation agenda towards knowledge-based economy – wins first award for best head of state in Africa in support of ICT – again in 2007 and after; many awards follow;
2007 – New NICI Plan driver installed as Minister Butare is purged of the communications portfolio for ‘poor performance’ – Romain Murenzi becomes the Minister of IT in Office of the President and David Kanamugire as his Permanent Secretary; Nkubito Bakuramutsa becomes head of RITA;
2007 – Rwandatel, after being re-nationalized after the Greg Wyler disaster, is now sold to the Libyans. The determining fact is not IT but to make more cash for building IT infrastructure;
2007 – Korea Telcom begins to build a 2,300 kilometer fiber-optic cable and Kigali Wireless Broadband;
2009 – New NICI Plan driver installed; Romain Murenzi crashes out and resigns – Ignace Gatare becomes the Minister of IT in Office of the President, with David Kanamugire his PS;
2009 – RITA scrapped as a free standing agency; it is incorporated into the Rwanda Development Board – Nkubito Bakuramutsa sacked and replaced by Patrick Nyirishema;
2011 – The Kagame government announces that it is looking for a private operator to manage the completed IT infrastructure worthy over US$100million;
2011 – Rwandatel collapses and is liquidated to pay back debts worth US$89 million;
2012 – Rwandatel’s masks are purchased by Airtel;
2012 – The post of Minister in the Office of the President in-charge of IT is scrapped – Ignace Gatare reduced from minister to Director General of Science and Technology Commission; strangely, IT is at the same time transferred to Ministry of Youth, and Information, Communication and Technology headed by Minister Jean Philbert Nsengimana;
2013 – Remains of Rwandatel , namely its copper wire and fibre as well as customer base are purchased by Liquid Telcom, whose representative in Rwanda is no other than Sam Nkusi;
2013 – RDB announces that the ICT Park at Telecom House “was really a small level pilot” and that the real ICT city will soon be built at the Kigali Special Economic Zone.

According to NICI plan, Rwanda should right now be exporting IT-based services and products. The then RITA’s head, Sem Ochuodho had claimed in 2006 that “By the time the NICI program concludes, we hope to be able to export software and systems worth $50-100 million every year.”

What sort of export software, systems, or outsourced work then is presently being performed in Rwanda after 13 years of implementing President Kagame’s NICI Plan? How many IT entrepreneurs or start-ups have emerged and distinguished themselves in the domestic or foreign markets? Zero! Zilch! Nothing beyond your routine sim-card selling and internet-surfing services led by RPF’s own MTN Rwanda which continues to thrive, while Rwandatel was sold, re-owned and sold again to provide funds for implementing the juvenile NICI Plan.

Now folks, if you wish to cry for your country, read what the current Rwandan officials in charge of IT are telling you with regards to where the 13 years of NICI Plan have taken Rwanda.

What you read on the RDB website confirms one’s worst fears of who is running Rwanda.

Here are the highlights of what they are saying:

“Information and Communication Technology is a central engine to driving Rwanda’s transformation to a knowledge based economy”;
Rwanda is “acknowledged by allocating a budget to ICT – as a percentage of its GDP – that is at par with OECD countries.”
“Rwanda continues to be one of the fastest growing African countries in ICT;”
Rwanda’s ICT Competitive advantage includes “cheap labor compared to other countries in the Region”, “low levels of corruption – Zero tolerance” and “strong & visionary leadership;”
Total IT infrastructure investment so far is “US$ 150million.”

Surely assure me that these are not April Fools’ Day sick jokes. How can IT possibly be “the central engine” in the current IT shambles in Rwanda? How can “cheap labour” be a competitive advantage in IT? What has “strong” leadership or “zero tolerance for corruption” have to do with IT? And with a mere US$150million IT infrastructure assets, how can Rwanda possibly belong to the same league as OECD countries – do the people running RDB even understand the term ‘OECD’? I doubt President Kagame’s planners – whom he changes like underwear – have even visited their own East African neighborhood, let alone OECD countries. Let them visit Kenya which is currently building ‘Silicon Savannah’ as a regional hub for the next generation of digital industry leaders.

Nairobi is already a hub in its own right – hosting the biggest brands in the world of technology, including Google, Intel, and Microsoft and doing thriving business in millions of dollars. These global players join local actors, not least Safaricom and its innovative invention of M-Pesa to take advantage of the existing hi-tech entrepreneurs and venture capitalists ready to become part of Konza Technology City, soon to be the home of Silicon Savannah some 60 outside Nairobi. And while Kagame’s Rwanda talks of US$150million IT development, Konza will swallow no less than US$14.5 billion-worth of infrastructure.

Perhaps the biggest insult to Rwandans by Kagame officials is the lie that the IT Park at Telecom House implemented since 2006 “was really a small level pilot” and that the real thing is about to happen in the Kigali Special Economic Zone.”

Where in the world did you ever hear of a seven-year IT pilot project “which would give us an idea of how an ICT city would be”? The arrogant infant abusing our intelligence by feeding us such trash is not aware that great IT companies started in garages, including Amazon, Apple, and Hewlett-Packard. Somebody tell this would-be public servant that it is the brainpower and innovation, stupid – not space!

Our gullible visitor has over the years swallowed the idea that Rwanda is zero-tolerant for corruption.

ILLUSION 5:

That is because every year you see screaming around the world such headlines as “Rwanda is the least corrupt state in the East African Community.” Rwanda’s Public Procurement Law is also said to be the most stringent in Africa. Passed in 2007, this law enforces transparency, competition, and fairness in tendering and procurement processes, making conflict of interest nearly impossible in Rwanda.

REALITY:

Paul Kagame plays three dominant roles that render him quite literally the ‘owner’ of Rwanda thereby making the conception of “conflict of interest” a sick joke:

He is President of the Republic of Rwanda.
He is the Chairman of RPF, the ruling party and in this capacity, the boss of RPF’s business empire; in other words,
He is the real Chairman of RPF’s Crystal Ventures Ltd, the conglomerate that dominates almost all aspects of Rwandan economy.

This is how Crystal Ventures limited describes itself:

“Crystal Ventures Ltd (CVL) is an investment company established in 2009 and it acquired most of the assets of another local investment company which was founded in 1995.”

“The company is wholly owned by Rwandan business people who pooled resources together to meet challenges of economic recovery and take advantage of growth opportunities in a virgin environment.”

“Having made a few good investments especially in telecoms, the company earned decent returns that were reinvested to create what is now the biggest investment company in the country.”

“In the beginning the company enjoyed monopoly power in some of its businesses but over time this has diminished.”

“The sectors currently invested in include civil works and concrete products, construction and real estate development, telecommunications, agricultural value addition, aviation charter services, security services, printing and publishing, furniture trading and manufacturing, building materials, media systems, property management and engineering services and diversified investment groups.”

“CVL employs over 7,000 people of whom over 4,800 are permanent employees.”

But here is the bombshell. President Kagame’s three roles have merged to such outrageous extent that conflict of interest in Rwanda has lost any meaning – conflict of interest in now ‘normal.’ It is therefore no surprise that Crystal Ventures’ wealth mainly comes from Rwandan taxpayers’ money entrusted to Paul Kagame as the President of Rwanda. In other words, Paul Kagame, the corporate giant, makes of almost all his money from Paul Kagame, the President of Rwanda.

These are a few examples that have made the Rwandan President laugh all the way to the bank:

ILLUSION 5: Rwanda is zero-tolerant for corruption

CENTRAL BANK OF RWANDA: Crystal Ventures Ltd is renovating the Central Bank of Rwanda – a government entity;
NATIONAL STADIUM IN HUYE DISTRICT: Crystal Ventures Ltd has been sub-contracted to build the National Stadium in Huye, Southern Province;
KIGALI CAPITAL CITY STREET LIGHTING: Crystal Ventures Ltd was contracted by the Kigali City Council to install street lights in the Rwandan Capital City;
KIGALI-RUBAVU HIGHWAY LIGHTING: Crystal Ventures Ltd is installing Kigali-Rubavu highway lighting under ‘rural electrification’ program;
BANK OF KIGALI MUHANGA BUILDING: Crystal Ventures Ltd built a five-storey Bank of Kigali building – Bank of Kigali is government-owned; http://www.realcontractorsltd.com/
AVIATION CHARTER SERVICES: Crystal Ventures’ executive jets are chartered by the Rwanda government to shuttle President Kagame around the globe.

A key question to ask is this: How does the Rwandan Treasury approve and get away with such expenditures that shockingly contradict every norm and practice of ending the cancer of conflict of interest?

That is easy to answer!

The famously women-dominated parliament is dead. And the Rwandan treasurer and the accounting officer/Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Ms Kampeta Sayinzoga, is a scandalous conflict of interest herself – she is the wife of President Paul Kagame’s nephew Byusa, who doubles as the President’s business partner. It is all in the family.

Folks, such acts would, anywhere else in the world, make a government fall.

Dr David Himbara was the Principal Private Secretary to President Paul Kagame in 2000-2002 and 2009. He was the founding chairperson of the Strategy and Policy Unit (SPU), the founding chairperson of Rwanda Development Board (RDB) and the founding chairperson of the Institute for Policy Analysis and Research (IPAR). A Rwandan-Canadian, David Himbara is an independent reform strategist and an Adjunct Professor at the University of the Witswaterand, South Africa which he has been associated with on-and-off since 1994. Himbara left Rwanda and returned to South Africa in January 2010.

Mu Rwanda abantu batangajwe no kumva iryo jambo ndetse abafite uburere bukeya batangira gutuka Perezida wa Tanzania nk’aho aciye inka amabere! Cyakora Umunyamabanga mukuru w’umuryango w’abibumbye Ban Ki-moon we yashimye icyo gitekerezo ndetse atangaza ko azatumira inama muri Nzeri uyu mwaka kugira ngo icyo gitekerezo kinozwe neza. Umuryango SADC w’ibihugu byo muri Afurika y’amajyepfo nawo washyigikiye iki gitekerezo cy’uko FDLR yashyikirana n’u Rwanda na ADL igashyikirana na Uganda.

Mu ntangiriro za Kamena Abakirisitu bo mu bihugu binyuranye bakoze isengesho ry’iminsi 9 ryitwa “Neuvaine” ryo gusabira Abihayimana bishwe na FPR Inkotanyi I Gakurazo mu cyahoze ari Perefegitura ya Gitarama. Basabye Musenyeri Mbonyintege Simaragde kubafasha mu isengesho na we akabavugira agasengesho gatoya, cyane cyane ko mu bahaguye harimo Abasenyeri batatu ba Kiliziya Gatulika kandi muri iki gihe Simaragde akaba ari Perezida w’inama y’Abepiskopi mu Rwanda. Musenyeri aho kuvuga ko wenda bamutunguye cyangwa se ko afite imirimo myinshi yagize atya arihanukira ati: “Abanzi barabizi , simvanga amasengesho na Politiki”! Twese tugwa mu kantu. Kuvugira isengesho abapfuye se bijemo politiki gute? Cyakora nyine abamuzi bavuga ko uyu Musenyeri ukunze kugaragara mu kuvuga amasengesho mu bikorwa byateguwe na FPR ashobora koko kuba yaragize ubwoba bwo gusabira abishwe nayo! Mu by’ukuri iyo ubabajwe n’abishwe mu yandi amagambo uba wamaganye ababishe. Musenyeri Mbonyintege rero rwose niba yaragize ubwoba, niba se yarabigize nkana yabuze intege zo gukora umurimo w’ibanze wa gisaseridoti wo guhuza Imana n’abayo. Kugira ngo atange igisobanuro yakekaga ko cyakwakirwa neza abyita politiki kandi atwumvisha ko umuntu nka Musenyeri atakora politiki. Nyamara byagaragaye ko Musenyeri Ntihinyurwa we yemera gusabira izo nzirakarengane zatsembwe na FPR. Ndetse we niyatinye no gutanga ikiganiro kuri ubwo bwicanyi.

Icyakurikiye ibyo ni urujijo hagati y’Abanyarwanda cyane cyane Abakirisitu Gatolika. Bamwe bibazaga niba uwo bafataho urugero rwiza ari Musenyeri Mbonyintege cg se Musenyeri Ntihinyurwa.

3. Inama mpuzamahanga ku Rwanda

Mu Bwongereza ahitwa Brighton hateraniye inama yari yatumiwemo Abanyamashyaka ya politiki na Leta y’u Rwanda hamwe n’abahagarariye amashyirahamwe atandukanye aharanira uburenganzira bwa muntu. Ibyavuye muri iyo nama bigaragaza ko Abanyarwanda bakeneye kuganira kenshi kugira ngo babone umurongo ngenderwaho ufatika wo guhangana n’ibibazo biri mu Rwanda. N’ubwo Leta ya Kigali itohereje uyihagarariye bamwe mu bari mu nama berekanye ko hari ibyo bashima iyo Leta yagejeje ku Rwanda. Byaba byiza ubutaha iyo Leta nayo igiye yohereza umuntu akaza akayihagararira.

4. Rukokoma yimwe viza yo kujya mu Rwanda Semushi agenda wenyine.

Ikindi cyari kitezwe muri Kamena ni itahuka mu Rwanda rya Twagiramungu Faustin uzwi ku kazina ka Rukokoma akaba na perezida w’ishyaka RDI-Rwanda Rwiza, yari gufatanya urugenda na Karangwa Semushi Visi Perezida wa PDP –Imanzi. Abo bagabo bari bateguje ko bazajya I Kigali guhangana na FPR mu gihugu imbere, bakaba baragombaga kugerayo kuwa 21 Kamena. Uko babivugaga wagiraga ngo bamaze kubona ibisabwa byose. Nyamara siko byaje kugenda kuko ku munota wa nyuma Twagiramungu Faustin yaje kwemera ko burya bwose atigeze ahabwa visa kandi ko nta n’ubundi buryo yari yabonye bwo kugera mu Rwanda kuri iriya taliki. Ibi byatumye abantu bibaza byinshi kubyo Abanyapolitiki basezeranya ababafitiye icyizere. Karangwa Semushi nawe kuva yagera mu Rwanda nta wigeze amenya uko amerewe!

Na none mu kwima Rukokoma viza yasabaga , Leta ya kagame yerekanye ko bya bindi bavuga ngo abantu nibatahe biba bitavuye ku mutima, biba ari urwiyerurutso ngo amahanga abarebe neza !

5. Condo Gervais yiswe Kanyarengwe mushya

Mu kiganiro cyahise kuri Radio Ijwi rya Rubanda y’umugabo witwa Simeon Musengimana, kuwa gatandatu taliki ya 22 Kamena, Condo Gervais umwe mu Bayobozi ba RNC Ihuriro Nyarwanda yahaswe ibibazo ku mpamvu ngo ameze nk’uhishira ubwicanyi bwa Nyamwasa na bagenzi be aho kubareka ngo bivugire ku bibazo Abanyarwanda batari bake babibazaho. Condo usanzwe adatinya kuganira yasobanuye ko atavugira ba Nyamwasa, cyakora asobanura uko abona ikibazo cy’Abantu b’abasiviri bishwe mu ntambara z’Abacengezi mu majyaruguru y’igihugu kandi bishwe n’Ingabo zari ziyobowe na Nyamwasa. We ngo asanga kwica abo basivili byari ngombwa cyane mu rwego rwa “stratégie militaire”! Ngo ntiwatsinda intambara utishe abaturage bacumbikira umwanzi bakamuha n’ibyo kurya ! Mu gushinja Nyamwasa ibi, Abanyarwanda benshi bashingira ku ijambo yavugiye kuri imwe mu ma radio mpuzamahanga avuga ko we iyo yamanutse aba adashaka gufata imfungwa, ahubwo ko arasira kwica; ngo azarasa abanyaruhengeri na Gisenyi kugeza igihe bataye itama ryo kurwana! Abantu 90% babajije ibibazo wasangaga bameze nk’ababurira Condo ko RNC izamukoresha nk’uko FPR yakoresheje Kanyarengwe. Hari n’abavuze ko, mu kurimbura abasivile benshi mu cyiswe intambara y’Abacengezi, FPR yari ifite umugambi wihishe wo kugabanya umubare w’Abahutu kandi ko ba Nyamwasa bari mu bateguraga iyo migambi, none ubu bakaba ntacyo batangariza Abanyarwanda.

Icyagaragaye muri iki kiganiro ni uko hari urwikwekwe rwinshi mu Banyarwanda, kandi koko ngo iyagukanze ntijya iba inturo. Bamwe basanga RNC iramutse igeze ku butegetsi ishobora gushyiraho amategeko akingira ikibaba Nyamwasa na bagenzi be kimwe n’abandi bicanyi bose maze Abahutu batigeze babona ubutabera mu myaka 20 ishize bakibagirana. N’ubwo bigoye kumenya Umuhutu ngo umutandukanye n’Umututsi ugendeye ku majwi, abakurikiye ikiganiro babashije kumva ko Abahutu bafite ikibazo kinini cyo kumva bararyamiwe. Hari abanyoherereje ubutumwa bagira bati reba nawe kuva muri 1994, Umuhutu ahigishwa uruhindu ngo ni umwicanyi nta présomption d’innocence ibaho ku Bahutu, bati nyamara Umututsi nka Nyamwasa wamaze abantu akabyigamba abantu b’Abanyabwenge nka Condo bari kumwiruka inyuma bavuga ko akwiye présomption d’innocence. Bongeraho ko babona Umuhutu yemerewe présomption de culpabilité naho Umututsi akagira présomption d’innocence ibi bagasanga bikwiye gucika.

Abandi basanga Nyamwasa ari umuntu ufitiye opposition nyarwanda akamaro ko aramutse afashije guhirika FPR na Kagame nta kibazo cyaba kikiriho. Mu kiganiro cyahise kuri Radio Itahuka ya RNC kuwa kabiri taliki ya 25 Kamena, nabo 90% bahamagaye bashima Condo kuri bo ugaragara nk’umuhuru modéré: Bamushimiye ko agira ikinyabupfura ndetse bikoma cyane Simeon babona nk’Umuhutu w’intagondwa ngo kuko yatinyutse guhangara umu general nka Nyamwasa bo bemera. Hari ndetse bamwe bagaragaje ko babona Simeon ngo akorera FPR akaba afite gahunda yo gutinza ukwibohoza Abanyarwanda bari hafi kugeraho. Gusa abazi Simeon bemeza ko adakorana na FPR, kuko kuri we FPR ari “un movement criminal” ikwiye guseswa.

Ikiganiro cyateguwe na Simeon cyatumye ntekereza ko mu gihe Abanyarwanda basonzeye ubuyobozi butarangwamo abantu bafite ibiganza bijejeta amaraso, ari ngombwa ko habaho ingamba zo kuganira ku bibazo by’Abantu bakekwaho ibyaha nyamara bakaba bagaragaza ubushake bwo gufatanya n’abandi kubaka igihugu gishya. Kuri iki kibazo Ishyaka Ishema ryagize icyo riteganya: Ingingo ya kabiri y’imigambi yihutirwa y’ishyaka Ishema mu gika cya e) igira iti: “Hazategurwa Ibiganiro bihuza Abanyarwanda b’ingeri zose ku byerekeye IMBABAZI ZIDASANZWE cyangwa IBIHANO BYOROHEJE bishobora guhabwa abakoze ibyaha bikomeye, bakaba babyemera, babisabira imbabazi kandi bakaba biteguye gutanga umuganda wabo mu kubaka igihugu gishya”. Uyu niwo muti w’ikibazo.

6. U Rwanda ku rutonde rw’ibihugu umutekano ugenda ugabanuka.

Mu cyegeranyo cya Global Peace Index(GPI) cyashyizwe ahagaragara muri uyu mwaka wa 2013, u Rwanda rugaragara mu bihugu bigenda bigaragaramo umutekano mukeya ku isi. Icyegeranyo cyerekana ko ku bihugu 162 byakozweho ubushakashatsi, u Rwanda ari urwa 135. Mu karere ka Afurika y’uburasirazuba, Uganda iza ku mwanya wa 106, Kenya izaza kuwa 136 naho Tanzania ikaba ku mwanya wa 55, mu gihe Uburundi ari ubwa 144. Mu gihe ibihugu bya Georgia, Tchad na Haiti bigenda bitera imbere mu mutekano, Syria, Lybia n’u Rwanda byo biri ku rutonde rw’ibihugu umutekano ugenda urushaho kuba mukeya.

7. Ishyaka DGPR ryemerewe gukora Kongre ya mbere

Nyuma y’imyaka ine yose ishyaka The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda(DGPR) risaba kwemererwa gukora kongre yo kuritangiza ku mugaragaro noneho muri uku kwezi ryashoboye kubona uruhushya. N’ubwo bwose iri shyaka rigeze ku ntambwe ya mbere ikomeye, ugukererezwa kwaryo kubonwa na bamwe nka wa muntu uguca amaguru yarangiza akaguha imbago ngo ngaho akugiriye neza. Ese wamushimira ko yabaye umugiraneza akaguha imbago cyangwa wamushimira ko yaguciye amaguru?

8. FPR mu mugambi wo gushimangira ipfunnwe mu Bahutu

Ku itariki ya 30 Kamena perezida Kagame yaganirije urubyiruko rwari ruturutse mu gihugu cyose mu biganiro byerekeye amateka. Icyagaragaye kimwe no mu zindi gahunda za FPR, ni uko amateka avugwa igice cyane cyane hagamijwe kwerekana ko Abahutu aribo bonyine bazaniye u Rwanda umuvumo bityo bakaba bakwiye gusaba imbabazi.

Ubwabyo gusaba imbabazi si ikibazo kuko uwakoze icyaha yagombye kuzisaba kandi akagira umutima wicuza. Ikibazo kibaho iyo umukuru w’igihugu yumvisha abantu ko n’abatarakoze ibyaha bagomba gusaba imbabazi ngo kuko ababikoze bakoresheje izina( ubwoko). Kugira ngo bamushimishe, abasore benshi barahagurutse baritotomba ngo bene wabo b’Abahutu bakoze nabi ! Mbese kwishora muri jenoside byagizwe icyaha rusange ntikikiri icyaha gatozi.

Ikindi cyatangaje ni uko nta muntu n’umwe wo mu bwoko bw’Abatutsi wigeze asaba imbabazi ko yaba yarakoze nabi. Tuzi benshi mu Bahutu barenganyijwe haba mu gihe cy’intambara cyangwa se mu gihe cya gacaca. Muri urwo rubyiruko rwasabaga imbabazi harimo abana benshi barokokeye mu makambi y’impunzi, abarokotse agafuni ka FPR i Kisangani… abo bose nta n’umwe uhabwa agaciro ngo nibura hagire n’umusaba imbabazi.

Ngo ahubwo kuri we u Rwanda rwarengeje ibipimo by’urubuga rwa politki ngo kuko “rwemera kubana n’abarwishe”! Kagame yongeye no kugaruka kubo yise abavugira Interahamwe na FDLR ngo n’ibigarasha bakorana, ngo ubutumwa abaha ni uko hari umurongo ntarengwa. Gahunda nk’izi za FPR zirarushaho gutera urwikekwe mu Banyarwanda cyane cyane abo mu bwoko bw’Abahutu kandi bishobora kuzagira ingaruka zitari nziza mu gihe kizaza.
