                     Ambasaderi Masozera mu Bubiligi akoresha abicanyi ruharwa!!

Basomyi b'urubuga DHR, reka mbabwire uko nzi Mutabazi Jules: Mutabazi Jules niwe maneko mukuru muri ambasade y'u Rwanda i Buruseli. Izina rye nyakuri ni Joseph UWAMUNGU alias Rutwe.
 
Mu gisirikare aho yageze muri 1991, ukora mw'ishami rishinzwe iperereza DMI, aho wamenyaniye n'umwicanyi ruharwa Jacques Nziza. Icyo gihe uwo Nziza yakoreraga Gisoro muri Uganda, kuko ibikorwa byo kurugamba uwo munyabwoba yabitinyaga. Icyakuranze cyambere kwabaye kwica abana 16 bavuye mu Rwanda bari baje kwifatanya na bagenzi babo kugira ngo babohoze urwababyaye.  
 
Ntimwagarukiye aho: wowe na sous-lieutenant Gakwaya, hamwe na soldat Kazungu Jean-Paul waje kwiyita Gustave (ubarizwa muri taxi i Buruseli), muhagarikiwe n'undi mwicanyi ruharwa  Dani Munyuza, mwabohoje abagore b'Abahutukazi i Giti na Murambi muri Byumba, mubakoresha igihe kinini imirimo y'uburetwa igeretseho no kubasambanya, murangije mubica urw'agashinyaguro mubarasa mu maguru; ibyo mwabikoze musiganwa no gusibanganya ibimenyetso by'ubugome igihe mwari mwimuriwe mu rindi bagiro rya Gabiro (ahajwe kwitwa Gologota), aho mwashinzwe kwica abana bakomoka mu Rwanda mwicaga mukabajugunya mu rwobo rw'umuriro. Ubwo bugome wabukomereje mu Rwanda Leta igifatwa, igihe wari umuyobozi wa Komine uvukamo muri Butare: wahafungiye Abahutu muri container bicwa n'inzara, inyota no kubura umwuka. 
 
Ibyo kandi bisa n'ibyo Kazungu yakoreye i Masaka, ahari igaraji rya gisirikare rya DMI: nawe yafungiye mw'ikamyo abasirikare bari bambuye MINUAR Abahutu yari yarakuye i Kabuga na Rwamagana, aho yari azi Abahutu benshi, dore ko ariho yari yarize amashuri yisumbuye. Muri abo bantu hari higanjemo abacuruzi n'abarimu. Abo bantu bamaze gushyirwa muri karisori itagagiraga ubuhumekero, na bo byabaviriyemo gupfa. Ibyo byose mwakoze byari bihagarikiwe n'umwicanyi Dani Munyuza, waherekeje iyo camion akayigeza Gologota hari hayobowe na serija-majoro Jeanne Nakiburi.
 
Niko Mutabazi alias Rutwe,
Uribuka ko nyuma y'ibyo byose witabajwe n'umwicanyi ruharwa Jack Nziza kugira ngo umwicire escort we. Uwo escort yaziraga gusambanya  umugore we Titi. Kandi uwo Titi Jack Nziza yari yaramwambuye uwo mu escort. Ariko rero kubera ko Jack Nziza yabaga ahugiye mu bwicanyi akibagirwa kubaka urugo, uwo Titi yari yarakomeje umubano n'uwo mu escort.
 
Umaze kumwivugana, inzego z'iperereza za perezidansi ya rebubulika zahagurukiye icyo kibazo cy'ubwicanyi bwawe, perezida Bizimungu Pasiteri asaba ko ufatwa. Ariko kubera ko wari ushyigikiwe n'igikomereza cy'umwicanyi Jack Nziza, yahise yemeza ko ayo makuru ahimbwa na Kabera Asieli wari umujyanama muri perezidansi. Nziza yahise ategeka ko Kabera yicwa, bishyirwa mu bikorwa nawe Mutabazi (UWAMUNGU Joseph) na RUKIMBIRA Norbert n'uwitwa KIBANDA, munafatanije na KAZUNGU wari ushinzwe kuyobya uburari bw'iperereza, afatanije na Dani MUNYUZA.

Agamije kukugoboka, umwicanyi ruharwa Jack Nziza yagufashije guhungira mu Budage, ari naho baje kukuroba bimaze guhosha, bakugabira imirimo y’ubutasi muri ambasade i Buruseli, aho washinzwe by'umwihariko gusebya no gucamo ibice abagize opozisiyo, ukoresheje ikinyoma, tutibagiwe n'ubundi bugome, nka twa tuzi (uburozi) kubakunaniye. Ibyo bikorwa byose bikaba bibera ahanini i Buruseli ku kabari kitwa Archipel, n'ahitwa ku Murindi, ku murozi mukuru RWAMBONERA.
 
Rutwe,
Akazi karakunaniye, cyane cyane ko Rwanda House wayimuriye muri ubwo bubari, aho muhurira n'abakeneye ibyangombwa. Abagabo bagutugira amafaranga, abagore ukabahatira kuryamana nawe, bityo ukabaminjiramo sida yakuzonze.

Abakuzi cyane mu bikorwa byawe bya buri munsi bemeza ko umugore yagutaye kubera ihabara ryawe ryitwa Lisette. N'akazi kakaba karakunaniye, ari nayo mpamvu bagukuyeho icyizere, imirimo wari ushinzwe yo guperereza ikaba yarongeye guhabwa BWITARE Eulade wari warayisezereweho. 
 
Amakuru aturuka ahantu hizewe yemeza ko ucyuye igihe, ibaruwa igusezerera iri mu nzira. Kandi n'umwicanyi ruharwa Jack Nziza waguhagararagaho, kubera ko wamukijije escort wamusambanyirizaga umugore, bikaba byaratumye munaba abasanzire (dore ko yagushyingiye mukuru w'umugore we kugira ngo ibanga ry'ubwicanyi musangiye ribagume hagati), nta cyo agishoboye kukumarira, kuko ntacyo ugishoboye uretse ubusambanyi n'ubusinzi., ari naho hakuviriyemo irindi zina wiswe n'intore ngenzi zawe: KACOKA, bivuze umuntu wananiwe, wabaye igisenzegeri.
 
Rutwe,
Isubireho kuko utazarenga hano ngo usubire i Rwanda ahatarangwa imiti nk'iyo ubona ino. Kwisubiraho byazagufasha kubaho utihishahisha. Bitabaye ibyo, uzishyira mu buroko ubwawe.

Paul Rusesabagina wrote to Tony Blair

Dear Mr. Blair,

For many years I have been thankful that you have been interested in my beloved Rwanda.  My name is Paul Rusesabagina. You might know my story from the movie Hotel Rwanda, or from my autobiography, An Ordinary Man.

During the 1994 Genocide I tried by every means to reach the outside world and to ask them to help rescue my countrymen from the Hell that we were living in. I could not get any one to listen then. I was very happy that you have been taking an interest in my country now.

However, I hope that you can see what is going on in Rwanda with a clear vision.  I am afraid that you, like many others outside of Africa, have been shown only one side of our country, a kind of African Potemkin Village.

I believe that you do care about Rwanda. But, I also think that you need to see more of the real Rwanda.  A few years ago, my foundation, the Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation, issued a paper about the Rwandan economy. The paper chronicled the growing gap between Rwandans living in the City and those living in the countryside. Since we authored this paper, things have gotten worse, not better.

We also investigated the healthcare system in Rwanda and issued a briefing paper this summer which I am attaching to this letter.  The report shows that the quality of healthcare services for the elite in Kigali is vastly superior to the level of healthcare that is available to people living in the rural areas. While I applaud the efforts of the Gates Foundation and the Clinton Foundation to increase health care facilities in the countryside, the problem is systemic.

This summer the international community has finally opened its eyes about President Kagame’s activities in the Congo.  The UN Group of Expert’s reports have shown that Rwanda is clearly behind the crimes of M23.

Conflict Minerals looted in the DRC and paid for with the lives of millions of innocent Congolese men, women and even children fuel President Kagame’s jets.  The price that has been paid to carry you and President Kagame around on these planes is too high. There is blood on the wings of those planes.

In 1994, I felt that you, and the rest of the international community, turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to our pleas for help.  As I sheltered the 1,268 people at the Hotel des Milles Collines, I vowed that if we made it out alive, I would never be silent when I saw people being slaughtered.  I cannot be silent today. I cannot stand by and do nothing, say nothing, when I know that President Kagame and his M23 thugs are murdering and looting in the Congo everyday.

Mr. Blair, I call upon you to show the moral leadership that I know you are capable of, and denounce President Kagame and his activities in the Congo.  Call him and ask him to stop these deadly activities. Ask him to stop killing, jailing and exiling the journalists and political leaders in Rwanda. You are one of the few people in the world that he still might listen to, please stop him before more innocent people are slaughtered.

Please do not let your personal friendship with President Kagame stand in the way of your conscience. I know that you did not hear our pleas for help in 1994.  Please listen to them today. You have a special relationship with President Kagame, please use it to save lives. Stop President Kagame.

Peace,

Paul Rusesabagina

RWANDA:Reports of abductions of children in Rwanda are worrying and distressing.


From the Rwandans Rights
Global Campaign for Rwandans’ Human Rights is concern about increasing reports about children and young people as young as 12 years old that are disappearing in Rwanda.
This has been happening for the past two months, particularly in western District of Rubavu. Local parents whose children are missing are concerns that their children might have been forcibly taken in Congo to assist the M23 rebels group. Parents who spoke to us unanimously for safety reasons informed us that on additional to anxiety caused by their children missing they also fearful to go to the Police to report their children missing due to lack of confidence in the authorities willingness to assist and believes that some level of authorities are implicated in their children abductions.
While we were investigating these reports the Congolese government Army showed to the media; members of M23 rebels group that they have captured. Among them included children and young people who confirmed that they were Rwandans and that they have been abducted and brought in Democratic Republic of Congo to assist the rebellion. These children include 12 years old Emmanuel Ntirenganya and 16 years old Claude Rugamba (pictured).


We urge the Rwandan government to do following actions:
- To stop immediately abduction of children from Rwandan streets.
- To liaise with Congolese government in order to ensure quick release of Rwandan children and young people arrested assisting the M23 rebellions.
- To assist parents and relative of children and young people who have missed in their quest to found out where are their children.
- To liaise the M23 rebels group based in Democratic Republic of Congo so that all children and young people assisting them are given the freedom to go back in Rwanda to join their family.
- To ensure parents particularly in the western province that the government will ensure that their children will be risk free from being abducted by rebel groups’ recruiters.

M23 ishaka kwigarurira Kivu. Mwe ntawe muburana ubunyarwanda. Aba-FDLR bagomba kuba iwabo i Rwanda,bakabona uburenganzira nk’ubw’abandi banyarwanda.
 
M23 irwanirira ubunyekongo n’ubunyarwanda. Uwo gushyigikirwa ni nde ? Muzi neza ko FDLR ari umuhutu, M23 ni umututsi. None babashyize mu gatebo kamwe. M23 irimo iritakambira mwebwe muracecetse. Muhaguruke. Igihe ni iki. Ese mwumvise ko hari ibihumbi birenga 70 byaciriwe imanza bidahari? Hahaha!
