19 years after surviving the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis that shook all the pillars of their lives, they are fine just because they have been striving for self reliance.

This was said by genocide survivors in Burera district who say their remaining problem is their children who finish secondary school but fail to get means to get to the universities.

Fabien Niyonsenga the coordinator of IBUKA in Burera district

Fabien Niyonsenga the coordinator of IBUKA in Burera district says for Rwanda to stand against and fight the effects of genocide that was perpetrated against Tutsi in 1994 permanently, it needs to prepare the youth.

Most of the genocide survivors’ youth in this district finish secondary schools and those who fail to get the government pass mark for the scholarship fail to get means for higher education. “We need support for the education of our youth who cannot provide for themselves for them to be able to compete on international job markets with other Rwandans.”

Samuel Sembagare the mayor of Burera district promised the district’s continuous support to survivors of 1994 genocide against Tutsis in any possible way. He asked genocide survivors to be strong while commemorating striving to be self reliant.

Nk’uko bigaragara,kandi bikanavugwa n’abacitse ku icumu  rya jenoside yakorewe abatutsi muri 1994 bo mu karere ka Rulindo, ngo ubuzima buragenda burushaho kugenda neza ugereranije no mu myaka yashize.

Ibi ngo barabivuga kuko basanga mu myaka yashize bari batunzwe no guhabwa imfashanyo,none ngo bakaba batakiri abo gufashwa gusa, ahubwo nabo bageze igihe babasha gufasha abandi bantu bafite ibibazo.

Banavuga ko basanga aho bageze bafite ubushobozi n’ubushake  bwo gufasha igihugu,mu rwego rwo kugendera hamwe mu muvuduko w’iterambere ry’igihugu.

N’ubwo abacitse ku icumu muri aka karere bavuga ko ibibazo bimwe bitabura kubugariza ,ngo muri rusange ubuzima bwabo bumeze neza kandi nabo baratanga umusanzu ukomeye mu kubaka igihugu cyabo.

Ngo ntibagiheranwa n’agahinda baribuka yego ngo ariko baraniyubaka ndi baharanira kurushaho kwigira.

Umuyobozi w’akarere ka Rulindo nawe yemeza ko abacitse ku icumu mu karere ayoboye barimo kugenda biyubaka ku buryo bushimishije.

Aragira ati”Abacitse ku icumu mu karere ka Rulindo,bageze ku rwego rushimishijs ntibakiri abo gufashwa,ahubwo nabo barimobarafasha abandi.Bubakira amazu bagenzi babo,barorozanya,Baratanga umusanzu ugaragara mu iterambere ry’igihugu cyabo.Muri make  barahanira kwigira.”

Aha atanga urugero rw’uko n’uwamugajwe na Jenoside usanga ashaka umurimo ashoboye, agakora bijyanye n’imbaraga ze uko zingana,ngo ariko ntiyicare.

Ku bwe ngo akaba asanga ari kintu gishimishije kuba badaheranwa n’agahinda ahubwo bagahaguruka bakiteza imbere batitaye ku mubabaro baba bafite wo kuba barabuze abantu babo.

Abacitse ku icumu kandi ngo bajya mu mashyirahamwe bagafatanya n’abandi gukora .Ikindi gishimishije ngo ni uko usanga abo babana muri ayo mashyirahamwe harimo ndetse n’ababahemukiye.

Ibi nabyo ngo bigaragaza intera nziza imaze kugerwaho mu bijyanye n’ubumwe n’ubwiyunge nyuma ya jenoside yakorewe abatutsi,abacitse ku icumu bakaba bafata iya mbere mu kubigiramo uruhare.

Abacitse ku icumu bavuga ko ngo n’ubwo bagerageza kwiyubaka no kwigira bagifite imbogamizi ya bagenzi babo bagifite ibibazo by’uburwayi bakuye Jenoside budakira.Aha bakaba bakomeje gusaba ubuyobozi ko bwafasha abo barwayi kuvuzwa ku buryo bw’umwihariko.

In this trying period when Rwandans are commemorating the atrocities committed to them and their loved ones in 1994 genocide against Tutsis, Local Defence security personnel were asked to be more vigil in keeping the people’s security.

The local defences force personnel

 Rwanda has many enemies especially in neighbouring countries who would like to hurt the scars of the Rwandans rub to their faces how hurt they were during the 11994 genocide against the Tutsis.

Local Defences personnel were told this during the security meeting that brought them together with General Charles Karamba the army commander in Rusizi and Nyamasheke district.

He advised the security personnel to improve their working relationships with other security councils in the district as well as doing vigilante patrols.

General Charles Karamba addressing Local Defence Forces

Marcel Habyarimana the vice mayor for fiancé and economic development in Rusizi district asked Local Defence Forces to fulfil their responsibility of maintaining the security of the country especially in this period.

He also asked local defence personnel to be patriotic, to avoid violence in their work citing example of Local Defences’ personnel in Mururu sector who moved away from their responsibilities and were replaced by Inkeragutabara (reserved forces) security.

Though the Local Defence forces are keen on doing well their work of protecting people and their properties, they have limitations in their work especially lack of uniforms, lack of work identification cards and too little their salary as Theogene Habimana explained.

Local Defence personnel were also to keep the security of Genocide Memorial Sites and to work well with sector to ensure people and their properties security. 

Mu ijambo uhagarariye abacitse ku icumu mu Karere ka Huye yagejeje ku bari bitabiriye igikorwa cyo gutangiza icyunamo i Kinazi ho mu Karere ka Huye, yagaragaje ko hari intambwe bamaze gutera mu kwigira, ariko hakaba hari abagikeneye gufashwa kugira ngo babigereho neza.

Jean Pierre Nsabimana, ari we uhagarariye abacitse ku icumu mu Karere ka Huye, yateruye agira ati “Akarere ka Huye karimo abacitse ku icumu bagera ku bihumbi 18. Abenshi muri bo bafashijwe kwiga, abandi babona n’imirimo. Iyi ni intambwe ya mbere yo kwigira twafashijwemo n’ubuyobozi bw’igihugu cyacu.”

Yunzemo agira ati “ariko, kuba haboneka abantu benshi bahahamuka, harimo n’abana batoya bavutse nyuma ya jenoside, iki ni ikibazo tubona gikwiye kwitabwaho, kuko nta watera imbere ahungabana.”

Kuba abangije imitungo muri jenoside batishyura na byo ni imbogamizi ku kwigira. Nsabimana ati “Turacyafite abantu bangirijwe imitungo mu gihe cya jenoside, bagisiragira bajya kwishyuza. Abantu bacu barasiragira, bagasiragira… Kwishyurwa bibaye byarangiye mu mwaka utaha wa 2014, byadufasha.”

Nsabimana kandi yashimiye aboroje abacitse ku icumu mu mwaka ushize wa 2012 agira ati “ndashimira abaduhaye inka mu mwaka ushize, nk’ibitaro bya Kabutare, abasenateri, n’abandi. Abazihawe ubu zarabyaye. Nta mwana w’uwacitse ku icumu urwaye bwaki. N’uyu mwaka muzongere mudufashe, inkunga yanyu irakenewe.”

Abakecuru b’incike baracyakeneye kwitabwaho. Hari n’abacitse ku icumu batarabona amacumbi. Nsabimana ati “Kwigira byo ni byo, ariko turacyakeneye abatuba hafi, abadutera inkunga. Ubushobozi bwo burahari, kuko abantu barahari, kandi iyo abantu bahari, n’ubushobozi buraboneka.” Ahangaha, Nsabimana atanga urugero ku kigega agaciro.

Ku bijyanye n’ihungabana, Depite Kayitare Innocent na we wari witabiriye igikorwa cyo gutangiza icyunamo mu Murenge wa Kinazi, yavuze ko umwe mu miti ku kibazo cy’ihungabana ari ukuba hafi abacitse ku icumu.

Yagize ati “twese tugire ubumuntu, abantu twumve ko ari  abacu. Niba uturanye n’umuntu, rwose ube wamufasha. Nk’umukecuru utifashije, nta n’icyo akwatse, n’iyo wajya kumuganiriza, umwana muto akaba yajya kumuvomera, ibyo ni ubumuntu abantu baba bakwiye kugarukaho. Kuko umuntu nk’uwonguwo, iyo umukoreye ikintu cyiza, kirafata.”

Depite Kayitare kandi yagarutse ku kwigira kw’aborozwa inka, agaragaza ko bakwiye gufashwa kugira ngo zibashe gutanga umusaruro ufatika. Yagize ati “ Ikibabaje nabonye, ni uko abakecuru bahawe inka za frizone ugasanga irakamwa amalitiro nk’abiri, kandi ifashwe neza, ndumva ikamwa amalitiro nka 30. Bafashwe ku kwita ku ri izi nka kugira ngo umukamo ubashe kwiyongera.”

Bamwe mu baturage basanga kwibuka Jenoside yakorewe abatutsi byubaka byinshi mu muryango nyarwanda

Mu gihe twibuka  ku nshuro ya 19 Jenoside yakorewe  Abatutsi mu Rwanda,bamwe mu baturage b’akarere ka Nyabihu basanga hari impinduka nziza cyane kwibuka  bizana mu muryango Nyarwanda.

Nk’uko Ndagijimana Jean Bosco umwe mu baturage batuye mu murenge wa Mukamira mu mudugudu wa Kazuba abivuga, iyo turi mu bihe byo kwibuka, yibuka uburyo Jenoside yabaye ndetse kuko byabaye abireba bikamutera ishavu rikomeye kuko yongera kwibuka ibyago abacitse ku icumu bahuye nabyo.

Ibyo bigatuma yumva urukundo akunda abacitse ku icumu rwiyongera cyane kandi agaharanira gukora igishoboka cyose ngo imibereho y’Abacitse ku icumu irusheho kuba myiza ndetse n’iy’Abanyarwanda bose irusheho kuba myiza muri rusange. Uyu Ndagijimana akaba ari umwe mu bagize uruhare rukomeye mu guhisha abatutsi kugira ngo baticwa nk’uko bamwe mu bacitse ku icumu babigarutseho.

Zirimwabagabo Jerome, nawe n’umwe mu baturage b’akarere ka Nyabihu. Kuri we asanga kwibuka Jenoside yakorewe abatutsi, byongera kumwibutsa umubare munini w’Abatutsi bishwe bazira ubusa bikamutera gufata ingamba zo guharanira icyatuma bitazasubira. Kwibuka kandi bikaba bituma abari bakiri bato n’aboJenoside yabaye bataravuka bamenya Jenoside yakorewe abatutsi n’ingaruka yazanye ku gihugu.

Avuga ko kandi mu gihe cyo kwibuka yumva afite inyota yo kwigisha cyane cyane urubyiruko Jenoside yabaye rutaravuka n’abari bakiri bato,kugira ngo rumenye neza uko yateguwe,uko yakozwe,ingaruka mbi yazanye ku Banyarwanda n’ibindi.

Jerome asanga yaba abo Jenoside yabaye bariho bazi ubwenge,yaba urubyiruko rwavutse muri Jenoside na nyuma yayo, bose iyo  bamenye ububi bwa Jenoside,bakamenya ingaruka yateje,bituma banafatira hamwe ingamba zo guharanira ko bitazasubira mu Rwanda.

Kwibuka kandi bituma benshi mu banyarwanda bongera kugaruka ku mateka y’igihugu cyabo bakayigiraho, bigatuma bategura ejo hazaza heza hazira icyahahungabanya,bakarushaho guharanira kwiremamo ikizere bafatanije nk’uko Mukantaganda Jacqueline utuye mu kagari ka Rugeshi yabigarutseho.

Kwibuka bituma ibyabaye bitibagirana kandi bikanafasha abo byabayeho gufata ingamba zo kutazabisubira kuko icyibagiranye gishobora kugaruka nk’uko Mukandori Francine utuye mu mudugudu wa Rugeshi abivuga.

Mukandori yongeraho ko buri wese aba akwiye kwibuka Jenoside,uko yabaye,ibyayiteye n’ingaruka yazanye,kugira ngo buri wese abimenye kandi aharanire kurwanya icyo ari cyo cyose cyatuma bigaruka.

Yongeraho ko byaba bibabaje kwiga amateka y’ibindi bihugu ariko ay’igihugu cyawe akureba wanakuraho n’amasomo yo kurushaho kucyubaka ntuyamenye. Ari nayo mpamvu kwibuka,abantu bakamenya amateka yabo, asanga hari ikintu gikomeye byubakaho umuryango nyarwanda mu bumwe n’ubwiyunge ndetse n’iterambere ryawo.

Avuga ko kera Abanyarwanda batapfaga gusabiriza, Gen. Alexis Kagame yabwiraga abaturage bo mu Kagari ka Butare, Umurenge wa Ngoma, Akarere ka Huye, kuwa 9/4/2013. Aha yabashishikarizaga guharanira kwigira ndetse no kwita ku bakecuru b’inshike, basizwe iheruheru na jenoside.

Gen. Kagame yagize ati “Kera Abanyarwanda ntibasabirizaga, buri wese yaharaniraga kwigira. Ni na yo mpamvu usanga abakecuru bagizwe inshike na jenoside bagira ibibazo bakabyihererana, bagahitamo kwigungira mu nzu, ahanini banga gusaba ababahekuye.”

Ku bw’iyo mpamvu rero yasabye abanyabutare kwegera aba bakecuru, bakabaganiriza bakabakura mu bwigunge, kuko bakeneye ababagaragariza urukundo, ndetse bakanabafasha kwikura mu bukene.

Ku rundi ruhande, Gen. Kagame yashishikarije abanyabutare guharanira kwigira, ntibumve ko hari umuntu bagomba gutegera amaboko. Ngo kuba nyuma ya jenoside hari ababashije kwiyubakira aho baba, gahunda zitandukanye za Leta zikageza abanyarwanda ku kwiyubakira imihanda, … ibi bigaragaza ko kwiyubaka ku bantu bose bishoboka.

In a period of more than 2 months with Youth on Urugerero program all over the country, the youth in Rugarika sector in Kamonyi district have enlightened people in sensitizing people on government projects and community work towards developing their sector.

The executive secretary of Rugarika sector Mr. Emmanuel Rukimbira appreciated the role played by the youth in the Community service program (Urugerero) in supporting their local leaders in physical work as well as sensitization on government programs.

The youth constructed exemplary vegetables gardens (Uturima tw’igikoni) to many people, built houses, made flower gardens and most importantly built a Masaka cell office.

The Urugerero program started on 22^nd.Jan.2013, with youth in every cell deciding on work to do with the help of local leaders.

Apart from community work, the youth in this program made sensitization programs especially on family planning, prevention of AIDS and encouraging people to participate in mutuelle de santé medical insurance with the increase of 83% from 72%.

Families with no toilets were taught the importance of toilets and built them, people were encouraged to have good hygiene and sanitation and cells leaders were supported in services delivery all by the youth on this program.

Ubuyobozi bw’akarere ka Nyanza bwatangiye uburyo bwo kwegera abafite ubumuga kugira ngo bafashwe kwifasha bityo bibarinde umuco wo gusabiriza nk’uko byagiye biranga bamwe muri bo mu gihe cyo ha mbere.

Bumwe muri ubwo buryo bwo kubafasha bwakoreshejwe ni ukubabumbira mu makoperative bakabegeranya kugira ngo byorohe kubakorera ubuvugizi ariko bari ahantu hamwe hazwi babarizwa nk’uko Karabayinga Emmanuel umukozi w’akarere ka Nyanza ushinzwe gukurikirana ibibazo byabo abitangaza.

Amwe mu mahugurwa bahawe yo kubafasha kwifasha

Mu kiganiro yasobanuye  ko hamaze gukorwa byinshi bigamije kuzamura imibereho myiza n’ubukungu bw’abafite ubumuga. Abivuga atya: “ Ubu mu karere ka Nyanza twatangiye amakoperative 12 yibumbiwemo abafite ubumuga ndetse amwe muri yo yakorewe ubuvugizi abona inkunga yo kubafasha kwifasha”

Nk’uko akomeza  abitangaza amwe mu makoperative yamaze kubona ubufasha mu karere ka Nyanza harimo iyitwa COCUNYA, Abakundana Rwabicuma n’Abadahemukirana ba Mukingo.

Karabayinga Emmanuel avuga ko ayo makoperative amaze guhabwa miliyoni 6 n’ibihumbi 100 kuva mu ntangiriro z’umwaka wa 2013.

Uretse kubashakira iyo nkunga yo kubafasha kwifasha, banahabwa amahugurwa yo kubongerera ubushobozi mu birebana n’imicungire y’amakoperative.

Ibi kandi bijyana no kubaha amahugurwa yo kubaka ubushobozi bwa komite zabo bibumbiyemo hakurikijwe ibyo bafitiye  ubushobozi bwo kwishoboza.

Nk’uko byagaragajwe mu nama y’umutekano y’akarere ka Nyamagabe yaguye yateranye kuri uyu wa kabiri tariki ya 26/02/2013, ibikorwa byahungabanyije umutekano mu kwezi kwa kabiri dusoza byariyongereye ugereranije n’ibyagaragaye mu kwezi kwa mbere.

Mu gihe mu kwezi gushize kwa Mutarama ibikorwa byahungabanyije umutekano byari 16, imibare y’ibikorwa byahungabanyije umutekano muri uku kwezi kwa Gashyantare yerekana ko bigera kuri 25 byiganjemo gukubita no gukomeretsa byagaragaye inshuro zirindwi, ubujura bwakozwe inshuro esheshatu, gukoresha no gukwirakwiza ibiyobyabwenge byakozwe inshuro enye, impanuka zagaragaye inshuro eshatu, ubwicanyi bwakozwe inshuro ebyiri, naho kunyereza umutungo wa Leta, gusambanya umwana n’amafaranga y’amahimbano bigaragara inshuro imwe imwe.

Umuyobozi w’akarere ka Nyamagabe wungirije ushinzwe imari, ubukungu n’iterambere, Mukarwego Umuhoza Immaculée atangaza ko nta gikuba cyacitse mu karere kabo kuko ibi bikorwa bihungabanya umutekano byiganjemo urugomo rushingiye ku businzi, bakaba bafashe ingamba zo guhangana nabwo.

Mukarwego yagize ati: “twarebye dusanga icyabiteye ahenshi ni urugomo ruba rushingiye ku bantu baba basinze, tukaba twafashe ingamba zo kongera gukangurira abaturage ko n’ubusinzi nabwo ubwabyo ari icyaha. Amategeko bakayamenya ariko n’amasaha yo kunywa bakayagabanya kuko uko batinda mu kabari niko basinda ninako barwana”.

Akomeza atangaza ko gukurikiza amabwiriza agenga utubari byongera bigashyirwamo ingufu, akamanikwa ahantu hose hacururizwa inzoga ariko bikagendana no guhana abazaba babirenzeho.

“Twabyumvikanyeho ko bongera kumanika ahantu hose hacururuzwa inzoga amasaha yo kunywa akongera akibutwa abaturage ariko nanone bikagendana no kubahana kuko hari igihe babifata nk’ibisanzwe kutayubahiriza”, Mukarwego.

Inzoga z’inkorano nazo ngo zigiye kurushaho guhagurukirwa zimenwe iziri ngombwa zitwikwe, ariko n’abaturage bakangurirwa kutazinywa.

Ikindi ngo ni uko amarondo akomeza gushyirwamo ingufu kuko bigaragara ko ibihungabanya umutekano byinshi bikorwa mu masaha ya nijoro.

Umurenge wa Gasaka ubarizwamo umugi wa Nyamagabe niwo ukomeje kuza ku isonga mu bihungabanya umutekano byinshi mu kwezi, ukaba waragaragayemo gukubita no gukomeretsa inshuro eshatu, ibiyobyabwenge bihagaragara inshuro imwe, ubujura buhaboneka inshuro ebyiri, impanuka imwe ndetse hanagaragara amafaranga y’amahimbano inshuro imwe.

Mu karere ka Nyanza abanyeshuli barangije amashuli yisumbuye ubu bari mu mirimo yo ku rugerero mu mirenge itandukanye igize ako karere barayigerereye.

Ibikorwa byo ku rugerero babikora bazi neza ko bifitiye igihugu akamaro

Urubyiruko rugera kuri 90 rukorera mu kagali ka Nyanza ko mu murenge wa Busasamana mu karere ka Nyanza batangiye kubumba amatafari agenewe kubaka inzu y’umwe mu bantu batishoboye bo muri ako gace.

Abo banyeshuli bavuga ko iyo nzu bageneye umuntu utishoboye bazayubaka kugeza mu isakaro hanyuma ubuyobozi bw’umurenge bukaza mu gikorwa cyo kubunganira mu byo badashoboye.

Umwe muri abo bakanyeshuli avuga ko bakora iminsi 4 mu cyumweru kandi muri bo nta muntu ukunze kubura cyangwa ngo aze yakererewe nta mpamvu kuko isaha biyemeje igera bose bahageze. Ati: “ Ibi bitandukanye n’ibyo bamwe bavuga ko tuba twaje badushyizeho agahato”

Ibyo bikorwa bakora bigamije kwigira ndetse no kwishakira ibisubizo by’ibibazo basanga nabo  ubwabo bashobora kubyikemurira nk’uko bakomeza babivuga.

Inzu bateganya kubakira umusaza witwa Maniraguha Evaliste utuye mu kagali ka Nyanza izaba ifite agaciro ka Miliyoni 3 z’amafaranga y’u Rwanda.

Impamvu yatumwe uwo musaza atoranwa mu bandi ngo yubakirwe ngo n’uko yahoze atagira aho aba byongeye nta mwana n’umugore agira ahubwo yarasigaye ari nyakamwe aho araye uyu munsi ejo wagaruka ntuhamubone nk’uko Maniragaba Elysé umunyamabanga Nshingwabikorwa w’ako kagali abivuga.

Agira ati: “ Uyu musaza yari ifite imibereho mibi itamworoheye nicyo cyatumye tumushyira ku rutonde rw’abagomba kubakirwa mu bikorwa by’urugerero none dore imirimo barayigerereye”

Ku ruhande rw’uyu musaza we avuga ko iyo abonye urwo rubyiruko rwahuye rurimo kumwubakira biba ari ibintu bimushishije agira ati: “ Hari ubwo nanjye nyuzamo nkaza nkabicara iruhande tugakora tuganira nkumva ntandukanye n’irungu”

Hirya no hino mu mirenge itandukanye igize akarere ka Nyanza ibikorwa byo ku rugerero birakorwa kandi ibyo bimaze kugeraho birashimishije nk’uko Kubwimana Florence umukozi w’akarere ka Nyanza ushinzwe guhuza ibyo bikorwa nawe abivuga.

Agira ati: “ Hari abiyemeje kurwanya isuri abandi biyemeza kwigisha abantu bakuze gusoma no kwandika byose birimo kugenda neza ku buryo mu mezi atatu ari imbere hari ibizaba bimaze kugerwaho bifatika”

Mu karere ka Nyanza abanyeshuli bari mu mirimo yo ku rugerero bagera ku 1000 bakaba bakora imirimo itandukanye mu mirenge igize ako karere ifite aho ihuriye n’ibikorwa byo gufasha abatishoboye babubakirwa amacumbi, gukangurira abantu kwirinda ubwandu bushya bwa virusi itera SIDA n’ibindi bikorwa by’amajyambere.
