About 184 poor and vulnerable residents of Kigembe sector in Gisagara district have been given mattresses as a way to help them eradicate grass made beds; one of many plans of Vision Umurenge Program (VUP).

Improving people’s lifestyles through sleeping well will entice people to work harder to get to development and better social lives.

The affected residents of Kigembe sector in Gisagara district are grateful for the mattresses they were given slightly after getting into new and better houses.

According to Donatille Uwingabiye, the vice mayor for social affairs in Gisagara district, giving mattresses to the poor local people is one of the ways to make them realize that they need to work hard and develop as well as having better social welfare.

“We have already eradicated grass thatched houses in this sector and grasses made beds are also being eradicated. People will sleep well in good houses, this will encourage them to live well and think well about what will develop them” says the vice mayor.

People are not only being given mattresses only, but after getting good houses and good beds, they have to develop explained Franҫois Hakizimana the coordinator of VUP. This is why the money that remained after buying mattresses will be used to buy livestock for each family to own one.

All the people in Kigembe sector that were supposed to get mattresses have so far been provided for. This is one more performance contract realized.

During the 1994 genocide victims’ commemoration service this 2013 in Mamba sector in Gisagara district, the mayor of the district Leandre Karekezi has appealed to all people who still have information about the whereabouts of genocide victims so that they can get respectful burials.

This commemoration ceremony started with a mass for the 1994 genocide victims and laying wreaths of flowers to the mass grave containing more than 30,000 bodies.

People contributed about Rwf49000 to be added to the support of genocide survivors in Mamba sector. Most of the speeches delivered were to support genocide survivors for them to be self reliant as the theme of this 19^th commemoration states.

Consolée Uwimana one of the genocide survivors in Mamba sector in her testimony talked about the mistreatment that was accorded Tutsis in Mamba sector towards and during the 1994 genocide against the Tutsis.

Uwimana said that genocide should never happen again for no one should ever experience the atrocities Tutsis experienced during the genocide. She asked the youth to take advantage of the existing good leadership, have education, be self reliant and live in harmony.

Emmanuel Uwiringiyimana the coordinator of IBUKA in Gisagara district appreciated that played a role in the survival of Tutsis during the genocide especially the RPF soldiers who restored peace to Rwandans. He said commemoration should be a period to reminisce and prepare for the future and for everyone to participate in supporting genocide survivors.

The mayor of the district Leandre Karekezi says it is shameful that 19 years down the road after the genocide, people are still laying genocide victims to rest and others are still searching for their relatives.

He says this is due to genocide perpetrators who have not yet opened up to reveal where they hid the bodies, he appealed to such people to reveal such locations so that burial can be done with and people to keep on commemorating instead of burying every year.

Gisagara district commemorates their loved ones

“People should stop holding in the information and help us bury our loved ones in respect they lost when they were killed mercilessly, and periods like this be used only for commemoration” said the mayor.

Genocide survivors in Mamba sector just like all genocide survivors in Gisagara district have achieved a lot in their road to recovery. They are developing through cooperatives and through the support from the district.

Hibukwa inzirakarengane za Jenoside zo mu murenge wa Mamba, umuyobozi w’Akarere ka Gisagara Léandre Karekezi, yasabye abagifite imitima inangiye bazi  ahakiri imibiri y’abazize Genocide yakorewe abatutsi mu 1994, kuyerekana kugirango ishyingurwe mu cyubahiro.

Uyu muhango wo kwibuka wabimburiwe n’igitambo cya misa aho abari bawitabiriye  batuye amafaranga  y’u Rwanda agera ku 49.000 y’ubufasha  ku bacitse ku icumu rya Jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi mu 1994 bo mu murenge wa MAMBA.

Mu butumwa bwatanzwe n’abagize icyo bavugira muri uyu muhango,  bwagarukaga ku guhumuriza abacitse ku icumu rya Jenoside yakorewe abatutsi.

UWIMANA Consolée, ni umwe mu bacitse ku icumu rya Jenoside yakorewe abatutsi. Mu buhamya bwe, yagarutse ku itotezwa rikomeye ryakorewe abatutsi bo mu murenge wa MAMBA, gusa asaba ko genocide itazongera kuba. Akaba agira inama abakiri bato gufata neza amahirwe bafite kubera ubuyobozi bwiza buriho bakiga, bakigira.

Uhagarariye IBUKA  mu karere ka Gisagara, uwiringiyimana Emmanuel, we yashimiye buri wese watumye abacitse ku icumu  bariho ubu. Aha ni ho yagarutse ku Ngabo zari iza FPR. Avuga ko kwibuka byagakwiye kuba umwanya wo gutegura ejo hazaza kandi buri wese akagira uruhare mu gufasha  abacitse ku icumu rya Jenoside.

Umuyobozi w’akarere ka Gisagara Léandre Karekezi kuri we, asanga biteye isoni kubona nyuma y’imyaka 19 Jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi ibaye hakiri imibiri ishyingurwa. Ibi bikaba biterwa ahanini n’abantu bagifite imitima inangiye, ari nayo mpamvu asaba ko abazi aho imibiri ikiri kuyerekana bityo mu bihe nk’ibi abantu bakajya bahura bibuka aho kujya bashyingura buri mwaka.

 Ati “Abantu bakwiye kureka kunangira iimitima bakadufasha tugashyingura abatarashyingurwa bose mu cyubahiro, maze ibihe nk’ibi bikajya biba ibyo kwibuka gusa”

Abacitse ku icumu bo mu murenge wa Mamba kimwe no mu karere ka gisagara muri rusange, ngo hari byinshi bamaze kwigezaho nk’uko bitangazwa n’umuyobozi w’aka karere. Ibi ni nko  kwiteza imbere babicishije mu makoperative, kandi ngo akarere karacyakomeje ubufasha kabagenera. Muri uyu muhango kandi hanashyizwe indabo ku mva ishyinguyemo imibiri isaga 30.000 mu rwego rwo kuyiha icyubahiro.

With one week to the National Commemoration Period of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi victims for the 19^th time, the youth of Gisagara District are being called upon to participate in different programs of the commemoration period.

These said programs that will support genocide survivors and inform Rwandans and the world about the effect of genocide are worth all the support, officials in the District have remarked

Gisagara Youth to participate in commemoration programs

Youth need to participate and identify themselves in the programs of the commemoration period like doing community work, building houses for the homeless genocide survivors, reconstructing the ruined houses, supporting the poor and vulnerable with tools and food stuffs and giving presentations on the history of Rwanda.

 The youth of Gisagara district know very well that such actions are necessary for healing the hearts of many Rwandans that need healing. “Actions like visiting childless parents or people with no families or orphans due to genocide make them realize that they have support from other people and get out of the shack of loneliness” says one of the youth in Ndora sector Pierre Muneza.

The youth in the district are being called upon to do more than what they have been doing in the last commemoration periods and move out to heal the damaged hearts and traumatized minds of genocide survivors and rebuild their country.

“We have prepared different programs and actions in this commemoration period and we need the youth to own them and participate fully in them. We the youth are the strength of the country we therefore have a responsibility to rebuild it. We have to support the weak genocide survivors and give them the hope and courage we can master” says Noel Rukundo the coordinator of National Youth Council in Gisagara district.

As well as other parts of the country, Gisagara district still has orphans-headed families and widows that need hope and courage to move on with their lives after the atrocities they witnessed 19 years ago during the genocide. This will only be done by their Rwandan neighbours especially the youth who are strong enough to give courage to the weak and scared and hope to the hopeless.

Mu murenge wa Rusatira wo mu karere ka Huye,imyiteguro yo kwibuka ku nshuro ya 19 Jenoside yakorewe abatutsi irakomeje. Umunyamabanga nshingwabikorwa w’agateganyo w’umurenge wa Rusatira Rukira wa Muhizi arasaba abaturage kurangwa n’ubufatanye, igikorwa cyo kwibuka ku nshuro ya 19 abaturage bose bakakigira icyabo. Abaturage bo bavuga ko ibiganiro bitangwa mu gihe cy’icyunamo ari ingirakamaro kubera ko bibafasha kurushaho gusobanukirwa ububi bwa Jenoside.

Batangiye gusanira abarokotse Jenoside

 Abaturage baremeza ko mu bihe nk’ibi bibanziriza icyunamo ari umwanya wo kurushaho kwegera abacitse ku icumu,ibyo bikagaragarira mu bikorwa nko kububakira no kubasanira amazu no kwifatanya nabo mu gukemura bindi bibazo baba bafite.

Abandi baturage bo mu murenge wa Rusatira bo baragaruka ku kamaro k’ibiganiro bitangwa mu gihe cyo kwibuka jenoside yakorewe abatutsi. Baremeza ko kujya muri ibi biganiro bituma barushaho gusobanukirwa ububi bwa Jenoside, ibyo bikazatuma nta we uzongera kurangwa n’ingengabitekerezo ya Jenoside.

Marie Mukarutamu umuturage muri uyu murenge ati «Muri biriya biganiro twumva ububi bwa Jenoside pe, tukumva ukuntu ari ibintu bibi cyane bikwiye kwirindwa ndetse ukahava ujya no kwigisha abawe bose cyane cyane abana kugirango hatazagira ubisubiramo »

Umunyamabanga nshingwabikorwa w’agateganyo w’umurenge wa Rusatira Rukira wa Muhizi na we yagarutse ku kamaro ibiganiro bifitiye abaturage aho yemeza ko bifasha abaturage kurushaho kumva ububi bwa Jenoside, ibi bikabaha imbaraga zo gukumira ingengabiterezo ya jenoside.Yakomeja asaba abaturage b’umurenge wa Rusatira gukomeza imyiteguro kugira ngo bazinjire neza mu bihe byo kwibuka.Arasaba buri wese ko igikorwa yakigira icye agira uruhare mu bikorwa byose bizakorwa bijyanye no kwibuka.

Ati «Icyo dusaba abaturage ni uko iki gihe cy’icyunamo buri wese akigira icye, akitabira gahunda n’ibikorwa byose, kuko turi hamwe twese ni imbaraga duha igihugu cyacu mu gukomeza kwiyubaka »

Mu murenge  wa Rusatira biteganyijwe ko hazashyingurwa mu cyubahiro imibiri y’abazize jenoside yakorewe abatutsi igera ku 1644.Ibindi bikorwa biteganyijwe ni ibiganiro byateguwe na komisiyo y’igihugu yo kurwa nya Jenoside nibikorwa bitandukanye byo gufasha abasizwe iheruheru na Jenoside yakorewe abatutsi.

Mu gihe cy’icyumweru kimwe gusa, u Rwanda ruzaba rwibuka ku nshuro ya 19 Jenoside yakorewe abatutsi muri mata 1994, ni muri uru rwego urubyiruko rw’akarere ka Gisagara rwongera guhamagarirwa kuzitabira ibikorwa bitandukanye by’icyunamo bigamije gufasha abarokotse batandukanye ndetse no kumvisha abanyarwanda muri rusange ububi n’ingaruka za Jenoside.

Urubyiruko rwa Gisagara rurasabwa kuzitabira ibikorwa bijyanye n’icyunamo

Muri iki gihe cy’icyunamo ubusanzwe urubyiruko rw’akarere ka Gisagara rukora imiganda rwubakira abarokotse batarubakirwa, rusanira abafite amazu yangiritse, rutanga imfashanyo z’ibikoresho cyangwa ibiribwa ndetse rukanitabira rukanatanga ibiganiro bitandukanye kuri aya mateka yaranze igihugu.

Bamwe mu rubyiruko rwa Gisagara bavuga ko ibi bikorwa ari ngombwa kandi ko bigira akamaro kagaragara koko iyo bikozwe, kuko ngo nko gusura ababyeyi basigye ari incike, cyangwa kwegera abana b’imfubyi zirera bituma bareka kwigunga bakumva ko batari bonyine. Pierre Muneza umwe mu rubyiruko rw’aka karere mu murenge wa Ndora avuga ko abona ari byiza ko urubyiruko rwajya rubyitabira kuko bisiga byubatse aba bantu.

Muri iki cynamo naho rero ngo ibikorwa nk’ibi birateganyijwe, ariyo mpamvu urubyiruko rwose rw’aka karere, rwakwitabira kubigiramo uruhare, cyane ko ngo ku baka imitima y’aba barokotse Jenoside ari ukongera kubaka igihugu.

Rukundo Noel umuhuzabikorwa w’inama y’igihugu y’urubyiruko mu karere ka Gisagara ati “Ibikorwa bitandukanye muri iki cynamo nabwo birateganyijwe, tuhamagarira urubyiruko kuzabyitabira, nitwe mbaraga z’igihugu ni ngombwa rero kutanafatanya kucybaka. Abarokotse bagifite imbaraga nke ni abacu turagomba kubamenya tukabafasha uko tubishoboye, tukabafasha kongera kwiyubaka”

Kimwe n’ahandi mu gihugu akarere ka Gisagara karimo imfubyi zirera n’abapfakazi, bakenewe kwegerwa bakaremwa umutima, bakenera ubaba hafi kugirango boye kwigunga bumve ko atari bonyine. Ibi rero ntawundi uzabibafasha uteri abanyarwanda bene wabo, urubyiruko rubegereye.
