Please forgive this very long e-mail, ndifuza gusobanura uburyo bumwe twagira icyo dukora. I. PROCESS: Inzira iyi Senate vote inyuramo kugirango ibe itegeko ryuzuye: icyambere iyo mubona ngo "Senate unanimously voted..."icyo bisobanura nuko hari abasenateri bafite inyungu cyangwa connection nikibazo nka 2 cyangwa 3 bazana iyi motion, noneho abandi bose bakabona ko ntamuntu koko ukwiye gushyigikira inyeshyamba zikora ibibi nkuko baba bazivuga, bagashyigikira ko uwazifasha wese yafatirwa ibihano. Icyakabiri nuko amendment izava muri Senate ikigwaho muri House, bakayikoraho n'ubugororangingo bwabo, noneho ikajya kwa Prezida, nawe yashaka akagira ibyo ahinduraho, hanyuma aha Ministri w'Ububanyi n'Amahanga (Secretary of State) atanga inama ku bantu b'Abanyamahanga bashobora gufatirwa ibihano cyangwa ntibabifatirwe kubera ko byahungabanya cyangwa ntibihungabanye umubano w'igihugu/ibihugu bakomokamo na Leta Zunze Ubumwe z'Amerika. Ubwo hakava liste y'abantu cyangwa bakaba babyihoreye. Ubwo iyo bigezaho niho itegeko riba rigeze gushyira mu bikorwa. Inzira ni ndende, cyane cyane amategeko asaba amafaranga akenshi abagize Inteko barayihorera akicara agategereza iyo atarimo inyungu zikomeye z'igihugu. Nubwo ariko inzira ari ndende ntabwo twakwicara gusa ngo dukurikire aho rinyura kuko nk'iyo inyungu za politike zibonetse ibintu birihutishwa cyane, byaba cyangwa bitaba rero twahaguruka tukamagana uwashaka guhanira Abanyarwanda ikibazo cy'Abanyekongo. Ku rwego rwa Government rero dufite ibikorwa tuzakurikirana tugerageza gukura mu nzira iri tegeko ryatubangamira, ariko twebwe nk'Intore: II. WHAT WE CAN DO: tudasubije inyuma ibitekerezo byinshi byiza mwatanze, ndabona icyihutirwa ari uko abatuye Amerika n'Ubwongereza mwakwandikira abadepite banyu, ndetse mukanabwira inshuti zanyu z'Abenegihugu mwese hamwe mugasaba kudahohotera u Rwanda n'Abanyarwanda bitewe no kutumva neza ikibazo cyangwa n'inyungu zitandukanye. Ikindi cyoroshye nacyo n'ukuganiriza abantu aho mukora cyangwa mu banyamahanga mubana, bigira akamaro cyane. III. SOME SUGGESTED POINTS mwakwiyongereraho: Rwanda is not at all the origin, nor the enabler of the current DRC crisis/ Rwanda did not create M23, nor did it support it, that's a fact/ Not solving the problem of Congo, but rather creating another one for Rwanda is counterproductive/ Aid utilization in Rwanda is governed by agreed processes between donor and recipient, and visible through impressive results on the ground/The so-called UN Group of Experts Report is deeply flawed from people who produced it, factual errors, methodology and the manipulation around it/ The Coordinator of the report, as proven by his publications, is a man who's sympathetic to the FDLR, an armed group based in DRC, that committed genocide in Rwanda/ Such a report can in no way be the basis to judge the Rwandan Government/ The fact that inaccuracies are repeated over and over doesn't make them truth/ Wasting time in the blame game without contributing to a solution is irresponsible/ DRC neighbors, Rwanda included, have worked out a plan in Kampala last week to get out of the crisis, it needs to be supported by those who want a stable Congo. IV. Finally, Intore, mukurikire amakuru hafi, ameza muyasakaze henshi, abeshya muyamagane actively on social media, especially, ubundi TWIKOMEREZE IMIHIGO! LM

Dear Intore ndabasuhuje, 


Good to see finally we are taking interest in debating this issue of DRC. since its beginning, I feel like I have been to lone voice on this forum to speak on the matter and how whether wrongly or rightly Rwanda will certainly be made to look like its the one behind all this. 


I can confidently say that our policymakers have failed to large extent on our most important principle which is that of preempting events and react before they come to harm us. It's not all lost however, The ICGLR statement is being respected by M23, I am not sure if DRC government will, given how emboldened now they feel as Rwanda takes the heat from all corners most especially from its most perceived close ally the UK. Our inadequate or absence of response to these malicious allegation of Rwanda intention to harm two Rwandan individuals in the UK is the hurtful one if you asked me. As for International community nothing have changed and i fear things may go from bad to worse. At the UN, we are not in total bad shape but watching our representative on two occasions recently responding to DRC accusations it does not ring bells of confidence that we shaking off these attacks. 
I have also been most critical of Rwanda civil society, it has failed our country on this occasion both internally and abroad. 


So, what next?


At home: A peaceful demonstration denouncing the injustice our country is being subjected to once again should take place led by civil society mainly in front of not only UN, US, UK and EU major offices or embassies but also in front of our MINAFET and Parliament in support of our government commitment to sustainable development, national unity and long term stability and asking Rwanda to act decisively in dealing with the threat we face coming from DRC and the indifference of the international community. 


Abroad: Rwanda diaspora across Europe,North America, must coordinate our action by signing a well prepared petition to a number of institutions and offices; 
In Europe for instance that petition could be addressed to the European Union commission & parliament 
In the UK we could address the petition to No10 and International development select committee.


In North American, We should certainly petition State department, congress & Senate even the White house. 


What's important here is the message we will be sending and how well this message is prepared. What ever we do we must seek to be different from how others do things we must be unique as we have always been and effectiveness should be the main characteristics of what we do. We have lately failed ourselves, our President who has constantly led the battle from the front and more importantly lets not fail Rwandan people. 


I would also suggest that after the peaceful demonstration and receiving the petition, the Rt. Hon Minister for Foreign affair issues an unequivocal statement on major global news organisation that DRC gvt and M23 have to get their head together find a solution soon otherwise Rwanda will no longer tolerate the conflict to go on. Rwanda must show its determination to fight both parties and disarm them if it has to. I am not naive of international law implication around this statement but Rwanda is directly threatened and is facing the blunt of this conflict. Those who will pose obstacles must be denounced openly. We must and should show our resolve to support our leadership in taking the most difficult decision of them all that is of committing our men/women into harms away.


I would hope that Rwanda is already working on international coalition to deal decisively with the conflict in case DRC gvt and M23 do not show signs of getting a peaceful agreement forget the ICGLR neutral force Rwanda and Uganda must accept to bare the biggest if not all the burden whether DRC likes it or not. As I said before Rwanda must and should take lead in this coalition no matter how difficult this is. The alternative is that everything that we have worked hard for in the last 18 years is put at risk by unstable DRC. 
I strongly believe that Rwanda still has good relations with some major powers, UK,USA etc... As I said before at the beginning of this conflict, we must revisit our lobbying strategies. A detailed and comprehensive plan of how to pacify eastern DRC must be presented to them and this plan must seek to cater for their interests not antagonise them. This major powers including the EU must be be shown that their and the regional interests are best served by sticking&supporting Rwanda and not punishing us. Our long term aim should be to see the end of MONUSCO in our back yard by pointing out its failures and how we are ready to support it and how effective we can be in doing so. We should not spend to much energy in dealing with DRC gvt now. Instead, much efforts should be focused on its Western reluctant backers. 


All the above are things that can be done in short term. For the long term, we must start rethinking our media&communication strategies, gvt structure the reforms of some institutions are paramount; those strategic and well performing should be strengthened and those which are failing should be lifted and some few which are not fit for purpose must be abolished. I have my own ideas and will provide them in due course and when its necessary.


My ideas may be seen as bonkers of course and get dismissed as such I understand by they are just ideas. 


Many thanks

Good morning Intore,
On this unfolding scenario of aid cuts and other maneuvers against Rwanda by the donors, it looks like we are already in reactive mode, I'm afraid.
I would think we need to step back a little, pose and ask the hard question: how did we get here in the first place? Take the example of the United Kingdom, which I'm fairly familiar with; we have seen this coming. First allegations that our envoy there was intimidating members of Rwandan Diaspora, flopping of our planned Diaspora Convention, then allegation that Rwanda was planning to harm two members of Rwandan Diaspora; this coming from Scotland Yard/London Metropolitan Police. No matter how much we tried to dispel these allegation, it had come from the Met, period! Sustained bad press followed against Rwanda, not only from the right wing media, but also from some media houses we considered friendly and liberal. Then came this recent UN GoE debacle, aid suspension, Andrew Mitchel lost his position as ID Secretary, not before he unsuspended the first tranche of 16m GBP on his last day in office, in what has been termed the "Andrew Mitchel scandal", and as this "scandal" was still unfolding, then came the recent Documentary on UK's flagship TV, Channel 4: Rwanda: where has your aid money gone? I watched it with horror, knowing that a NEW Secretary of State Justine Greening was just days away from taking a decision on Rwanda. This is just, but a brief chronology of how things have unfolded in the case of UK, to get where we are. And now we are talking of being proactive? Unless I don't understand the meaning of that concept! Someone mentioned finding out where some officials stand on these issues (Susan Rice, Secretary Clinton, the White House & its myriad of advisers, who's still friendly, who's neutral and who's more hostile at Capitol Hill; No.10 Downing Street, FCO- Foreign & Commonwealth Office, who's friendly & who's not in the British House of Commons and Lords etc), that will help to plan the next move. Otherwise, any poorly planned move may serve to inflame the situation.

Thank you.
Ignatius Mugabo

- Conspiracy resulted into the 1994 genocide in Rwanda
- The motive of the UN GoEs should be investigated
- UN Stop Injustice Now, Rwanda also deserves Justice
- Need of Congo's Minerals shouldn't substitute Peace
- UN, UK, US, EU..silence on FDLR attacks is a shame
We should really wake up and show the World our disappointment nubwo nta byinshi tubatezeho ariko tubereke ko ibyo bakora abanyarwanda tubisobanukiwe.

Agreed Fred.

Intore Ladislas,

Nubwo mu kinyarwanda tuvuga ngo "Ibuye ryabonetse ntiriba rikishe isuka", biraboneka ko abaturwanya basa naho bavuga bati nubwo "ibuye" baribonye ntacyo bivuze, reka dukomeze dushyiremo utundi tubuye n'amabuye!

Biragaragara ko objectives zabo bazishyize hariya nizo bareba. The overall OUTCOME nuko bagira control ya Congo, whatever it takes nkuko byanditswe cyane i.e. the 20 000 people or so ba Monusco bakora ubusa hariya for so long. Other OUTPUTS? Lies and Lies and Lies again, nkuko hari uwigeze kubivuga mbere yanjye, stating yuko ari uRwanda ruteza ibibazo rushyigikira M23, ubundi bati rufatanyije na Uganda.. 

Ngirango twigeze kubiganiraho hambere, kera ubundi boherezaga abantu babo to organize coups, ariko ubu ntibicyoroshye nk'icyo gihe. Naho ubundi ziriya nyamaswa ziba zaraturiye kera!

Mugihe ibuye ryabonetse rero ariko waribona uwariteze ati nihahandi ndakomeza mutege ayandi, igisigaye ni ugukoma akamo uko tubishoboye. 

Iriya myigaragambyo ku giti cyanjye ndabona ikenewe. Conspiracy irakabije, ntabwo communications zo muri newspapers, kuri internet, tweets etc.. ziri butuvane muri aka "kaduruvayo" aba ba mpatsibihugu n'abambari babo bashaka kudushyiramo.

Naje gusanga ngo uriya mu Tanzania Bernard Kamilius Membe uvuga amateka ya Great Lakes Region nk'aho nta history na nkeya yaho azi, ngo in 2007 "was appointed chairman of South African Development Community (SADC) organ on peace, security & defence during which SADC organ dealt with various peace & security issues in the region including DRC & Zimbabwe". Uwo ni umuntu ufite Masters muri International Relations (Conflict resolution, International law and International Economics).

Ntabwo ibyo yavuze ko bariya bantu bo muri Kivu bahari illegally ntabwo ari uko nta bwenge afite. yarize bihagije. Ahubwo ba giti mu jisho bamubwiye isomo ryoroshye kwigisha riganisha kuri ya outcome: "LIE AND LIE AND LIE AGAIN". Nicyo bamukeneyeho gusa, kandi ntabwo kiruhije mugihe yemeye kuba igikoresho cyabo.

To cut it short (bu not so short, and sorry for that!), ndabona imyigaragambyo iri bube ngombwa. Tubereke ko amabuye yagaragaye kandi tubereke nuko tuzi abagiye bayatega..

Ngaho murare aharyana, ahataryana harare umwanzi.

Kind regards.

Dear Fred;

Did you know that when you organize "imyigaragambyo", you are publicizing the issue and give it more airtime?

It is very important to think about checks and balances as well as "opportunity costs"!

Good night.

Dear Patrick,
You are 100% correct, hari ibyo abanyarwanda tugomba gukora nubwo bisa nkaho ntacyo bibabwiye kubera imigambi yabo. Ndumva mu ngamba twafata habaho imyigaragambyo within and outside Rwanda twamagana "unfairness of international community and super power countries against Rwanda". Nibyumvika rwose impamvu FDLR iba armed ikagera naho itera uRwanda ndetse bakanabyigamba ariko ntihagire icyo international community ikora ahubwo bakarenga bakarenganya uRwanda. This kind of injustice shouldn't be accepted at all especially by Rwandan community with and outside Rwanda.
We can think of other strategies to address these western malicious acts.

Senate votes to sanction those helping M23 in Eastern Congo
Amendment imposing an asset freeze and visa ban on those supporting the M23 added to Defense Authorization bill 
WASHINGTON – The United States Senate unanimously passed an amendment Thursday night imposing sanctions on those providing financial, material, or technological support to the M23 rebel group in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Amendment 3199 to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was introduced by Senators Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), John Boozman (R-Ark.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), and Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.).
"M23 has demonstrated an unconscionable disregard for human life and Congo's territorial integrity and seems determined to sink central Africa in another deadly, devastating war that could set the region back a generation," Senator Coons said. "The actions of M23 rebels, as well as those who aid and abet the M23, are deplorable and must be stopped immediately. These sanctions are designed to stop the illicit and dangerous support the M23 is receiving from those seeking to destabilize the region. I applaud Senator Durbin for taking the lead on this amendment, and am pleased the Senate spoke with one voice in unanimously supporting its passage." Senator Coons is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on African Affairs.
"The civil war in eastern Congo is the most lethal conflict since the Second World War and its barbarism defies description," Senator Durbin said. "Last week, a well-armed rebel forces occupied the city of Goma and have set their sights on Kinshasa, Congo's capital. The rebels, known for brutal violence and led by known war criminals, have the potential to destabilize the entire nation. As the violence continues to escalate, it is clear that the rebels are benefitting from strategic and material support from outside forces. This amendment freezes the assets and implements a visa ban for any person providing such troubling support. Our goal is to hasten an end to the violence by starving the rebels of their key lines of support." Senator Durbin is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on African Affairs.
Eastern Congo has been plagued by civil war for over the better part of two decades. Fighting for control of the region's vast mineral resources, the fighting has killed millions and subjected innocent civilians to unspeakable levels of violence, include rape as a weapon of war. Known as the "Rape Capital of the World," an estimated 1,000 women assaulted every day – nearly 12 percent of all women in Congo. The conflict is also marred by the use of child soldiers and the bloody and brutal violence inflicted on civilian populations.
M23 is a rebel group comprised largely of defectors from the Congolese army. The group seized the eastern city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo last week and, despite reports of a planned withdrawal yesterday, still occupies the important trading city. According to a report by the U.N. Group of Experts, the group is reported to be receiving significant assistance from neighboring Rwanda.
Last week, the U.N. Security Council passed a resolution calling on M23 to disarm, disband, and return control of Goma to the Congolese government, and urging nations to impose sanctions on M23 and its supporters. On Monday, the African Union said it was considering deploying an international force from Tanzania to oversee the withdrawal of M23.
The Democratic Republic of Congo was founded in 2003 at the conclusion of Second Congo War — a five-year multi-lateral conflict involving eight nations and two-dozen militia groups. The war and lingering conflicts are reported to have claimed the lives of 5.4 million people. It was the deadliest war in modern African history.

UMWAKA URASHIZE. HAKOZWE IKI? IMFUBYI YABUZE KIRERA, UMUPFAKAZI NTA GIFASHA, UMWICANYI ARIDEGEMBYA.

December 6, 2012 By Rwema IT Webmaster Leave a Comment

Mu ijoro ryo ku ya 30 Ugushyingo rishyira ku ya 1 Ukwakira umwaka wa 2011 nibwo inkoramaraso za Kagame zivuganye INGABIRE Charles wari umunyamakuru wa INYENYERINEWS.ORG. yatabarutse assize umwana n'umufasha ubu bombi badafite kirengera.

Charles INGABIRE yari impunzi mu ri UGANDA yemewe n'amategeko, umuryango mpuzamahanga wita ku mpunzi (HCR mu magambo ahinnye y'igifaransa) wakagombye kuba hari icyo wakoze mu gufasha byibuze umuryango gutuzwa mu gihugu gifite umutekano aho inkoramaraso za Kagame zitabahubanganyiriza umutekano. Ibi byiyongera ku gikorwa kigayitse HCR yakoze cyo kwirukana INGABIRE mu nzu barindiramo abafite ibibazo by'umutekano, bikaba aribyo byatumye abicanyi bacaurwaho INGABIRE baramwica. Intandaro y'ibi byose, ikaba ari nayo ntandaro y'akarengane impunzi z'abanyarwanda zikorerwa, ni cya cyemezo HCR yafatanye n'ingoma ya FPR cyo kwambura ku ngufu abanyarwanda uburenganzira ku buhungiro.
ESE NI NDE WISHE INGABIRE?

Kugeza ubu ibimenyetso simusiga bifata inkoramaraso ya Kagame yitwa RUTAGUNGIRA Rene. Mbere yuko twerekana ibi bimenyetso, reka tubanze dusubize amaso inyuma turebe uwo RUTAGUNGIRA Rene uwo ariwe.
RUTAGUNGIRA yavukiye i Gahanga, ashyingiranwa na Hyacenthe umukobwa wa RUTERANA w'i NYANZA ya Butare. Bafitanye abana babiri.

Rutagungira yinjiye mu ngabo z'Inkotanyi mu 1991 ari kumwe na SANKARA, akorera imyitozo i NAKIVALE/UGANDA. Nyuma yabaye umusirikare usanzwe wo muri Bataillon ya 101 yigeze kwitwa DELTA, ikaba yarayoborwagwa na Major Vedaste KAYITARE. RUTAGUNGIRA yaje kuba umurinzi muri High Command abifashijwemo na Gen James KABAREBE. Uyu KABAREBE yafashije RUTAGUNGIRA kujya kwivuza muri Uganda, nyuma yaho RUTAGUNGIRA yari arwariye umwijima mu 1993. Ibi bikaba bitari bisanzwe bikorerwa umuntu wari ufite ipeti rya Private. Amaze gukira, Rutagungira yabaye umurinzi wa KABAREBE kugeza mu 1995, ubwo babeshyaga ko bamusezereye mu ngabo ari ku ipeti rya Sergeant.

Rutagungira kandi yari umukinnyi w'umupira mu ikipe ya APR ikiri mu ishyamba.

Kuva mu 1996, Rutagungira yagaragaraga cyane atwaye imodoka za Volkswagen Golf zari zahawe abicanyi bo kwa Col UDAHEMUKA Silas alias BIHEHE. Rutagungira akaba yarazaga kunywesha amavuta muri Camp GP. Abandi bakoreshaga izo modoka harimo Major Barinda wishe Kabera Assiel na Lt. Gasana Emmanuel alias Kibanda. Mbere yo kwivugana INGABIRE, Rutagungira yabanje kumwiyegereza birimo n'inseko yuzuyemo imbereka nka zimwe za Aloyiziya INYUMBA.

Rutagungira kandi azwiho kuba umwe mu bicanyi bakoreshaga amamamodoka yanditseho UNHCR yakoreshwaga mu kunyereza impunzi bazikuye mu nkambi, bakaza kuzicira mu Rwanda.

Muri Werurwe 1998, Rutagungira yafunganywe na Nsengiyumva Samuel i Kanombe n'i Kibungo bazira ko bakoze nabi operation bari bahawe na KABAREBE yo kwica BAYINGANA Victor. Baje gufungurwa mu Ukuboza 1999.

Mu 2003, Rutagungira na Gashongore Omar bibye imodoka ya PNUD i Burundi bibaviramo gufungirwa muri 1930 amezi 6.
Amaze gufungurwa by'agateganyo, Rutagungira yagiye kuba umushimusi muri Kongo, ari nako ahakorera akazi k'ubutasi n'ubwicanyi. Gusa kubera umururumba we watumye aba ka wa mugani ngo "ingwize yishe Ntango." Yaje gukorana ubucuruzi bw'imbaho na Col Ali NGABO utarumvikanaga na Kagame. Aho Silas Udahemuka abimenyeye atanga itegeko ryo kumwica, nibwo Rutagungira acikiye muri Uganda aho yageze agasaba ubuhungiro.

Mu 2009, ubukene bumugeze ku buce yananiwe kwihangana, ahitamo iy'ubusamo yo gucura inkumbi no kugarika ingogo ariko akaramuka. Rutagungira yasabye uwo bita ERIC kumuhuza na Lt Col KARANGWA wo kwa GACINYA kugirango yongere akore umurimo wo kumena amaraso no kuneka. Aho niho yashoboye guhurira na Lt Col KARANGWA anatangiriraho Rutagungira yatangiye kujya ajya mu Rwanda avuye muri Uganda agaca Tanzaniya cyangwa Kenya, agasiga abeshye izindi mpunzi ko agiye Sudan gucuruza impu.

Mu gihe yari akitwa impunzi, Rutagungira yishe amategeko agenga impunzi maze ajya kwaka passport muri ambassade y'u Rwanda i Kampala, nuko anyarukira i Kigali aho yavuye umugore we yemerewe kuzajya acuruza muri Uganda ibikorwa n'uruganda rw''INYANGE ya Kagame.

Agarutse i Kampala, Rutagungira yaguze imodoka ya Toyota Premio, akayikoresha aneka umupfakazi wa Rugambage Leonard, NDEKERUMUKOBWA Bonita, n'izindi mpunzi ziitandukanye, cyane cyane abateguraga igikorwa cyo kwamagana kwambura abanyarwanda ubuhunzi.

Hagati aho RUTAGUNGIRA afatanyije n'abahungu ba KANANURA wahoze ayobora UMUBANO, bahawe mission yo kwica RUJUGIRO bamutegeye mu gikorwa cyo gushyingura umuhungu we muri Uganda.

Mu 2011, Rutagungira na MUNYANEZA Hubert bafunzwe n'inzego z'ipereza za Uganda nyuma yaho bagerageje guha bitugukwaha abakozi bo mu nzego za leta ya Uganda ngo babahe amabanga yo muri presidence. Rutagungira yaje gufungurwa afashijwe na HCR kuko yavugaga ko ari impunzi. Abifashijwemo cyane cyane na ERIC na MUNYURANGABO Aime.

Nyuma yo gufungurwa, Rutagungira yatanze ruswa ya 100 000 by'amashilingi ngo handikwe inkuru inyomoza ko atari maneko, ari nako akomeza kwiyegereza INGABIRE Charles. Igikorwa cyo kuneka no kwiyegeraza INGABIRE yagifashwagamo na Karekezi Pascal.

Uyu Karekezi Pascal akaba ari maneko ya NGARAMBE John na Mugambage Frank, ibeshya ko ari impunzi yo muri Kongo.

RUTAGUNGIRA mu kwica INGABIRE Charles.

Nyuma yo kwikubira INGABIRE, RUTAGUNGIRA yamuhaye nimero ya telefoni yo kuvuganiraho y'ibanga. Iyi nimero niyo Rutagungira yakoresheje ahamagara INGABIRE kuya 26 Ugushyingo 2011 mu ma saa cyenda. Iyi nimero ikaba yaravuganye na INGABIRE inshuro zirenze 15 ku munsi INGABIRE yiciweho. Nyuma yo kwica INGABIRE, RUTAGUNGIRA yakuyeho iyo nimero.
Ikindi ni uko nyuma yo kwicwa kwa INGABIRE, RUTAGUNGIRA n'umugore we bahise barigita habe no kuza gutabara kandi baravugaga ko ari inshuti magara.

Mu gihe hakorwaga iperereza ku rupfu rwa INGABIRE, umuzamu wo kuri MAKIE'S II Bar, yavuze uko abantu bari bicaranye na INGABIRE basaga. Haherewe kubyo yavuze, umwe muri bo akaba asa na RUTAGUNGIRA. Umuzamu yeretswe amafoto atandukanye ngo yerekane niba hari irimo ifite ishusho y'uwarashe INGABIRE; umuzamu yahisemo iya RUTAGUNGIRA.
Abaturage batuye BUKESA aho INGABIRE yiciwe nabo bemeje, bahereye kuri iyo foto, ko RUTAGUNGIRA bamubonye mu modoka ya MITSUBISHI PAJERO abicanyi bakoresheje biruka. Ngo iyi modoka ikaba yari yakomeje kwisirisimba hafi aho kuva mu ma saa kumi n'ebyiri.

Ibikorwa by'iperereza ku rupfu rwa INGABIRE no kwamagana urwo rupfu byakomeje kubangamirwa na ambassade y'u Rwanda i Kampala ibifashijwemo na KAREKEZI Pascal ubu ushinzwe kumenya aho impunzi zikorera cyangwa zitaha.
Rutagungira yakomeje gukurikirana abantu bose baba bafite icyo bazi ku rupfu rwa INGABIRE kugeza naho kuya 26 Werurwe 2012, Rutagungira yagerageje guha amafranga abakozi bo muri Refugee Law Project ngo bamuhe amakuru ku muryango wa INGABIRE no ku mpunzi zikurikirana ikibazo cya INGABBIRE arikko bamubera ibamba.

Ku ya 7 Ugushyingo 2012, RUTAGUNGIRA yibaruje nk'impunzi abifashijwemo na HCR kandi bizwi neza ko ahigwa na Polisi ya Uganda.

Nkuko bisanzwe bizwi ku nshingamatwi za Kagame, uyu RUTAGUNGIRA kuva yakwica INGABIRE akoresha nimero za telefoni zitandukanye harimo +211991913637, +256779356050, +256781864118, +250730448221. Iyi nimero ya nyuma akaba ariyo aheruka gukoresha ubwo twamenyaga amakuru ko ari i Kigali.

Nguwo KAREKEZI Pascal washinzwe na Ngarambe John na Mugambage gutanga amakuru ku mpunzi zigomba kwicwa.

Nyuma yahoo bahinduye inzego z'ubutasi, RUTAGUNGIRA wakoreraga Col Dan MUNYUZA yahorejwe gukorera Lt Col RUTAGENGWA Franco abifashijwemo n'uwahoze ari umunyamabanga wa Munyuza witwa Capt. NSANZUMUHIRE.
Amaraso ya INGABIRE yashyize igorora iyi nkoramaraso ku buryo ubu isigaye ibaho mu buzima buhenze igaramye mu mahoteli akomeye iyo itari mu bikorwa byo guhiga abo yivugana. Ubu Rutagungira arimo kugaragara ku mupaka wa Kongo inshuro nyinshi.

Hagati aho nyuma y'uko kwica INGABIRE hakoreshejwe amasasu byakuruye amahane, ubu RUTAGUNGIRA n'abandi bicanyi bategetswe kujya bakoresha amarozi. Aha niho abanyarwanda cyane cyane ababa Uganda bahunze ingoma y'igitugu ya KAGAME, bakwiye kwirinda utubari n'ahandi hakunze kugaragara abanyabirori bakorana na KAGAME.

Urupfu rwa Charles Ingabire rwateje akaduruvayo hagati yu Rwanda nigihugu cya Uganda kuburyo Nyakubahwa President Paul Kagame yahavugiye amangambure agera naho yita Ingabire umujura. Polisi ya Uganda yahawe amakuru menshi asobanura ukuntu Rutagungira nabagenzi be aribo bahitanye Ingabire Charles, ariko bitewe namasezerano ari hagati yibihugu byombi ngo yo guhererekanya abahungabanya umutekano, Ayo makuru yose yabaye impfabusa hagati aho tukibaza niba abanyamakuru nabo barirwa mubahungabanya umutekano? Ingabire Charles Imana Iguhe Iruhuko ridashira tuzahora tukwibuka.

WHEN Thomas Pickering took up the No.3 position at the U.S. State Department in 1997, his attention turned to Sudan. The U.S. Embassy in Khartoum had been vacated the previous year after the C.I.A. reported threats, but Pickering wanted the mission reopened in a country that had harbored Osama bin Laden until May 1996 and had more experience than most with violent Islamist extremism.

"The intelligence reports that prompted the closure of the embassy were false and I felt strongly that the embassy should be reopened," Pickering, who has served as ambassador to Nigeria, Israel, India, Russia and the United Nations, told me. "But Susan Rice and Sandy Berger felt strongly it should remain closed and so it did not get reopened for a long while."

Rice, now U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and a leading candidate along with Senator John Kerry to become the next secretary of state, was then assistant secretary for African affairs. She had strong views about Sudan and plenty of reasons to hold them: a terror-sponsoring Sudanese government playing host to anti-American Islamist radicals and engaged in a brutal war with its own citizens in the south.

But while under no illusions about the Sudanese government, Pickering, then under secretary of state for political affairs, saw an opportunity to probe possible shifts in Khartoum. "My view was that we needed to be in contact with governments around the world whatever their characters, and we might change Sudan's attitude through being there," he said. "Susan took a different view."

Today we are at a crucial juncture for American power. President Obama's priority in preserving U.S. influence in the world must be domestic: reviving the economy. He needs a secretary of state able to chart her or his own course at times, with a team-of-rivals independence, and the ability to talk to enemies — Iran being top of that list.

Susan Rice is certainly capable and tough. One person who has spent a lot of time with Rice is struck by her "bristling certitude." A former U.S. ambassador told me, "Rice does not know how to be unblunt." But it is her judgment at critical moments — as displayed on whether to reopen the Sudan embassy or in her handling of the talking points on the killing of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans — that troubles me.

Of course, the ultimate decision on returning U.S. diplomats to Khartoum in 1997 did not lie with Rice. Samuel R. Berger, as national security adviser to President Clinton, had more clout. Still, as the State Department's point person on Africa, her opinion had weight.

Rice's thinking at the time, as described to me by several officials, ran like this: Reopening the U.S. Embassy would have been interpreted by the Sudanese as a reward for good behavior. The United States, she felt, could not send that signal to a country on the terrorist list and involved in the worst human rights abuses. Moreover, nothing she saw at the time suggested that the Sudanese offers of intelligence assistance were serious.

What difference a U.S. decision to engage with Khartoum would have made to intelligence gathering on Al Qaeda, preventing the August 1998 bombing of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, averting the mistaken 1998 U.S. cruise-missile attack on a pharmaceutical factory in Khartoum, and blocking the path to 9/11 is unclear.

On one particular issue — whether in 1996 (when Rice was a senior director for Africa at the National Security Council) Sudan offered to hand over Bin Laden — the 9/11 Commission Report "found no credible evidence that this was so."

"Ambassador Rice believes that it is far better to have a diplomatic presence than not," her spokeswoman, Erin Pelton, said in an e-mail message. "Thus her inherent predisposition is to try to reopen embassies as soon as possible. However, when the U.S. is dealing with countries that are state sponsors of terrorism, that decision cannot be made without regard to the policy signal it sends."

Tim Carney, the ambassador to Sudan at the time, had to leave the country in early 1996 when the embassy was vacated. He believes that the decision not to reopen the following year was disastrous.

"We took our eye off the ball," he told me. "We did not know what was happening in Khartoum, a center of extremist Islam. There was no logic to our policy beyond punishing Khartoum and supporting the rebellion in south Sudan. That the Sudanese could not ensure our security was complete and utter nonsense. In my experience, Rice failed in her judgment. Our interests suffered."

Pickering was in general impressed with Rice, a woman of strong ideas navigating an effective course in many areas of African policy, including Ethiopia and Eritrea. It was only on Sudan, he said, that "we disagreed, and I was not happy."

Rice, as Sudan suggests, is decisive: She joined the Obama team early in his first campaign when other foreign policy heavyweights backed Hillary Clinton. She is known to be very close to the president. He has made clear that he is prepared to spend significant political capital to defend her if he nominates her for secretary of state. During the first term, foreign policy was very White House-centered. If Obama plans a similar second-term set-up, Rice would be a natural fit.

Over the years I have heard Rice, whom I once met briefly, described as smart, loyal, earnest, combative, certain of her views and not particularly worldly. Her convictions on human rights, shaped through the Rwandan genocide that in turn influenced her views on south Sudan, are passionate.

She famously clashed with the late Richard Holbrooke (and successfully helped keep him from Obama's inner circle); an attempt at a reconciliatory breakfast ended with him giving her his private cellphone number without the gesture being reciprocated.

One senior Obama administration official who was very close to Holbrooke and so, in her words, "got off on the wrong foot with Rice," has become a great admirer. Rice, she argues, has done great things at the United Nations.

"The notion that she is a walkover for Obama is just nonsense," she told me.

According to this official's account, Rice was the "only cabinet member arguing for what we ended up doing in Libya" — a military intervention, backed by a strong U.N. resolution Rice managed to secure, that saved Benghazi and ended with the ousting of Muammar el-Qaddafi.

"She knows how to transcend the limits of American power by knowing the limits of American power," the official said. "She uses all the tools in the toolbox. When the cry goes up in a crisis, 'Save the peacekeepers,' she says, 'No, save the people!"'

Rice has been the object of egregious Republican attacks over her now notorious Benghazi television interviews on Sept. 16. Their attempt to portray her covering up a supposedly premeditated terrorist attack that left four Americans dead does not hold up. My understanding is there is no evidence of premeditation — as in advance planning — or even that the attackers knew that Ambassador Chris Stevens, who happened to be visiting Benghazi, was there. The charged Al Qaeda epithet has been loosely thrown around for a local militant group called Ansar al-Shariah.

Still, Rice's performance raises questions. If the C.I.A. was the main editor of her talking points, and that editing involved the last-minute removal of references to Ansar al-Shariah for fear of tipping them off, would it not have been wise to avoid alluding to the killings as a "horrific incident where some mob was hijacked ultimately by a handful of extremists" — as she said on CNN? And if the C.I.A. knew that two of its own had been killed, why did Rice tell ABC News that "two of the four Americans who were killed were there providing security"?

We now know, thanks to reporting by David Ignatius of The Washington Post among others, that the two C.I.A. agents, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, were killed with mortar fire a full six hours after Stevens in a separate Benghazi location. By the time Rice went on TV, five days had elapsed since the killings, and the C.I.A. had done extensive debriefing.

Why then did Rice not step back, ask questions and hedge her talking points rather than plunge ahead with an account of a spontaneous reaction by "folks in Benghazi," like the one in Cairo, to the anti-Muhammad video? As is now clear, the demonstration never happened.

Stevens is mentioned just once in the various Rice interviews. The killing becomes an almost abstract "violence" committed by "extremists." The video is "hateful," "heinous," "disgusting," "offensive" and "reprehensible." The killing of four Americans is "condemnable," "unacceptable," "reprehensible" and "horrific."

Somewhere in all those adjectives the distinction on the scales of iniquity between mischief and murder is lost.

The U.S. secretary of state needs several skills: leadership, strategic vision, an inner compass, knowledge of the world and judgment. The most effective secretaries — Dean Acheson, Henry Kissinger, George Shultz and James Baker come to mind — have served their presidents, of course, but were also shapers and clinchers of policy.

The recent precedent of Colin Powell's reluctant support for the Iraq war shows how important it can be for the secretary to stand up to the White House — even to the point of resignation, as Cyrus Vance did in 1980 over a disagreement with Jimmy Carter.

In diplomacy the core question is often this: What do I want to get and what do I have to give to get it? Certitudes and bluntness get you only so far. It is less a question of what you know than how curious you are about what you do not.

Susan Rice's story includes several significant achievements. But, from Khartoum to Benghazi, it has been more one of knowing than asking.

Umwaka ushize kandi Kinshasa ngo yasabye u Rwanda kubafasha gukura ingabo zabo (za Congo )zivuga ikinyarwanda zikavanwa muri Kivu zose bakajyanwa (deployment)mu zindi ntara za Congo.

Gen James Kabarebe ati: "Badusabye kubafasha gufata Gen Bosco Ntaganda washakishwaga na ICC, badusaba kubafasha mu biganiro n'ingabo zabo zivuga ikinyarwanda. Icyo twabafashije ni ibiganiro kuko ibyinshi byabereye mu Rwanda."

Abo mu ngabo zivuga ikinyarwanda bavugaga ko amasezerano ya Werurwe 2009 atubahirijwe nkuko Kabila yabibemereye.

Muri iyimu nama zabo zabereye mu Rwanda abo basirikare ba Congo bavuga ikinyarwanda bavuze ko batava muri za Kivu mu gihe imiryango yabo ikiri mu buhungiro, ndetse ngo nabo ubwabo bakaba bavangurwa mu ngabo za FARDC.

Ingabo z'u Rwanda zabagiriye Inama y'uko imirwano idashobora gukemura ibibazo ko bakomeza bakagirana ibiganiro kugeza babonye umuti.

James Kabarebe ati: " Mu mezi atatu mbere yo gutangira imirwano kwa M23 habaye inama z'abaministre b'ingabo b'u Rwanda na Congo inshuro zirenga 4 biga ku kibazo. Tugerageza kubafasha gukemura ikibazo.

u Rwanda rwababwiye ko nta kibazo rufitanye n'abasirikare ba Congo bigumuye, ahubwo ikibazo u Rwanda rugifitanye na FDLR ikorera muri za Masisi."

Gen Kabarebe yasobanuye ko u Rwanda rumaze gutera umugongo Congo mu kubafasha kurasana na M23, Congo Kinshasa nibwo yatangiye kurega ingabo z'u Rwanda ko zifasha M23.

Nuko ngo imiryango ya Human Right Watch n'itsinda ryoherejwe na UN nabo batangira guhimba ibinyoma bafashijwe na Congo ko ingabo z'u Rwanda ziri gufasha M23.

Gen James Kabarebe yavuze ko byose babimenyaga mbere y'uko naza raporo zisohoka bagahamagara inzego za gisirikare za Congo n'ubundi bakoranaga umunsi ku munsi, ariko ntibashake kugira icyo bo babikoraho.

Gen Kabarebe nawe wagiye ushinjwa muri izo raporo yasobanuriye abadepite ko mu birego u Rwanda ruregwa harimo guhimba kugaragara ndetse n'ubuswa umuntu atakwitirira ko ari impuguke koko zabikora.

Icyambere ngo ni Steve Hege uyoboye iryo tsinda ry'impuguke. Kabarebe avuga ko bitumvikana uko umuntu ushyigikira FDLR (irwanya Leta ya Kigali) wanabishyize mu nyandiko atabogamira ku kintu cyose kirwanya u Rwanda nka FDLR. Kuri Kabarebe ngo Steve Hege kubeshyera u Rwanda ntabwo bitunguranye.

Ngo muri za raporo bafataga abantu bakaberekana ngo ni abanyarwanda. Gen Kabarebe we avuga ko bidashoboka kuko umuntu wese uvuga ikinyarwanda muri Congo atari umunyarwanda.

Ibirego bashyira ku bayobozi b'ingabo z'u Rwanda, Ministre, umugaba mukuru w'ingabo n'umunyamabanga uhoraho nabyo ngo nta shingiro bifite.

Ati: "Kuvugana na M23 twavuganaga nabo turi kumwe n'ubundi n'abasirikare ba Congo, mu gihe twariho tubagira inama bose, ariko kuva bajya mu ishyamba ntitwongeye kuvugana na M23, ahubwo tuvugana kenshi n'abayobozi b'ingabo za Congo"

Ministre w'Ingabo z'u Rwanda avuga kandi ko bitumvikana uburyo raporo y'impuguke ivuga ngo "twabwiwe na kanaka ibi nibi" ariko ngo ntibemere  kwandika muri raporo ybao ibyo babwiwe na kanaka wo kurundi ruhande.

Ati: "twajyanye izo mpuguke i Kanombe aho zanditse ko hatorezwa abasirikare ba M23. Bazungurukijwe ikigo berekwa ko aho hantu bari bavuze ko hakorerwa imyitozo y'abarwanyi ba M23, tubereka ko hari ibitaro, irimbi, abaturage batuye hafi n'ibindi bigaragaza ko utahatoreza abasirikari"

Ariko ku irimbi bahabonye imva ebyiri nshya z'abasirikare, umwe yitwa Sgt Tubanambazi Jean waguye mu butumwa bw'akazi i Darfur. Izo mpuguke zaragiye zandika ko ari imva z'abasirikare ba M23 baguye ku rugamba i Rutchuru bashyinguye i Kanombe.

Ku kijyanye n'imyambaro ya gisirikare ya M23 bavuga ko ari iyo bahawe na RDF. Gen James Kabarebe avuga ko Congo n'u Rwanda n'izindi ngabo nyinshi mu karere zigurira imyambaro muri China. Akibaza impamvu bavuga ngo ni iza RDF gusa.

Muri raporo y'izo mpuguke ngo bashinje Gen Jack Nziza (umunyamabanga uhoraho muri Ministeri y'ingabo) ko ngo yimuriye ibiro bye i Musanze ngo ayobore urugamba rwa M23.

Ibi ngo babihakanye bereka izi mpuguke za UN ko Gen Jack Nziza igihe cyose yakoreye ku kicaro cya RDF ku Kimihurura ndetse berekana n'amatariki y'uko igihe bavuga muri za raporo Gen Nziza we yari mu kazi ku Kimihurura berekana n'amatariki yagiye yakira abashyitsi barimo na benshi b'abazungu.

Muri raporo berekanye umusirikare witwa Capt Sadat Janvier bafatiye muri Congo bavuga ko ari officer wa RDF, Ministre w'Ingabo yavuze ko RDF nta musirikare witwa capt Sadat Janvier ifite. Ahubwo ko nyuma y'iperereza ry'ingabo z'u Rwanda basanze uyu Capt Janvier Sadat ari umusirikare wa FARDC wo muri Bataillon ya mbere ya Regiment 807.

RDF yarezwe gufasha M23 gufata GOMA

Ibi Ministre Kabarebe yavuze ko byoroshye kubisubiza kuko umuybozi wa Monusco i Goma ubwo yabihakanye.

Umuyobozi w'ingabo za MONUSCO muri Goma w'umuhinde yitangarije kuri BBC ko ibimenyetso yabonye ari uko nta kimenyetso gifatika ko abasirikare b'u Rwanda bari muri M23 yafashe umujyi wa Goma.

Uyu muyobozi wa MONUSCO yavuze ko imirwanire ya M23 ikomeye cyane kuko ngo uburyo bari bacye, kandi barwana kuri gahunda ngo aribyo byabahaga imbaraga no kwihuta kugera bavanye FARDC muri Goma.

Umuti

ICGLR (International Conference on the Great Lakes Region) iri gushaka binyuze mu biganiro kuko  ngo ariyo nzira nziza yo gukemura amakimbirane kubwa Gen Kabarebe.

u Rwanda kandi ngo rwasabye ko ICGLR yongerwa bikaba ibihugu 11 kugirango ikibazo gikemurwe hifashishijwe imbaraga z'ibitekerezo bya benshi mu karere, ibi ngo byarakozwe.

Gen Kabarebe akaba yavuze ko u Rwanda rutaba ruri gushyira imbaraga mu gukemura ikibazo cy'abaturanyi ngo nirurangiza rube ikibazo kuri bo mu gihe kimwe. Ibyo ngo ntibishoboka kuko ntacyo byaba bimariye igihugu cy'u Rwanda.

Gen Kabarebe ati: "Twababwiye ko FDLR ariyo ibyungukiramo buri gihe. Nyuma y'iminsi FDLR zaraciwe intege na ziriya gahunda za Congo n'u Rwanda, ubu FDLR yongeye kwiyegeranya itera udutero shuma ku Rwanda.

Byadusabye imbaraga ngo u Rwanda rwumvishe abazungu ko ari FDLR yateye u Rwanda, kuko bo bavugaga ko u Rwanda arirwo rwiteye ngo rubone impamvu yo kujya muri Congo.

Ubu twariteye hapfa abantu ngo tubone uko tujya muri Congo?! Ko tutagiyeyo se?"

twahisemo gufunga imipaka yacu FDLR tuzayitegerereza mu Rwanda ntabwo tuzasubira muri Congo.

Icyo twakwifuje ni uko FDLR yaza, ariko ikaza yose ubundi ikibazo kikarangirira rimwe. Biriya byo kuza nk'abajura ni ukudutesha umutwe kuko bazi ko tutakongera kubakurikirana muri Congo. Ariko mbijeje ko FDLR iteye mu Rwanda mu bushobozi dufite ntabwo bahamara isaha."

Ministre Kabarebe yavuze ko icyo u Rwanda rugamije ni ugukomeza gukorana na Congo n'ibihugu by'akarere gushaka umuti w'imitwe yose irwanira mu burasirazuba bwa Congo.

Ministre Kabarebe, akaba yasoje asaba abadepite kuba abavugizi b'u Rwanda na rubanda ku kibazo cy'amahanga arega u Rwanda ibintu bidafatika.
