Portrait de Juvénal Habyarimana (5 et 6/12)

Par Alain Foka

        

Arrivé au pouvoir à la faveur d'un coup d'Etat l'été 1973, puis élu à plusieurs reprises à la tête de son pays, le président Juvénal Habyarimana est victime d'un attentat le 6 avril 1994 qui marquera le début du génocide rwandais.

[amakurunamateka.com] A Letter to the Rwandan People: Erica Barks-Ruggles, US Ambassador to Rwanda

 


A Letter to the Rwandan People: Erica Barks-Ruggles, US Ambassador

Tuesday, 03 February 2015 17:06 by Erica Barks-Ruggles, US Ambassador
E-mail Print

Kigali: Muraho! After just one week in Rwanda, my heart has been warmed by the welcome that I have received and the beauty of the Rwandan people. Each person I have met has greeted me with sincere smiles and well wishes for the next three years serving my country as Ambassador to Rwanda. I have already sensed the deep hope Rwandans have for their future, and their heartfelt desire that the United States and Rwanda will continue to strengthen our relationship for the good of all Rwandans.

After 23 years serving my country in the State Department, I am honored that President Obama and Secretary Kerry have entrusted me to carry on the leadership of our efforts together as U.S. Ambassador to Rwanda. At the beginning of my time with you, I wanted to write this letter to introduce myself and answer the question I am asked most often.

Even before arriving in Kigali, people would frequently ask me what my goals are for my term as Ambassador. My primary goal is very simple: I want to strengthen and improve the work we do in partnership with all Rwandans to tackle the joint challenges we face in a globalized world and build a better future for both our countries.

As I told President Kagame and Foreign Minister Mushikiwabo this week, I am eager to travel widely throughout Rwanda and to hear from the all the people of Rwanda how best we can work together on the tough issues of our day. We have accomplished so much together, but there are still many challenges ahead. I want to meet people from all corners of Rwanda in order to learn how we can continue to strengthen our partnership.

From improving healthcare and literacy, to promoting economic growth and energy, from strengthening democratic institutions and good governance, to tackling climate change and improving regional security, we have much to work on together.

Twenty years after the 1994 genocide, the United States continues its long-standing commitment toward acknowledging all of the lives so tragically lost, and urges a spirit of tolerance and respect. For this reason, one of my first visits after presenting my credentials to the President was to the Kigali Memorial Center in Gisozi. There, I was inspired by the courage of ordinary Rwandans who survived - and of those who helped others - during that horrible chapter. And I am inspired each day by the hard work of every citizen to build a bright, secure and prosperous future in which all Rwandans have the opportunity to fulfill their potential.

The United States is proud to partner with Rwanda to support this growth. Our two nations have a deep relationship spanning issues that include economic growth, poverty reduction, public health, and peacekeeping. The United States is Rwanda's largest bilateral donor, spending about $180 million in Rwanda each year on health, economic development, education, and democracy and governance programs. This assistance, coupled with the commitment of Rwanda to tackling important challenges like HIV/AIDS and education reform, have helped Rwanda make significant progress in its recovery.

My experience in Africa has taught me the value of these partnerships, and I look forward to continuing to strengthen our friendship with the government and people of Rwanda.

As we move forward, I urge everyone to join in the conversation and follow me on Twitter (my handle is @USAmbRwanda), visit the Embassy website and Facebook pages, or come and visit us at the U.S. Embassy's Information Resource Center or one of our American Corners in Kigali and Rubavu.

I look forward to my time in Rwanda, and to talking with and working with as many of you as I can over the next three years.

[amakurunamateka.com] Rwanda: Global strategy webcast to free Victoire Ingabire ( Includes Audio)

 

Global strategy webcast to free Victoire Ingabire

Submitted by Ann Garrison on Mon, 02/02/2015 - 13:50

KPFA Weekend News, 02.01.2015

On January 1st, Friends of Victoire hosted an international webcast to strategize about how to free Rwandan political prisoner Victoire Ingabire. Participants included: nt journalist (USA):

- Mr Freddy Usabuwera: Friends of Victoire - Canada branch (Quebec) 
- Ms Marie Lyse Numuhoza: Friends of Victoire - Chairwoman (UK)
- Ms Perpetue Muramutse: International Network of Women for Democracy and Peace (RifDP)
- Mr Claude Gatebuke: President of African Great Lakes Action Network (Tennessee)  
- Ms Anneke Verbraeken: Dutch independent and investigative journalist (Holland)
- Ms Ann Garrison: Independent journalist (USA)

After the webcast, I filed this report for KPFA Radio.  
 
Transcript: 
KPFA Weekend News Anchor Anthony Fest:And turning now to news from Africa, over the weekend the organization Friends of Victoire hosted an international webcast to strategize about how to free Rwandan political prisoner Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza. Ingabire has become an icon of freedom, democracy and peace since returning to Rwanda in 2010 to attempt to stand for the presidency against incumbent Rwandan President Paul Kagame. Upon returning to her country, Ingabire said that she knew she would be either assassinated or imprisoned. She's now in prison, has been there since October of 2010, serving a 15 year sentence. KPFA's Ann Garrison joined the webcast organized by the London-based Friends of Victoire and then filed this report.  
 
KPFA/Ann Garrison: In 2010, during Rwanda's so-called election year, Victoire Ingabire could not have made her commitment to freedom and democracy more clear. A small, unarmed woman, she returned to Rwanda to face one of the most violent and repressive dictators in the world, asking only to stand for the presidency. She acted in the spirit of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, both of whom practiced disciplined nonviolent resistance to demonstrate the violence of repressive states. Dutch journalist Anneke Verbraeken told the webcast audience that she was glad to be joining this gathering organized by young Rwandans committed to peace. 
 
Anneke Verbraeken: I'm glad to participate in this discussion, because I think it is really important people of all colors, of all races are occupied with a peace process. I think what the world most needs now is peace. And so I'm very happy that some young, dynamic people from Rwanda took this initiative. 
 
KPFA: Verbraeken also said that she was investigating what she believed to be illegal actions by her own Netherlands government to persecute Rwandan refugees in collaboration with the government of Rwanda. 
 
Anneke Verbraeken: Our immigration service says, "Hey, we accuse you of genocide." They have no evidence at all, but as a consequence, the people who are accused of genocide lose their money, lose their jobs, lose their permits. So they are illegal after this accusation. And the Netherlands is really doing something wrong here. And it's not only the Netherlands. I just talked to Human Rights Watch yesterday, Anneke Van Woudenberg, and she said what Netherlands is doing now is happening in some other countries. The countries are using their legal systems to evict people to Rwanda.  

And the problem is, a few years ago the European Court [of Human Rights] said "Well, hey, Rwanda is a good country you can send people back to because the justice system is OK and the prisons are OK." 
 
We all know the justice system is not independent from government. We all know the prisons are not OK. 
 
KPFA: Verbraeken said that she had been allowed to visit Victoire very briefly in prison, where they were allowed to speak only English, the official business language of Rwanda, not French or Dutch, and to speak only of personal and family matters, not politics. Verbraeken said that Victoire is held in solitary confinement, with her windows painted black, but that she appeared stronger, more radiant and beautiful than ever and that she was writing every day.  
 
Marie Lyse Numuhoza, the founder of London-based Friends of Victoire said that now, five years after Victoire's imprisonment, it is time to stop simply admiring her and organize in solidarity.  
 
Marie Lyse Numuhoza: Well, for us at Friends of Victoire, and for all the people who love Victoire Ingabire, and who have followed her courageous actions to go back to Rwanda, 2015 is a special year. She's been in that country for five years advancing peace. That's what Friends of Victoire has started for. We call for all Rwandans, friends of Rwanda, all peace loving individuals across the world, to come and join the campaign towards the freedom of Ingabire as well as other prisoners of conscience.
 
KPFA: Friends of Victoire are online at friendsofvictoire.org, where anyone who wishes to join the campaign for her freedom can sign up for a mailing list, learn more about Victoire, and find help organizing in their own communities.  
 
For Pacifica, KPFA and AfrobeatRadio, I'm Ann Garrison.

[amakurunamateka.com] Ibibazo bya Congo byizweho mu nama y’ abakuru b’ ibihugu yabaye mu muhezo

 


Ibibazo bya Congo byizweho mu nama y' abakuru b' ibihugu yabaye mu muhezo


Yanditswe: 1/02/2015 saa 09:26:01 |Yasuwe incuro: 29617 


Inama y' abakuru b' ibihugu mu muryango w' Ubumwe bwa Afurika yabaye kuri uyu wa gatandatu tariki 31 Mutarama 2015 i Addis Abbeba muri Ethiopie, yasuzumiye hamwe aho masezerano y' amahoro mu karere k' ibiyaga bigari ageze ashyirwa mu bikorwa, by' umwihariko muri Repubulika iharanira Demokarsi ya Congo.

Umunyamabanga mukuru w' umuryango w' abibumbye Ban Ki-yayoboye iyi nama, yari yitabiriwe n' abayobozi b' ibihugu barimo uwa Tanzaniya, visi perezida wa Angola na komiseri ushinzwe amahoro n' umutekano mu muryango w' Ubumwe bwa Afurika.

Ingingo y' umunsi yari ukwigira hamwe ikibazo cyo kurwanya FDLR, nyuma y' uko leta ya Congo itangaje ibitero ku nyeshyamba zigize uyu mutwe ushinjwa uruhare muri Jenoside yakorewe abatutsi mu Rwanda mu 1994.

Ibi bitero n' ubwo ngo byatangajwe ko bitangiye, bigomba gukorwa ariko ntibinyuranye n' amategeko arengera abasivili mu ntambara.

Afurika y' Epfo na Tanzaniya zagaragaje impungenge ku itangizwa ry' ibitero kuri FDLR ko abasivili bashobora kwicwa, kandi ibi bihugu byari byitezweho uruhare mu gusenya FDLR, nk' ibihugu bifite abasirikare mu ngabo zagiye mu bikorwa byo guhangana n' imitwe yitwaje intwaro, ikorera mu burasirazuba bwa Repubulika iharanira Demokarasi ya Congo.

Umwe mu bahagarariye ibihugu byabo wari muri iyi nama yaberaga mu muhezo, yavuze ko ku mpande z' ibi bihugu byongeye kugaragaza impungenge bisanganwe ko urugamba rwo kurwanya FDLR ruzaba rugoranye bikomeye kurusha n' urwatsinsuye M23.

Afurika y' Epfo igaragaza impungenge ko muri Congo hashobora kongera kuba nk' ibyabaye mu 2009, ubwo abasivili bicwaga, amazu agatwikwa n' abagore bagafatwa ku ngufu.

Umunyamabanga mukuru w' umuryango w' abibumbye kandi yasabye ko abakuru b' ibihugu bari kurangiza manda zabo mu karere k' ibiyaga bigari, bakwiye kubaha ugushaka kw' abaturage babo, nyuma y' uko aheruka kuburira abaperezida bahindura itegeko nshinga cyangwa bakagundira ubutegetsi.

Mu gihe hatangajwe ibitero kuri FDLR kandi, umuryango w' abibumbye uravuga ko wakoze inyigo igamije kurengera abasivili bari mu duce tubarizwamo FDLR, gusa mu mipangire y' urugamba kuri FDLR mu ngabo za FARDC, biravugwa ko nta ruhare ruzwi umuryango w' abibumbye uzagira muri ibi bitero.

-“The root cause of the Rwandan tragedy of 1994 is the long and past historical ethnic dominance of one minority ethnic group to the other majority ethnic group. Ignoring this reality is giving a black cheque for the Rwandan people’s future and deepening resentment, hostility and hatred between the two groups.”
