WASHINGTON DC: ANTI-KAGAME RALLY AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Lafayette Park, The White House

Rwandan, Burundian and Congolese opposition political parties and civil society organizations operating in the United States of America have pooled their efforts together to denounce Kagame's visit to the White House.

One may wonder how did this renowned criminal -also known as the African Hitler- end up on the Obama's guest list. Paul Kagame's human rights abuses, his dictatorship against the Rwandan people, his criminal record in Rwanda and broad are not consistent with the American values and ideals. In many regards, Paul Kagame is worse than Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and other dictators who were not invited to Washington. 

Paul Kagame is a corrupt leader who has embezzled millions of public funds to finance his lavish lifestyle. He has killed and/or imprisoned hundreds of journalists and his political opponents, including prominent opposition leaders such as Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza of FDU-Inkingi, Deo Mushayidi of PDP-Imanzi and Bernard Ntaganda of PS-Imberakuri, just to name a few. He has sent his army to DRC and has used child soldiers and war proxies to loot natural resources, rape women, terrorize the population or kill anyone opposed to his criminal enterprise. As a result, more than 6 million Congolese and Rwanda refugees have been killed in DRC.

Dear African friends, Congolese, Burundian and Rwandan of North America, let's unite in this critical moments so that we may get rid the Great Lakes region of this dictator. Join many other freedom fighters across North America who vowed to free in no time all of the oppressed and voiceless people of Rwanda, Congo and Burundi. This is a great opportunity for all of us to proudly show our commitment to the peaceful struggle for peace, freedom and democracy in the Great Lakes region of Africa.

FW: [RwandaLibre] Re: *DHR* Kigali: Umuseke

 

Nuko ngo shitani ijyana Yezu ku musozi muremuremure maze imwereka iminara y'ubwami bw'isi. Iramubwira iti " Pfukama unsenge ndaguha ibi byose!"

Yezu arayireba,  araseka avuga ati "Hoshi, igirayo Shitani. Hasengwa Immana Data wenyine. Kandi ntugashake gushuka Immana yawe. "  

 

None se halya iyi minara itaniye he niyo Habyarimana yali yarubatse,  niyo Ghadafi yali yarubatse i Tripoli, niyo Abasiliya bali barubatse Aleppo, niyo Abagazaruwi bali barubatse muli band de Gaza? Ubu se hafi ya yose ntiyasutswe hasi bidatwaye n'imyaka itanu? 

 

Kigali ishoboye yarata ubusabane n'ubwunvikane hagati y'abanyarwanda, ikarata ko yabonye umuvuno utuma abanyamahanga batazongera gushaka guhindura Urwanda umuyonga, naho ibyo aya mazu byo ntagitangaza, ntaho bitaniye n'ibyo shitani yabeshyeshyaga Yezu!  

Ubwunvikane, politiki nziza kandi idasenya inahohotera abantu bibonetse i Rwanda, abanyarwanda bifatiye ubundi bwenegihugu bakagira icyizere cyo kuza kubaka kw'ivuko ntibabanyanganye nk'ibyo kwa Ayabatwa cyangwa se kwa Kabuga, aliya magorofa aboneka ubu yahita ahubwo yikuba inshuro ijana mu mwaka umwe!

Kigali ni nziza! Isuku, amazu mashya maremare kandi meza, quartier zigezweho, imihanda mishya itatse amatara, ubusitani ku mihanda… ni bimwe mu byiza ubona iyo utembere umujyi wa Kigali wigendagendera 'inyuma'. Uramutse uvuye Kampala, Abidjan cyangwa Kinshasa wakwikundira i Kigali aho uhumeka neza. Ariko iyo winjiye imbere muri za quartier za rubanda rusanzwe uhasanga indi Kigali idasa n'iyo wabonye.

Ngo ni ibisanzwe no mu yindi mijyi bibayo. Nibyo abanyarwanda bakwiye?

Ni ibisanzwe ku mijyi myinshi muri Africa ko habaho ibice bituwe mu kajagari, bibamo umwanda ukabije, bicururizwamo ibiyobyabwenge, bibamo indaya n'utubari tubi cyane byinshi, utwana twinshi ku mihanda, insoresore zirakaye zuzuye amarangi ku mubiri n'ibindi bidaha isura nziza umujyi.

Gusa mu mpinduramatwara u Rwanda rurimo ibi ntibikwiye kandi ntibikwiye kwitwa ibisanzwe nk'uko ahandi mu karere no muri Africa byifashe.

I Kigali hari uduce twinshi tumaze kuba icyitegererezo mu myubakire igezweho ndetse n'impinduka ikomeye ku mujyi mwiza, hari ariko utundi duce winjiramo ukagirango ntabwo ari i Kigali, abahatuye ariko usanga bavuga ko ahubwo aribo banyakigali.

Imiturire iteye ubwoba, umwanda ukabije, ubwiherero buteye inkeke n'ibindi bibi bitari ibyo abanyarwanda bakwiye nk'uko abayobozi bakunda kubivuga.

"Ibibi sibyo abanyarwanda bakwiye, bakwiye ibyiza", aya ni amagambo akunda kugarukwaho na Perezida Paul Kagame, ariko iyo bigeze mu bayobozi bo mu nzego zo hasi ye, usanga bo basubiza bati "Biriya ni ibisanzwe n'ahandi mu bindi bihugu birahari, ariko turi gukora ibishoboka ngo bimere neza, ingamba zarafashwe". Nuko imyaka ikicuma ahitwa 'mu kajagari' hakitwa gutyo, ahitwa 'Ndjamena' hakitwa 'Ndjamena' bityo bityo…

Umuyobozi ushinzwe imiturire mu mujyi wa Kigali Liliane Uwanziga Mupende yabwiye Umuseke ko ikibazo cy'imiturire idahwitse ubuyobozi bw'Umujyi wa Kigali bwaguhagurukiye gusa atari ikintu cyo gukemura ako kanya kuko ngo guha isura nshya umujyi bizakorwa mu byiciro bizajya bifatwa muri buri myaka itanu.

Hashingiwe ku gishushanyo mbonera, ku ikubitro ibice byo mu mujyi rwa gati aho bakunze kwita muri " Quartier Commercial" na " Quartier Matheus" no mu bice biri kugenda byubakwamo amazu agiye umujyo umwe.

Mu bice bituwemo kandi by'akajagari, Uwanziga Mupende avuga ko n'ubwo hari hasanzwe hariho gahunda yo gukangurira abafite inyubako bigaragara ko zishaje kuzivugurura ariko hazanashyirwaho uburyo bwo kuvugurura ku rwego rusange mu gihe ikiciro cyaho kizaba kigezweho.

Asobanura uburyo iri vugururwa rizakorwa yagize ati " mu bice bisanzwe bituwemo nk'i Nyamirambo, mu gihe ikiciro cyaho kizagerwaho nabwo hazashyirwaho igishushanyo mbonera cy'inyubako zihakenewe ariko zidatandukanye cyane n'izari zihasanzwe kugira ngo umwimerere w'aka gace ugume ari wa wundi ndetse n'ibisanzwe bihakorerwa ntibihinduke".

Gusa ngo hazashyirwaho korohereza abaturage mu myubakire nk'uko yakomeje abitangaza agira ati " turi kugenda twiga uburyo buboneye buzakoreshwa, ku buryo abaturage bazaba badafite ubushobozi buhagije bazajya bashyirwa mu matsinda bakubakira hamwe kugira ngo n'uwari ufite ubuso buto bitewe n'ibyo atunze  abonereho".

Ngo hari kwigwa kandi uko ahantu runaka hakenewe kubakwa hazajya hahabwa umushoramari akubaka inyubako zisabwa ku buryo yaba ari iy'amagorofa maze umuturage agahabwa aho kuba ariko hangana n'ubuso yari asanganywe nta mafaranga atanze.

Ku bijyanye n'isuku nke igaragara muri za quartier zimwe na zimwe, Uwanziga Liliane Mupende yavuze ko hasanzwe hariho itsinda rigenzura ibijyanye n'isuku mu bice bitandukanye by'umujyi wa Kigali icyo gukora ari ukubasaba kwikubita agashyi bagakorana n'inzego z'ibanze mu kubungabunga isuku muri Kigali hose.

Nubwo impinduka z'umujyi wa Kigali zisa n'izireba abayobozi, abaturage nabo hari ibyo baba bakwiye kwikorera, cyane cyane isuku aho batuye no muri quartier babamo kugira ngo umujyi wa Kigali use neza inyuma (ahaboneka) ndetse n'imbere (hirya muri za quartier).

Abaturage nidukore ibyo dukwiye gukora ibyo abayobozi bagomba gukora tuzajya tubibababaza… Impinduka ngo ni mu mutwe.

Imiturire myiza, ikwiye kandi igezweho iri kugenda igaragara i Kigali

Ama'quartier' mashya yubatse neza ari kuzamuka i Kigali

Inyubako nshya z'imiturire y'icyerekezo cy'umujyi

Aha naho ni i Kigali, imiturire myiza n'imiturire mibi ntibiri kwivangura kandi ni ahantu hari kubakwa bushya

Ku mihanda ihuza uduce dutandukanye harasa neza nubwo bigaragara ko inzu zihari zishaje

Gusa hari ikizere cy'impunduka kuko hari kubakwa inzu nk'izi buhoro buhoro ziri kuzisimbura

Aha ku muhanda ureba imiturire ihari ikakuyobera

Ni i Kigali naho

Kigali iteye amabengeza, atari ukubera amazu meza maremare cyane ahubwo kubera isuku itaba ahandi henshi

Hari kuzamuka amazu mashya azakomeza guhindura isura y'umujyi

i Kigali ariko inzu ziracyeye buri wese aracyeye kandi arasobanutse tutitaye ku ho ari buze gutaha

Inyubako ndende zitanga ikizere cy'isura nshya y'umujyi mu gihe kizaza

Imiturire igezweho kandi myiza mu bindi bice by'umujyi

Ku muryango gusa ushobora kwibaza ko ari ku rugo rw'Umwami atari kwa rubanda rusanzwe.

Ariko se hirya muri Quartier?

Ubwiherero nk'ubu buteye inkeke kandi bwerekana ikibazo cy'imiturire muri za quartier

Ukumva ngo ibiza byashenye amazu

Abatuye aha usanga aribo bitwa abanyakigali, ariko si aha bakwiye, si aha abanyarwanda bakwiye kuba

Aha ni Kabeza koko?

Imyanda bigaragara ko isaziye ku muhanda

i Nyamirambo iwabo w'abanyamujyi imiturire yaho ahenshi ni akajagari nubwo gasize irangi

Gusa hafi aho ukahasanga utujagari tw'amazu n'utuyira tubamo abantu benshi cyane

Aha ushobora kwibaza ko ari muri Atelier ariko ni aho abantu batuye. Imyumvire!

Hakuno imiturire ntisobanutse

Hakurya hari imiturire igezweho kandi ikwiye

Ubuyobozi bw'Umujyi buvuga ko hazagenda hubakwa amazu manini ashobora guturamo abantu benshi icya rimwe

Umujyi ukeneye imiturire igezweho kandi ikwiye nk'iyi

Gusa ntishobowe na benshi batuye gutya mu tujagari bategereje izo mpinduka ko zibagerahon'ubwo nabo hari iby'ibanze basabwa kwikorera nk'isuku

[AfricaWatch] New Book on Rwanda: Genocide Lives in Us: Women, Memory, and Silence in Rwanda, by Jennie E. Burnet

 

http://uwpress.wisc.edu/books/4931.htm

Genocide Lives in Us
Women, Memory, and Silence in Rwanda
Jennie E. Burnet

Women in Africa and the Diaspora
Aili Tripp and Stanlie James, Series Editors


"A profoundly empathetic and comprehensive narrative that goes to the bottom of Rwandans' everyday struggles triggered by a contextual and inevitable urge to face their own violent past."
—Aloys Habimana, Rwandan human rights lawyer

In the aftermath of the 1994 genocide, Rwandan women faced the impossible—resurrecting their lives amidst unthinkable devastation. Haunted by memories of lost loved ones and of their own experiences of violence, women slowly rebuilt their lives and traversed dangerous emotional and political terrain to emerge as leaders in Rwanda today. This clear and engaging ethnography of survival tackles three interrelated phenomena—memory, silence, and justice—and probes the contradictory roles women played in postgenocide reconciliation.

Based on over a decade of intensive fieldwork, Genocide Lives in Us provides a unique grassroots perspective on a postconflict society. Anthropologist Jennie E. Burnet relates ordinary Rwandan women's heart-wrenching stories of survival with sensitivity and uncovers political and historical themes in their personal narratives. Allowing the silenced voices of ordinary women to be heard, Burnet sheds light on women's incredible resilience. She concludes that women's leading role in Rwanda's renaissance emerged from the dire post-genocide situation that forced women into new roles, from advocacy by the Rwandan women's movement, and from the inclusion of women in the postgenocide government.

Jennie E. Burnet is assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Louisville. Her research focuses on women's roles in peace-building and democratization and on the long-term consequences of gender-based violence in conflict.

Praise:

"The stories of life in postgenocide Rwanda presented in this book are deeply touching and challenge the dominant discourse that portrays Rwanda as a simple story of successful postconflict rebuilding. This book is essential reading for anyone with interest in Rwanda and in the legacies of violence, gender, society, memory, and transitional justice."
—Timothy Longman, Boston University

"The most important contribution of this fine study is Burnet's conceptual breakthrough exploring the role of 'amplified silence.' Where the power of official discourse prevents many from mourning their losses, such silences speak loudly to those aware of them."
—Catharine Newbury, Smith College

To schedule an interview with the author or to request a review copy of the book, contact our publicity manager, phone: (608) 263-0734, email:publicity@uwpress.wisc.edu.

Of related interest: Remaking Rwanda State Building and Human Rights after Mass Violence Edited by Scott Straus and Lars Waldorf"This rich array of careful scholarship provides a valuable, multifaceted view of a country still struggling with the aftereffects of genocide and civil war. It offers an important corrective to the naively rosy picture of Rwanda that too often prevails in the American media."—Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold's Ghost
