Muri iyi nyandiko turifuza kubanza kwibukiranya amateka y’ukuntu Umwami aheze

ishyanga, hanyuma tubagezeho ibyerekeranye n’ibiganiro yagiranye n’intumwa za

leta ya Kigali ku byerekeye itahuka rye.

Twibukiranye

Abanyarwanda bakwiriye kumenya ukuri ku mateka y’igihugu cyabo. Nkuko

Umwami yabisobanuye kenshi, ntabwo yigeze yirukanwa n’abanyarwanda

kuko byose byakozwe n’Ababiligi, ari nabo bari bafite ubutegetsi mu Rwanda icyo

gihe.

Ubwa mbere Umwami yasohotse mu Rwanda muli 1960, agiye kureba

umunyamabanga mukuru wa Loni witwa Dag Hammarskjold wari waje i

Kinshasa mu minsi mikuru y’ubwigenge bwa Kongo. Yagirango amusabe kumufasha

kugarura umutekano mu gihugu cyari kirimo amakimbirane atejwe ahanini n’abari

bahagarariye Leta y’ UBubiligi. Bamaze kubonana, Umwami yabujijwe kugaruka

mu gihugu cye bikozwe n’Ababiligi babinyujije mu itangazo kuri radio i Bujumbura.

Hagati aho Umunyamabanga wa loni amutumaho ko yaza i New York agasobanura

ikibazo cy’uRwanda n’Ababiligi. Umwami yahise ajya i New York kugeza ikibazo cy’

u Rwanda ku muryango w’Abibumbye (Loni).

Umwami yagarutse mu Rwanda avuye mu nama ya Loni, yari imaze

Gutora Resolutions 1579 na 1580 zemezaga ko asubira mu Rwanda nk’Umwami,

hakazakorwa amatora ya kamarampaka nawe ari mu gihugu cye. Akigera mu

Rwanda, Ababiligi bahise bamusohora ku ngufu, bamwuliza indege ya kajugujugu

bamujyana i Bujumbura mu Burundi, bamumenyeshako batazamwemerera

gusubira mu Rwanda. Umwami ntiyongeye kugaruka mu gihugu, yavuye i Burundi

akomeza inzira y’ubuhunzi.

Kuva muri iyo myaka yose amaze mu buhunzi Umwami ntacyo atakoze agira inama

za leta zabayeho zose kugirango zirangize ikibazo cy’impunzi mu mahoro nawe

arimo. Ntiyigeze ahwema gusaba leta y’u Rwanda kubonera umuti nyawo ibibazo

bitera ubuhunzi; kugirango abana b’u Rwanda badakomeza guhunga urwababyaye.

Ibihugu byose Umwami yabayemo, byamwakiriye neza kandi biranamwubaha maze

nawe agafasha impunzi z’abanyarwanda kubona amashuli n’imibereho myiza.

Umwami yakomeje gusaba ko habaho inama (table ronde) yo kwiga neza itahuka

ry’impunzi zose z’abanyarwanda, zigatahuka mu mahoro; nyamara na n’ubu

abanyarwanda bakomeza guhunga bajya mu mahanga. Twongere twibutse kandi dushimangire ko Umwami atigeze ashyikigira ko impunzi zitahuka hamenetse

amaraso. Na n’ubu yemera ko Inama table ronde ikwiye kubaho ibibazo byose

by’ubuhunzi bikigwa ndetse n’impamvu zitera ubuhunzi zigakurwaho burundu.

Imishyikirano n’intumwa za leta kw’itahuka ry’Umwami.

Ku birebana n’uko muri iy’ minsi ishize hari intumwa za Leta y’u Rwanda zaje

kureba Umwami ziyobowe na Pasterur Ezra Mpyisi, ibi byabayeho ariko ntagishya

bazanye mubyo Umwami yari yarabasabye gutunganya. Twabibutsa ko atari ubwa

mbere habaho imibonano nk’iyo kuko muri 1996 habanje Paul Kagame akiri Visi

Prezida, icyo gihe mu biganiro yagiranye n’Umwami kubyerekeranye n’ikibazo

cy’itahuka rye, Umwami yamusobanuriye ko nawe yifuza gutaha, ariko ko bigomba

gukorwa mu mucyo, ntibibe mu mwiherero. Umwami yasabye ko ikibazo

kimenyeshwa abanyarwanda, hakanakurwaho inzitizi zari mu mategeko, cyane

cyane mu itegekonshinga, dore ko n’icyo gihe ari itegekonshinga ryo kuri

Republika ya kabili igihugu cyagenderagaho. Visi Prezida yemeye ko agiye

kubivugana na Leta ye bakabikora. Umwami yategereje igisubizo ntiyagira icyo

abona kugeza n’ubu; ahubwo akumva ko hari abahohoterwa bazira ko bavuze

cyangwa banditse ku kibazo cy’Umwami; Ndetse hakurikiyeho za discours

z’abategetsi bakomeye bamwe na bamwe, bavuga ibinyuranye kure n’ibyo

bavuganye na Visi Perezida kwitahuka rye. Uko kutavugisha ukuri bibangamiye

benshi kandi biteye urujijo.

Ejobundi nabwo, Umwami yongeye kugeza kuri Pasteri Mpyisi ibyifuzo bye,

amwibutsa ko nk’uko yali yabyumvikanyeho na Paul Kagame muli 1996, itahuka

rye rikwiye kumenyeshwa abanyarwanda, agataha ku mugaragaro. Yahakaniye

Pasteri Mpyisi nabagenzi be baje bavuga ko Umwami yafata Pension (ikiruhuko)

bakamuha ibyo yifuza byose (inzu,amamodoka, n’ibindi ). Yababwiye ko ibintu

ataribyo akeneye ko ikimubabaje arugushakira amahoro abanyarwanda bose ntawe

uhejwe. Naho abavuga cyangwa bandika ko Umwami haribyo yari yemeye mbere

ntakuri kurimo. Yongeye kandi kugaragaza ko yifuza ko impunzi z’abanyarwanda

ziri hirya no hino mu mahanga zataha mu mahoro.

Ni muri urwo rwego Umwami yongeye gusaba Abanyarwanda ko baharanira

umuco wabo mwiza wabarangaga, ariwo unshingiye ku gukundana, kubahana,

kwirinda ibinyoma no guhemuka, bakarwanya amacakubili maze bakarushaho

kunga ubumwe byo shingiro y’amahoro arambye.

Bikorewe i Washington DC, 16/12/2014
