Mu butumwa icyo gihugu cyashyize ahagaragara ku wa 7 Mata, umunsi byemejwe ko ari Umunsi Mpuzamahanga wo Kuzirikana kuri Jenoside Yakorewe Abatutsi mu 1994 mu Rwanda, Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika zakoresheje imvugo iheruka guhindurwa, bandika ubutumwa bavuga ko bugenewe umunsi wo “Kwibuka ku nshuro ya 24 Jenoside yo mu 1994 mu Rwanda”.

Mu mwanya nk’uyu, turibuka ababuze ubuzima bwabo tunaha icyubahiro umuhate w’abemeye gushyira ubuzima bwabo mu kaga ngo barokore abandi.”

Nyamara ku wa 23 Mutarama 2018, Inteko Rusange y’Umuryango w’Abibumbye yafashe umwanzuro ko tariki ya 7 Mata, uzaba “Umunsi Mpuzamahanga wo Kuzirikana kuri Jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi mu 1994 mu Rwanda”, hahindurwa inyito y“Umunsi Mpuzamahanga wo kuzirikana kuri Jenoside yo mu 1994 mu Rwanda” yari yarashyizweho n’umwanzuro 58/234 wo ku wa 23 Ukuboza 2003 bigatangira gukoreshwa mu 2004.

Ubwo uwo mwanzuro wemezwaga, Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika n’Umuryango w’Ubumwe bw’u Burayi, byashatse kuwubangamira, bavuga ko kongeramo ijambo “yakorewe abatutsi”, bidatanga umwanya wo kwibuka abantu bose bishwe muri icyo gihe.

Ambasaderi w’u Rwanda mu Muryango w’Abibumbye, Valentine Rugwabiza, yavuze ko mu nyito yari isanzwe hongewemo ko ari Jenoside “yakorewe Abatutsi”, kugira ngo bikureho urujijo.

Yakomeje agira ati “Kugaragaza ibyabaye n’amagambo akoreshwa ni ingenzi cyane igihe havugwa kuri jenoside. Amayeri yo guhakana no gupfobya Jenoside arazwi neza. Abantu barimo n’abayigizemo uruhare bakunze kuvuga ko habayeho Jenoside ebyiri bibwira ko kuvuga ibyo byabakuraho uruhare bayigizemo.”

Iyo ngingo yatinzweho cyane bitewe n’uko muri uko kwibuka Jenoside, hari abavugaga ko kongeraho ko yakorewe Abatutsi byatuma hatazirikanwa abandi batari Abatutsi ariko bishwe mu gihe Jenoside yakorwaga, bazizwa ko batari bashyigikiye uwo mugambi mubisha.
