Israel ifata Hamas nk'uko u Rwanda rufata FDLR- Amb Einat Weiss
Ferdinand Maniraguha
Ambasaderi wa Israel mu Rwanda, Einat Weiss, yatangaje ko igihugu cye gifata umutwe wa Hamas ubarizwa muri Gaza nk'uw'iterabwoba kandi ukwiriye kurandurwa, nk'uko u Rwanda rufata umutwe wa FDLR ubarizwa mu Burasirazuba bwa Congo.
Ni mu gihe hashize iminsi 33 hatangiye intambara hagati y'Ingabo za Israel (IDF) n'umutwe wa Hamas, biturutse ku gitero abarwanyi basaga ibihumbi bitatu ba Hamas bagabye kuri Israel mu rukerera rw'itariki 7 Ukwakira, bagahitana abasaga 1400.
Israel yahise yihimura itangiza intambara kuri Hamas ndetse ingabo zayo zinjira ku butaka bwa Gaza, igamije gukurikirana abagize uwo mutwe ifata nk'uw'iterabwoba.
Ambasaderi Einat Weiss yavuze ko bibabaje kuba hari benshi bakomeje kwirengagiza ukuri k'uburyo Israel yageze muri Gaza. Yavuze ko iyo Hamas idatera Israel ngo yice n'abaturage bayo bunyamaswa, bitari kuba ngombwa ko ijyayo.
Ati "Israel igendera ku mahame mpuzamahanga. Niba ibindi bihugu byumva byajya muri Iraq, Syria n'ahandi, hagira ikiba kuri Amerika bakajya muri Afghanistan, ese ibyo ni amategeko mpuzamahanga? Baratubwira ngo hari uburyo bwiza bwo gukoramo intambara, ariko kwirinda ni ibintu bireba buri wese ku Isi na Israel irimo."
Yavuze ko akamaro k'igisirikare cya Israel ari ukurinda abaturage bayo, bityo ko ibyo barimo muri Gaza ari ugushwanyuza Hamas ku buryo itazongera kubangamira umutekano w'abaturage bayo.
Ati "Dufite igisirikare, inshingano zacyo ni ukurinda abasivile […] ibihugu byabayeho ngo bibashe kurinda abaturage babyo. Nk'ubu abaturage mu Majyaruguru ya Israel bari guhunga ingo zabo kubera ko bari kuraswaho na Hezbollah."
Israel yabanje gukoresha ibitero byo mu kirere irasa ku hantu ikeka ko hari ibirindiro bya Hamas n'ahacurirwa imigambi y'uwo mutwe uterwa inkunga n'ibihugu birimo Iran.
Weiss yavuze ko kugira ngo Umunyarwanda abyumve neza uburyo Israel iri kwirwanaho, umutwe wa Hamas ubabangamiye nk'uko FDLR ibangamiye u Rwanda.
Ati "Turi kurwana n'umutwe w'iterabwoba. Reka dufate urugero, u Rwanda ruhanganye na FDLR, hanyuma ibaze kuba wabona Isi iri kunenga u Rwanda, byaba ari ubusazi kuko FDLR nta mahame mpuzamahanga igenderaho."
Yakomeje agira ati "Mutekereze nk'abantu babaye bari guhunga ku mupaka w'u Rwanda na Congo, Uganda, Burundi cyangwa Tanzania, byaba bivuze ko hari ikibazo. Bivuze ko mu ngo zabo nta mutekano bahafite. Igisirikare kizakora akazi kacyo ko kujya guhiga ababiri inyuma. Ni inshingano za buri gihugu."
Israel isanzwe igaburira Gaza amazi, umuriro, ibikomoka kuri peteroli n'ibindi by'ibanze. Ubwo intambara yatangiraga, Israel yavuze ko bimwe izabihagarika kuko nk'ibikomoka kuri peteroli byifashishwaga Hamas ikora ibisasu cyangwa yoroherwa mu migambi yayo.
Ntabwo Israel yabihagaritse byose kuko nk'amazi n'umuriro biracyarekurwa nubwo bigenzurirwa hafi n'inzego z'umutekano za Israel.
Ambasaderi Einat Weiss yavuze ko nta handi ku Isi byabaye ko uwo murwana umufasha kubona ibyangombwa by'ibanze.
Ati "Ese mwigeze mubona ahandi Guverinoma irwana n'uwo yita umwanzi wayo, ariko igakomeza kumuhereza umuriro n'amazi? Twemeye gutanga inzira yo kunyuzamo imfashanyo binyuze ku mupaka wa Rafah. Dukomeje kohereza amazi nubwo atari menshi nka mbere n'umuriro. Ese hari ikindi gihugu muzi cyabikoze?"
Abajijwe ku gihe ingabo za Israel zizavira muri Gaza, Weiss yavuze ko nta wabimenya kuko batarasoza intambara, batabohoje abaturage basaga 250 Hamas yashimuse.
Yavuze kandi ko bazava muri Gaza bamaze kwizera ko Hamas nta bushobozi igifite bwo kwiyuburura ngo iteze ibibazo Israel.
Ambasaderi Einat Weiss yashimye uburyo u Rwanda rwaberetse ko rushyigikiye igihugu cye, gusa asaba ko rukomeza kubigaragaza mu rwego mpuzamahanga.
Imibare ya Minisiteri y'Ubuzima muri Gaza igaragaza ko Abanya-Palestine basaga ibihumbi icumi bamaze kwicwa n'ibitero bya Israel, nubwo ari imibare itaremezwa ku ruhando mpuzamahanga.
IGIHE yabashije kubona amashusho y'ubugome igitero Hamas yagabye kuri Israel cyakoranywe, ari nabyo bivugwa ko byazamuye uburakari bw'icyo gihugu. Agaragaza bamwe mu barwanyi ba Hamas binjira muri Israel, uburyo bagendaga barasa abaturage basanze mu muhanda, mu buriri n'ahandi, bamwe bakabica babaciye imitwe.
Hari nk'aho igitero gitangira bageze mu rugo rw'umuturage mbere yo kumwica bakabanza kurasa imbwa ye yari ku muryango.
Amashusho kandi yerekana uburyo abarwanyi ba Hamas binjiye ahaberaga igitaramo mu Majyepfo ya Israel, barasa uwo babonye wese ari naho bamwe mu bafashwe bugwate bakuwe.
Ambasaderi Weiss yavuze ko uko u Rwanda rufata FDLR ariko bafata Hamas kuko ari umutwe w'Iterabwoba

Ultra-Processed Food as Addictive as Alcohol and Tobacco, Especially in Children
Ultra-processed foods hold a hidden addiction, impacting health and strategically targeting children through industry tactics.

Parents have seen it before: children stashing snack wrappers under their beds or sneaking an extra candy bar. But recent science suggests this might be more than just youthful mischief.
The Thin Line: Craving vs. Addiction
The occasional craving for a sweet or salty snack is familiar to many. But when does this urge cross into addiction? A comprehensive review of 281 global studies, published in The BMJ, suggests the line might be finer than we think.
The research used the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS), developed in 2009, drawing parallels between criteria for substance abuse and food addiction. This tool helps ascertain whether one's relationship with foods like pizza and ice cream can indeed be classified as an addiction.
The studies uncovered a striking resemblance between the addictive qualities of ultra-processed foods and those of alcohol and tobacco. While alcohol and tobacco have addiction rates of 14 percent and 18 percent, respectively, ultra-processed foods match closely with a 14 percent addiction rate among adults. However, "the level of implied addiction in children is unprecedented," at a staggering 12 percent. That means about 1 in 1 in 8 children qualify as addicted to ultra-processed foods.
Ultra-processed foods take a heightened toll on those with particular health conditions. A third of individuals undergoing bariatric surgery for obesity and half of those tackling binge eating disorders grapple with food addiction, the authors revealed.
The Hidden Lure of Ultra Processed Foods
Ultra-processed foods, or UPFs, have seamlessly woven themselves into our daily diets. Packed with refined sugars, fats, and an array of additives, they're designed not just to tempt our taste buds, but to make us return for seconds, thirds, and more.
Ashley Gearhardt, Ph.D., an associate professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, delves into the deceptive nature of UPFs, describing them as more of an 'industrial concoction' than food.
"When you look at the back of the ingredient list, it looks more like a chemical science experiment than it does a food," she remarked on a podcast. "You don't really recognize most of what goes into it."
The allure of UPFs lies in their impact on our brain's reward system, similar to addictive substances. Much like nicotine, consuming these foods triggers a dopamine rush, fueling a relentless craving for more.
Ms. Gearhardt emphasizes the vulnerability of our brains, especially when exposed to these addictive substances at a young age. "The earlier the exposure, the higher the likelihood of developing problems," she cautions.
The analysis underscores the enticing mix of carbohydrates and fats in UPFs. While an apple is primarily carbohydrates and salmon is rich in fats, a chocolate bar masterfully blends both. This near-equal ratio supercharges the addictive appeal.
"The combination of refined carbohydrates and fats often found in UPFs seems to have a supra-additive effect on brain reward systems," the study points out.
Moreover, the speed at which UPFs deliver pleasure is crucial. Designed for quick consumption, they deliver a swift dopamine hit, contrasting with the slower nutrient release from minimally processed foods like nuts, which tempers addictive urges.
The 'Bliss Point': The Food Industry's Crafty Playbook
Behind the scenes of these irresistible snacks is a multi-billion dollar industry, constantly innovating to strike the right balance of sweetness, saltiness, and fattiness—the so-called "bliss point." This goes beyond mere culinary expertise, it's a calculated science aimed at heightening our cravings.
Does this strategy ring a bell? It mirrors tactics once used by tobacco companies, from downplaying health risks to zealously targeting the youth. Much like the vibrant tobacco advertisements of the past, food conglomerates today focus on enticing children, ensuring they're hooked early on.
This may not be coincidental. Faced with strict regulations, tobacco firms strategically transitioned into the food sector. Former tobacco giant Phillip Morris pivoted to food, merging Kraft-General Foods and Nabisco to produce well-known brands such as Oreo, Ritz, Betty Crocker, and Oscar Meyer.
A new study sheds light on how, from 1988 to 2001, these companies strategically flooded the market with products rich in fats, sodium, and carbohydrates, enticing consumers with addictive hyper-palatable foods (HPFs).
Study author Tera Fazzino, PhD, clarifies the distinction between ultra-processed and hyper-palatable foods. She explains that ultra-processed foods are defined by their extensive industrial processing. On the other hand, hyper-palatable foods create an "exaggerated or artificially rewarding eating experience" through their nutrient combinations.
Fazzino emphasizes that while many ultra-processed foods are hyper-palatable, they are "separable constructs." Even homemade meals, such as an "omelet with added bacon, cheese, oil, and salt," can fall into this category.
The study disclosed that foods from tobacco companies were 29 percent more likely to be high in fat and sodium and 80 percent more likely to contain elevated levels of carbohydrates and sodium. This trend persists, with the market still flooded with HPFs.
As of 2018, more than 75 percent of U.S. branded foods were identified as hyper-palatable, according to Fazzino. She suggests that the market's saturation with these foods results from competitor companies strategically reformulating their products. "Competitor companies likely observed the successes of tobacco brands and reformulated their products to remain competitive," she explains.
This shift coincided with longstanding marketing practices aimed at engaging young consumers. Iconic mascots like Tony the Tiger have long captured the attention of children. The entry of tobacco firms into the food sector may have amplified such marketing efforts, intensifying the push to attract children through advertising.
Dr. Chris van Tulleken, author of "Ultra-Processed People," criticizes this aggressive marketing aimed at children. "It should be illegal. It is certainly unethical. It is unquestionably exploitative and predatory," he tells The Epoch Times.
He further emphasizes that the driving force behind UPFs is not nutrition, but rather corporate greed. "The purpose of UPF is to generate financial growth for the shareholders of these companies. This financial obligation is the explanation for why the food is the way it is," he explains, drawing attention to the profit-driven motives behind UPFs' prevalence.
Ms. Gearhardt concurs, noting the aggressive marketing towards children, particularly children of color. "It's not about the calories. It starts to be about hedonics, pleasure, and emotional regulation, from a very young age," she states, underscoring the deep-rooted impact of UPFs.
Are You Addicted?
Wondering if your relationship with food is a casual fling or something more concerning? The Yale Food Addiction Scale can help you delve deeper.
This 25-question survey is designed to identify signs of potential food addiction, focusing on symptoms like uncontrollable cravings, withdrawal, and continued consumption despite negative consequences. Questions such as, "In the last 12 months, has overeating caused problems with family or friends?" offer insights into your eating habits.
The YFAS isn't one-size-fits-all. Tailored versions like the YFAS-C cater to children with age-appropriate queries, while the updated YFAS 2.0 aligns closely with the latest criteria for substance dependence.
In today's world, where indulgence often tiptoes into addiction, these tools empower us with self-awareness. Armed with insights into industry tactics and personal vulnerabilities, we can navigate food choices more wisely.
