Si ubwa mbere wumvise ko muri jenoside yakorewe abatutsi bo mu Rwanda muri 1994, mu bicaga abatutsi babatemagura harimo n'abatutsi ariko birashoboka ko ari ubwa mbere haboneka umututsi ubyemerera mu rukiko imbere y'amategeko.
Turi ku munsi wa 28 w'urubanza rw'abakekwaho ibyaha bya "jenoside yo mu Rwanda"(niko inkiko ziyita) cyangwa "jenoside yakorewe abatutsi " gusa (nk'uko mu Rwanda bayita). Abakurikiranwa mu rukiko rw'i Buruseli mu Bubiligi ni bwana Pierre Basabose na bwana Séraphin Twahirwa.
Mu nterahamwe zishe abatutsi harimo n'abatutsi
Mu batangabuhamya urukiko rwumvise,harimo interahamwe ruharwa yamaze abatutsi kandi nayo ari umututsi. Ese haba hari abatutsi bakoze jenoside yakorewe abatutsi? Uyu mututsi arabyemeza kandi akavuga ko n'umukuru w'interahamwe mu gihugu cyose ubwe yari umututsi.
Yitwa Vital Mucanda uzwi ku kazina ka Kivumbi, umugabo w'imyaka 75 wamaze gukatirwa igifungio cya burundu kubera ibyaha bya jenoside akaba afungiye muri gereza yo mu Rwanda,yatanze ubuhamya bwe mu rukiko rw'i Buruseli mu Bubiligi hakoreshejwe ubuhanga bwa videwo.
Vital Mucanda (izina rya gitutsi koko) mu ijwi rito kandi bigaragara ko nta magara mazima afite, yavuze ko yari incuti magara y'undi mututsi witwaga Robert Kajuga wari umuyobozi mukuru w'Interahamwe ku rwego rw'igihugu icyo gihe, yemeza ko bose bari Abatutsi bakomeye mu Nterahamwe kandi ko Abatutsi mu Nterahamwe bari benshi cyane,ibintu abanyarwanda benshi batabwiwe.
Umututsi Robert kajuga,umukuru w'Interahamwe zose mu Rwanda
We ubwe yemera ibyaha,akemera ko yagiye mu Nama nyinshi z'Interahamwe kandi agashinja bwana Twahirwa ko nawe yabaga ahari kuko "yafatwaga nk'umwe mu bari bayoboye ishami rya gisirikare ry'Interahamwe mu rwego rw'igihugu, ko ari nawe waziteguriraga imyitozo ya gisirikare mu kigo cya Gisirikare cya Gako".
Mu nterahamwe zo muri 1994 harimo abahutu n'abatutsi
Uyu mututsi w'interahamwe bwana Mucanda avuga yemeza neza ko azi neza Twahirwa kandi ko bakoranye cyane.Mu magambo ye bwite aragira ati:
"Twahirwa yari atuye kuri metero 300 gusa uva iwanje, kandi twahuriraga mu manama. Ni we wari ushinzwe gutanga intwaro, mbere yabitangiraga mu rugo iwe hamwe n'ahakorera MAGERWA [Magasin Général du Rwanda].Twahirwa yakundaga gutanga imbunda z'ubwoko butandukanye yabaga yahawe n'abasirikare b'aba GP (Garde Présidentielle), abasirikare bo mu mutwe urinda Perezida Juvénal Habyarimana"
Séraphin Twahirwa ufatwa nk'umwe mu bari bayoboye ishami rya gisirikare ry'Interahamwe mu rukiko i Buruseli
Uyu mututsi w'interahamwe Mucanda akomeza avuga ko, umunsi indege ya Perezida Habyarimana iraswa, Twahirwa wari umuntu mwiza yahindutse igikoko agatangira kwica. Mu magambo ye aragira ati
"Hari umugore bakoranaga murio minisiteri y'imirimo ya leta [MINITRAP Ministère des Travaux Publics] wamubajije impamvu ababaye cyane amubonye ku kabari aho twari turi kunywera ku itariki 06 z'ukwezi kwa kane bamaze kurasa indege ya Habyarimana .Icyo gihe Twahirwa yasohoye imbunda yo mu bwoko bwa pistolet aramurasa, umwana we w'imyaka 11 bari kumwe avugije induru, yahise nawe amuhwanya, aho niho twahise tubona ko ibintu bikomeye".
Iyi nterahamwe tutsi ivuga ko yari kumwe n'izindi Nterahamwe, ariko ko bose bikomereje kwinywera inzoga.
Kuri Basabose, avuga ko yari umukire wafashaga cyane Interahamwe, aho yemeje ko yamwihereye ubwe amafaranga ibihumbi 50 by'amanyarwanda y'icyo gihe kubera yemeye kwifatanya n'Interahamwe kandi ari Umututsi.
Mu rukiko abaregwa bakurikiranaga bacecetse uyu mutangabuhamya w'Interahamwe ruharwa y'umututsi yabashinjaga ko bafatanyije kwica abatutsi, ariko bakanyuzamo bakazunguza imitwe basa nk'abatemeranya nawe aho abashinja kwica no kumuha ku manyarwanda.
Muri iyi videwo hasi, mu kiganiro n'impirimbanyi y'umunyarwanda Claude Gatebuke, bwana James Munyandinda warindaga Major waje kwiyita Jenerali Paul Kagame,yemeza ko FPR Inkotanyi ubwayo yagize uruhare mu kwica abatutsi,mu kubatemagura,bafatanyije n'Interahamwe.Nyuma y'aho bicaga n'abahutu ku bwinshi maze bakajugunya imirambo yabo mu byobo bajugunyemo abatutsi bishe. Interahamwe zavaga mu Nkotanyi ngo zitwaga "abakomando".Uyu wahoze aro Inkotanyi,akaba umututsi wa hafi cyane ya Paul Kagame,yemeza ko ndetse abatutsi Paul Kagame, James Kabarebe, na Charles Kayonga bagize uruhare mu kwica abatutsi ruruta urw'interahamwe. Ese ibyo avuga nibyo? Ni iki ubiziho?

Kagame's youthful but ruthless team comprises of Ines Mpambara, Irene Zirimwabagabo, Clare Akamanzi, Louise Kanyonga, Diane Karusisi, and Iza Irame. These are Kagame's B-Team of lieutenants running Rwanda. With Mr. Fixer James Musoni who is Kagame's A-Team in deep trouble, the six-person team of youthful women is fully in charge now. The work of the B-Team is threefold — praise Kagame, spy on others, and destroy careers. This Kagame team may be described as toxic, or destructive machinery designed to control all aspects of Rwanda's public service to maximize Kagame's power at all costs. Concepts such as goals, delivery, tasks, resources, effectiveness, motivation, and the well-being of professionals are alien to this Kagame B-Team. Serving power is the only game in town — Rwanda does not exist. Only Kagame does. Everyone must follow orders, however infantile, or you are destroyed.
The head of the B-Team is Ines Mpambara, Kagame chief of staff for nearly 10 years. As chief of staff, Mpambara is therefore not only charged with running the Presidency but the nation as well. She is General Kagame's right hand woman. Her rise to power was spectacular. Within a year in Kagame's presidency, Mpambara had crushed all her seniors, including those with decades of policy experiences, PhDs and even a military general. Armed with a Bachelor Degree in journalism, she easily competes with Kagame in Machiavellian ruthlessness and brutality against perceived enemies. Kagame and Mpambara are made of same cloth — they both badly lack an ethical core that guides their interaction with the people they lead. The two never heard of values like fairness, decency, equitable behavior, empathy, and humanism.
Irene Zirimwabagabo is the Principal Private Secretary to Kagame. She takes care of President Kagame's own office, including speech-writing. Teamed with Mpambara as her boss, watch out for this one. Irene is another tiger — cross her and you are 'finished'. Lying, manipulation and blame games are her specialties. Irene is a self-claimed strict Adventist-Christian, too. How she reconciles her values with working for a man whose trademark is violence at home and abroad is an irony of ironies. Irene simply adores her leader and will do anything for him, no matter the human cost.
When Rwanda Development Board (RDB) was created to provide a one-stop center for investments and exports, Kagame's micromanagement led to high leadership turnover that persistently rendered the agency useless. Between 2008 when RDB was established and 2018, Kagame changed its CEOs five times. That is an average of two years per CEO. Claire Akamanzi served under four CEOs specializing in spying and reporting them to Kagame. Then Kagame gave her the CEO position. She sees her job as singing praises to Kagame, exaggerating Rwanda's social and economic achievements, and reporting on colleagues suspected of not towing the line. That is Clare Akamanzi — who is supposedly responsible for strategies to transform Rwanda into a vibrant economy sustaining a middle-income population by 2020.
At the age of 26 years and straight from school, Kagame made Kanyonga the Registrar General of Rwanda. Kagame had previously sponsored her for Masters degree at Harvard. The exact connection between the boss and the lieutenant is still unknown. This is the person who, as the Registrar of Companies, is responsible for business and other institutions under the relevant Acts in accordance with Rwanda's economic and trade policies. And naturally, the person who promotes institutional effectiveness to assist commercial activities and regulatory compliance. While it takes a day to register a company, Kagame can unilaterally seize and destroy a private company in a day, too. Kanyonga is ready to stamp Kagame's illegal orders.
Kagame made Karusisi managing director and CEO of Bank of Kigali in 2016. This, after Kagame, removed James Gatera from that position and made him CEO of Crystal Ventures Ltd. Gatera was soon dumped from Crytal Ventures and "disappeared." Karusisi is now at the helm of Rwanda's largest commercial bank by assets — which is effectively a Kagame's bank as I have shown in greater detail in my book Kagame Ate Rwanda's Pension.
Iza Irame is the Chief Corporate Officer of Crystal Ventures Ltd, the ruling party's US$500 million business empire. Irame is sister-in-law to Diane Karusisi, the Bank of Kigali's CEO. And Diane Karusisi is the sister of Major Ruki Karusisi, Kagame's security detail.
The pre-requisite to join Kagame's B-Team of crusaders is a willingness to become single-minded in manufacturing and sustaining Kagame's 'positive' image. In return, he gives them all powers to execute this duty. Exclusively Tutsi, these young women are only answerable to Kagame — all public servants including cabinet ministers are utterly terrified of these crusaders. Clearly, Mr A-Team, James Musoni, has a formidable replacement in form of Kagame's B-Team.
