IBYO MUTAMENYE KU RUGAMBA RWA NYUMA RW’INZIRABWOBA (IGICE CYA 2)

VI. Général Dallaire mu gushaka gucamo ibice Inzirabwoba n’ubwumvikane bucye hagati ya bamwe mu nzirabwoba.

Abanyapolitiki bamwe barwanyaga ubutegetsi bwa Perezida Habyalimana ndetse n’umukuru w’ingabo za MINUAR, Général Roméo Dallaire bashatse gucamo ibice abasirikare b’Inzirabwoba bakoresheje uturere n’ibindi, bamwe mu basirikare batashatse kwivanga mu bikorwa byabo bya politiki cyangwa ngo bibonekeze kuri Général Dallaire bafatwaga nk’intagondwa, igitangaje n’uko n’abasirikare babaga bazwiho ubutwari bwo kuba baramereye nabi ingabo za FPR ku rugamba bashyirwaga nabo muri icyo gice cy’intagondwa.

Hari igice cy’abasirikare, abanyapolitiki barwanyaga Perezida Habyalimana babonaga nk’aho badashyigikiye Perezida Habyalimana (uretse ko bibeshye kuri bamwe muri bo) akenshi bitewe n’uturere tw’u Rwanda bakomokagamo abo nibo abo banyapolitiki babwiye Général Dallaire ko ari modérés ndetse no mu gitabo cye Général Dallaire avuga ko yizeraga ko abo basirikare modérés bashobora gukora Coup d’Etat maze ibintu bikagenda neza uko yabishakaga. (Aha ushobora kubona urutonde rw’abasirikare bakuru b’Inzirabwoba bari mu kazi n’uturere bakomokagamo hatarimo abo muri Gendarmerie) mu 1994. Ubwo yinjiraga mu nama y’abakuru b’imitwe y’ingabo yaberaga muri ESM tariki ya 7 Mata 1994, akabonamo bamwe mubo yitaga modérés ariko abonye ko na Colonel BEMS Théoneste Bagosora yari ahari ngo icyizere cya Coup d’Etat yari yizeye cyarayoyotse.

Ubwumvikane bucye hagati ya Colonel Rusatira na Colonel BEMS Bagosora nabwo bwarigaragaje butuma Colonel Rusatira atongera kwitabira inama z’abakuru b’ingabo, ngo ubwo bwumvikane bucye buturuka igihe bakoranaga muri Ministère y’ingabo.

Itegeko Colonel BEM Gatsinzi wari umugaba mukuru w’ingabo by’agateganyo yatanze ryo kwimurira Etat Major y’ingabo ku Kamonyi, bamwe mu bakuru b’ingabo bakanga kuryubahiriza rigakurwaho ritarashyirwa mu bikorwa nabyo biri mu bigaragaza ubwo bwumvikane bucye bwari buhari. Dore ko nta wundi mwanya yahawe nyuma y’aho aviriye ku buyobozi bw’Inzirabwoba uretse kugerageza kuba yashyikirana na FPR.

Kuba Colonel BEM Augustin Bizimungu yaragizwe umugaba mukuru w’inzirabwoba ndetse akaba na Général Major ari uwo muri promotion ya 13 bikaba ngombwa ko ategeka abasirikare benshi bamutanze mu gisirikare kugeza no kubo muri promotion ya 6 nka ba Colonel Rusatira na Colonel Munyengango ntabwo byashimishije benshi.

VII. Umutekano mucye n’ubwicanyi mu gihugu

Kubera ukuntu ibintu byari bimeze icyo gihe hari abasirikare bakuru bagaragaje ubushake bucye mu kurwanya FPR ndetse n’uburyo FPR yagendaga yegera imbere bityo icyizere mu baturage kiragabanuka ku buryo hari bamwe batari bakizera Inzirabwoba bavuga ko zirimo ibyitso byinshi, aha niho Leta yari yiyise iy’abatabazi yibwiraga ko abaturage bashobora kwirindira umutekano, icyo nibyo byavuyemo akaduruvayo n’ubwicanyi bwinshi kubera abaturage bari basanzwe bafitanye inzangano ziyongereyeho ibikorwa by’urugomo n’ubusahuzi dore ko abagizi ba nabi b’ingeri zose ntawe wari ukibakurikirana kubera intambara yari ikomeye, hiyongereyeho ko FPR yegeraga imbere nayo ikora ubwicanyi, abaturage b’abatutsi bahise bibasirwa bidasubirwaho kuko baregwaga kuba ibyitso bya FPR dore ko kubera isinywa ry’amasezerano y’Arusha no kuza muri CND kw’abasirikare ba FPR abenshi ntabwo bahishaga ko bashyigikiye FPR. Ariko sibo bonyine bibasiwe kuko byageze aho n’abasa n’abatutsi kw’isura n’abahutu bitwaga ibyitso bya FPR bicwaga tutibagiwe ko n’abicaga ubwabo basubiranagamo.

Hagaragaye abantu bashyashya b’intagondwa b’abahutu bitwaje ubwirinzi bw’abaturage bihindura ibigirwamana ku buryo babaga bafite ububasha burengeje mu kuyobora ubwicanyi. Ari abarwanaga na FPR nyabyo ari ababaga bari mu bwicanyi n’ibindi bikorwa by’urugomo bose bahawe izina ry’Interahamwe ubundi ryari risanzwe ari iry’urubyiruko rwa MRND (bamwe mu bari mu rubyiruko rwa MRND bagize uruhare mu bwicanyi) ariko ntabwo byahagarariye aho kuko byageze aho abatutsi bamwe b’intagondwa baryita abahutu bose kugeza ubu!

Izina rya Colonel BEMS Bagosora ryabaye icyamamare kw’isi yose kubera inkuru zakwijwe ko ngo ariwe wateguye Genocide akanayishyira mu bikorwa, bigaragara ko abakwije izo nkuru ari abo Colonel BEMS Bagosora yaba yarabangamiye mu bikorwa byabo cyane cyane Général Roméo Dallaire univugira mu gitabo cye ko kuba Colonel BEMS Bagosora yari ahari byaburijemo umugambi yizeraga ko washoboka wo gukora Coup d’Etat. Kuba Colonel BEMS Bagosora ari umwe basirikare bakuru bari basigaye bakomokaga mu Bushiru (dore ko abenshi bari baragiye mu kiruhuko cy’izabukuru) yari ikimenyetso cy’ubutegetsi bwa Perezida Habyalimana n’icyo abanyapolitiki bari barise Akazu. (Uretse ko mu manza zitandukanye mu rukiko rw’Arusha nta kimenyetso na kimwe kigeze kigaragazwa cyerekana ko gutegura Genocide byabayeho n’akazu kigeze kabaho, ndetse n’umuyapolitiki Bwana Faustin Twagiramungu wari mu barwanyaga ubutegetsi bwa Perezida Habyalimana mu buhamya yahaye urukiko rw’Arusha yivugiye ko izina Akazu ryahimbwe n’abanyapolitiki kugira ngo basebye ubutegetsi bwa Perezida Habyalimana.)

Ikindi gitangaje n’ukuntu abayobozi b’ingabo z’inzirabwoba abenshi bafashwe n’urukiko rwa Arusha uretse Général Gatsinzi n’abandi bacye bari bafite imyanya y’ubuyobozi. Byumvikane ko mu ihigwa ry’abahoze mu Nzirabwoba, amahanga yakoreshaga Général Dallaire mu guha ubutegetsi FPR yaba yarabigizemo uruhare runini ndetse uwavuga ko Général Dallaire yabatungiye agatoki ntiyaba yibeshye.

Ntawabura kuvuga ko Général Dallaire yagize uruhare runini mu gucyura abasirikare b’Inzirabwoba bari barahungiye muri Zaïre bari biganjemo abashize umukono ku itangazo ryitiriwe Kigeme. (Iryo tangazo ryavugaga ko abarishyizeho umukono bitandukanyije n’abandi ko batagize uruhare mu bwicanyi ko biyemeje kujya gukorana na FPR. Bamwe mubarishyizeho umukono hari Colonel Rusatira, Général Gatsinzi, Major Cyiza, Major BEM Habyalimana, Major Ndamage n’abandi..). Ku banyamahanga bamwe kudasinya itangazo rya Kigeme byagaragaye nk’uko ari ugushyigikira ubwicanyi cyangwa kuba warabugizemo uruhare.

VIII. Igenda ry’ingabo z’amahanga

Ingabo z’amahanga zari zaje mu Rwanda guhungisha abanyamahanga zari zimaze gutaha ndetse tariki ya 21 Mata 1994 Inama y’umuryango w’abibumbye ishinzwe amahoro kw’isi yafashe icyemezo 912 cyo kugabanya umubare w’abasirikare ba MINUAR ukava ku 2500 hagasigara 270 bonyine. Hari bamwe bakoresheje ikinyoma cyo kwemeza ko abasirikare 10 b’ababiligi bishwe kugira ngo ingabo za MINUAR zive mu Rwanda, ariko amakuru ndetse n’ibimenyetso byinshi byerekana ko iyicwa ry’ababiligi cyari igikorwa gitunguranye kandi abayobozi b’Inzirabwoba bagerageje kugihagarika. Kandi byaje kugaragara mu nyuma ko ubuyobozi bw’Inzirabwoba butifuzaga ko Ingabo za MINUAR zigenda kuko nta masasu ahagije bari bafite kandi byari guha FPR uburyo bwo gufata ubutegetsi ku ngufu.

Si abasirikare b’ababiligi 10 bapfuye gusa, kuko tariki ya 31 Gicurasi 1994, Capitaine Mbaye Diagne wakomokaga mu gihugu cya Sénégal yahitanywe n’igisasu cya mortier 82mm cyaguye ku modoka yarimo ahagana mu Kanogo kirashwe n’ingabo za FPR.

Hari abasirikare b’abafaransa baje gucyura bene wabo (bari mu cyo bise opération Amaryllis hagati yo ku ya 8 Mata 1994 kugeza ku ya 14 Mata 1994. Abo basirikare bari bavuye i Bangui na Libreville. Bari bagizwe n’abasirikare ba 3eme RPIMa na 8eme RPIM z’ingabo z’Abafaransa)

Haje kandi abasirikare b’ababiligi b’abaparacommando mu gikorwa kiswe: opération Silver Back cyari kigamije gucyura ababiligi n’abandi banyamahanga babaga mu Rwanda no gufasha abasirikare b’ababiligi bari muri MINUAR gutaha ndetse hari n’abasirikare b’Abatariyani bakeya bari mu cyo bise Operation Ippocampo Rwanda.

Tubibutse ko abayobozi ba FPR barangajwe imbere na Général Major Paul Kagame basabye ingabo z’amahanga kuva mu Rwanda ndetse baziha n’iminsi ntarengwa yo kuba zavuye mu Rwanda.

Gukura mu Rwanda ingabo z’amahanga zagombaga guherwaho mu guhagarika ubwicanyi no kugabanya umubare w’abasirikare ba MINUAR byagaragaye ko FPR n’abari bayishyigikiye bashakaga gufata ubutegetsi ku ngufu, bakaba barangaga ko imirwano yahagarara ngo habeho gushyira mu bikorwa amasezerano yashoboraga kuzaganisha ku matora FPR yari izi neza ko itazatsinda ngo yiharire ubutegetsi.

Hari amakuru yaturukaga mu nzego z’ubutasi z’u Bubiligi yavugaga ko Ingabo za FPR zishobora gufata umujyi wa Kigali mu gihe kitarenze iminsi 3. Ibyo byari gushoboka kubera impamvu zikurikira:

-Umugaba mukuru w’inzirabwoba icyo gihe Colonel BEM Marcel Gatsinzi yari amaze gutanga amategeko ko Etat Major y’Inzirabwoba ndetse n’imwe mu mitwe y’ingabo yava mu mujyi wa Kigali ikimurirwa hakurya ya Nyabarongo ahitwa ku Kamonyi muri Gitarama. Ibyo byashoboraga gituma Inzirabwoba zirwana zidashishikaye cyane. Ariko ayo mategeko ntabwo yashyizwe mu bikorwa. Hari amakuru avuga ko ayo yashoboraga kuba ari amayeri ya Colonel BEM Gatsinzi na Général Roméo Dallaire yo guha FPR umujyi wa Kigali. Ariko habaye igikorwa gitunguraye ubuyobozi bw’ingabo burahinduka, umugaba mukuru mushya Général Major BEM Augustin Bizimungu ndetse n’abandi basirikare b’Inzirabwoba biyemeza kurwana ku mujyi wa Kigali mpaka.

-Ingabo za FPR zari zimaze kugeza mu mujyi wa Kigali hafi abasirikare barenga ibihumbi 10. Imitwe y’ingabo ya FPR ikurikira yari imaze gusesekara muri Kigali: Alpha Mobile, Bravo Mobile, 101st Mobile, 59th Mobile, kongeraho abasirikare bari muri CND n’abandi bari baracengeye mu gihugu, ndetse n’indi mitwe mito ya FPR itandukanye. Nyuma y’ifatwa rya Byumba 21st Mobile nayo yaje kurwanira muri Kigali, ukwezi kwa Mata 1994 kujya gushira na 7th Mobile nayo yageze i Kigali iturutse inzira ya Kabuga na Rwamagana.

Ingabo z’amahanga zikimara kuva mu Rwanda, Etat Major y’Inzirabwoba yahise ibona ko igisigaye ari ukwirwanaho nta kundi kuko icyizere cy’amasezerano yo guhagarika imirwano cyari kimaze kuyoyoka. Si ibyo gusa kuko umugaba mushya w’Inzirabwoba wari umaze kujyaho ariwe Général Major BEM Augustin Bizimungu, yasanze ibintu byarazambye.

IX. Imirwano simusiga mu mujyi wa Kigali

I Kigali, umusozi wa Rebero wari umeze kurekerwa FPR nyuma y’imirwano simusiga yamaze iminsi 9. N’ubwo Inzirabwoba zari zifite ubushake bwo gufata umusozi wa Rebero wari hagati mu birindiro byazo ntabwo zashoboye kwirukana abasirikare bari biganjemo aba 59th Mobile ya FPR bari bayobowe na Lieutenant Colonel Fred Nyamurangwa, kubera imbunda nyinshi zo mu bwoko bwa Mitrailleuses/Machine gun ingabo za FPR zari kuri uwo musozi zakoreshaga n’ibisasu byinshi bitegwa mu butaka zari zashyize imbere y’ibirindiro byazo. Inzirabwoba zo zagize ikibazo cyo kubura ibisasu byo mu bwoko bwa roquettes na za grenades ziraswa n’imbunda byo gusenya ibirindiro bya FPR. Iyo mirwano yari ikomeye cyane yaguyemo abasirikare benshi ku mpande zombi. Nk’uko Lieutenant Ruzibiza abivuga mu gitabo cye yise Rwanda l’histoire secrète avuga ko 59th Mobile yatakaje abasirikare bagera kuri 300 ku musozi wa Rebero.

Umusozi wa Rebero, Inzirabwoba zawurasheho cyane zikoresheje imbunda za Howitzer 105mm ndetse na Howitzer 122mm. Guhera ku itariki 19 Mata 1994 ariko Inzirabwoba zaretse kugaba ibitero ku i Rebero nyuma yo kuwurasaho ibisasu by’imbunda za Howitzer 105mm bya nyuma zari zifite. Izo mbunda ndetse na za Howitzer 122mm zahise zijya kubikwa ku Gisenyi ahitwa i Muramba kubera kubura amasasu.

Ikigo cya Kami cyari kigoswe n’ingabo za FPR, ariko Major BEMS Joël Bararwerekana wari uyoboye icyo kigo ndetse na Bataillon Police Militaire yakomeje kwizera ko Inzirabwoba zishobora guhindura ibintu hakaboneka uburyo bamwoherereza abasirikare bo kumufasha. Ariko ahagana mu matariki ya 25 Mata 1994, ingabo za FPR zari zambutse Muhazi ziturutse mu mpinga za Gikomero zagabye igitero simusiga ku kigo cya Kami. Byabaye ngombwa ko AbaPM n’imiryango yabo barwana bashakisha inzira ariko baraswaho amabombe menshi ariko amaherezo bahinguka ku Kimironko hari mu maboko y’Inzirabwoba.

I Kigali, ingabo za FPR zari zishinze ibirindiro kuva ku Kimironko kugera ku Kacyiru ndetse ahagana kuri Sonatube ku Kicukiro zari zegeye imbere mu birindiro by’Inzirabwoba. Ibigo bya gisirikare bya Kacyiru na Kimihurura byari byugarijwe ingabo za FPR. Mu majyaruguru y’umujyi, Inzirabwoba zari zashoboye guhagarika Ingabo za FPR mbere y’uko zigera ku mahuriro y’imihanda ya Nyabugogo ariko hari ibirindiro bikomeye by’ingabo za FPR ku misozi ya Jali na Gisozi.

Ingabo za FPR zakomeje kugaba ibitero bikomeye ku kigo cya Gendarmerie ku Kacyiru ariko abajandarume bakomeza kwihagararaho. I Gikondo ahagana kuri Rwandex imirwano yari ikomeye cyane ndetse Inzirabwoba zatakaje Blindé yo mu bwoko bwa AML 60. Ingabo za FPR zashoboye gufata akarere ka Kicukiro karimo uruganda rwa Bralirwa.

Umujyi wa Kigali nawo warashweho n’ingabo za FPR bombes nyinshi zitandukanye harimo n’izo mu bwoko bwa 122mm Howitzer zaraswaga n’imbunda zari zishinze ahagana i Gikomero, zimwe muri Bombe zaguye ku bitaro bya Kigali, Isoko ryo mu mujyi ndetse na Sainte Famille.

Ariko byabaye ngombwa ko tariki ya 20 Mata 1994 ingabo za OPS Byumba zishakisha inzira mu birindiro by’ingabo za FPR zari zizigoze, mu gikorwa kitagenze neza cyane kuko inzira zose zasohokaga mu mujyi wa Byumba zari zafunzwe n’ingabo za FPR. Inzirabwoba za OPS Byumba zashoboye kubona inzira zigera mu birindiro bya OPS Rulindo yari iyobowe na Lieutenant Colonel BEM Antoine Sebahire.

Ku ngabo za FPR umujyi wa Byumba wari ufite agaciro kanini kuko i Kigali hari abasirikare benshi ba FPR bari bakomeretse, kugeza ku basirikare ba FPR bari i Kigali amasasu n’ibindi bari bakeneye byari bigoye, kuba Inzirabwoba zari zikigenzura umuhanda Kigali-Gatuna ndetse zigatega imitego myinshi ingabo za FPR zavaga mu majyaruguru zerekeza i Kigali, byatumye ubuyobozi bw’ingabo za FPR bukoresha ingufu zose zishoboka kugira ngo zifate Byumba. Iyo murwano yayobowe na Colonel Steven Ndugute Karisoriso wari ushinzwe ibikorwa bya gisirikare mu ngabo za FPR (operations Commander) ndetse hitabajwe n’imbunda ziremereye ingabo za Uganda zari zaratije FPR zategekwaga na Lieutenant Colonel Kabarebe, zarimo za 122mm Howitzer ndetse hari amakuru adafite gihamya avuga ko harimo na za Canons sans recul/Recoilless 106mm zarasaga bombes ziturika inshuro nyinshi.

XII. Intambara mu karere ka Kibungo

OPS Kibungo yari iyobowe na Colonel BEM Anselme Nkuliyekubona, ikaba yari igizwe na Bataillon RUSUMO yategekwaga na Capitaine Alexandre Mugarura.

Inzirabwoba zari mu gace k’Umutara ntabwo zashoboye kwihagaraho. Mu gusubira inyuma zageze mu karere ka Kayonza kabarizwaga mu karere k’imirwano ka Kibungo (OPS Kibungo) ahagana tariki ya 14 Mata 1994. Abasirikare bamwe ba OPS Mutara basubiye inyuma bagana mu cyerekezo cya Kigali abandi mu cyerekezo cya Kibungo. Muri iyo minsi kandi hari amakuru avuga ko hagaragaye indege yo mu bwoko bwa Hercule C 130 ishobora kuba yari iturutse muri Uganda igendera hasi cyane.

Inzirabwoba zasubiye inyuma zishinga ibirindiro mu kigo cya gisirikare cya Kibungo, zari ziganjemo abasirikare ba 74ème Bataillon na Bataillon Rusumo.

Icyo kigo cyatangiye koherezwaho amabombe n’ingabo za FPR zari ku misozi ikikije icyo kigo ariko ntabwo izo ngabo zakigabyeho igitero. Colonel BEM Nkuliyekubona wari uyoboye OPS Kibungo yasabye uruhushya ubuyobozi bukuru bw’Ingabo rwo kugerageza kurwana asohoka mu kigo cya Kibungo kuko nta bikoresho bihagije yari afite byari gutuma amenya aho umwanzi aherereye ndetse n’ibyo gutuma ashobora guhangana nawe, ingabo zimwe za FPR zari zirimo kwerekeza ku mupaka wa Rusumo.
