Yanditswe na Frank Steven Ruta

Amakuru ari gucicikana mu bitangazamakuru byo mu Rwanda, ni umwiherero w’abategetsi uri kubera i Gabiro mu karere ka Gatsibo mu ntara y’uburasirazuba bw’u Rwanda. Ku munsi w’ejo nibwo president Kagame  yakomoje ku mubano mubi u Rwanda rufitanye na Uganda ndetse anakomoza kuri René Rutagungira ugiye kumara imyaka ibiri mu buroko muri Uganda aho akurikiranyweho gushimuta no kwica impunzi z’abanyarwanda zibarizwa muri Uganda.

Ifatwa rya Rutagungira ryambitse ubusa iperereza ry’u Rwanda.

Rutagungira yashimuswe mu rukerera rwo ku ya 8 kanama 2017 ari mu kabari kitwa Bahamas gaherereye Bakuli mu murwa mukuru wa Kampala  aho yari ari gusangira n’inshuti ze ahagana saa munani z’ijoro.

Abakozi b’urwego rushinzwe iperereza CMI bahise bamujyana mu nzu bafungiramo abakekwaho gukora ibyaha bikomeye (safe houses).

Birumvikana ko mbere yo kugira ikintu bamubaza babanje kumukuraho telephone ngendanwa. Amakuru agera kuri The Rwandan avuga ko muri telephone ye basanzemo ibiganiro by’ibanga yagiranaga na Gen Kale Kayihura byiganjemo ibyo kwica no gushimuta abanyarwanda bakekwaho ko batavuga rumwe n’ubutegetsi buriho mu Rwanda ndetse no kwica bamwe mu bayobozi bakomeye mu gisilikari bazwiho kugira umubano wihariye na Museveni kugira ngo nibamara kubigizayo bazakurikizeho nyirubwite.

Si ibyo gusa kuko ubwo bamukoreraga iyicarubozo (physical torture) ngo yaba yarabahaye amakuru yose k’umugambi wa Kagame na Kayihura wo kwirenza Museveni na Abel Kandiho uyobora urwego rw’ubutasi muri Uganda. Ibi byose bikaba byariyongereye ku yandi makuru inzego z’iperereza zari zifite ku mubano wa Kayihura na Kagame wari ugamije gusenya ishyaka rya Museveni National Resistance movement (NRM).

General Tumukunde yahise arya Karungu ashaka kurasa Kayihura !

Ubwo aya makuru yose yamaraga kujya hanze  Henry Tumukunde wayoboraga urwego rushinzwe umutekano w’imbere mu gihugu ISO nka muramu wa Museveni yumvaga nta kindi cyahembwa Kayihura uretse kumurasa.

Uyu mugambi Museveni yarawanze kubera ko atifuzaga kurema urwango hagati y’abahima n’abafumbira. Ahubwo yasabye Kayihura kumubwiza ukuri kose kugira ngo amufungure. Ibi Kayihura yarabyemeye amuvira imuzingo ku  migambi ye na Kagame ndetse anatanga amazina y’abamufashaga bose barimo abanyarwanda n’abagande.

Kayihura akimara gutanga uru rutonde inzego z’umutekano zarabayoye zibamarira muri gereza maze Kagame yisanga nta bubasha na buke agifite muri kiriya gihugu yari asigaye afata nk’intara y’u Rwanda bitewe n’uko yari asigaye agikoramo icyo ashaka.

Kagame iyo yabuze amakuru igifu kiramurya ndetse akabura n’ibitotsi.

Amakuru ava mu nda y’ingoma ya Kagame n’agatsiko ke, avuga ko kuva batakaza Kayihura n’izindi ntasi zabaga muri Uganda babuze amahoro kubera kwikanga ko Museveni yafasha Kayumba bagahirika ingoma ya bo.

Agahinda n’umujinya batewe na biriya byose nibyo byatumye Kagame yivamo nk’inopfu agakomoza kuri maneko we Rutangungira. Gusa icyatangaje abantu benshi ni ukuntu president w’igihugu afata umwanya akavuga ku mfungwa iciriritse nka Rutagungira.

Abazi neza Kagame bavuga ko ubutumwa yashakaga guha Museveni ari uko yafungura uyu mugabo n’abagenzi be kugira ngo nawe afungure umupaka wa Gatuna umaze ibyumweru bibiri ufunze.

  1. Take the example of Rene Rutagungira:
    1. He entered Uganda years back and declared himself a Rwandan seeking asylum, which he was granted

    2. He has a refugee number and was recieving all benefits of refugees. Now Rwanda is demanding for him.
    Rutagungira is allegedly and singularly responsible for killing more than 20 Rwandan refugees and kidnapping or killing with others another unknown yet to be known number.

    Aime Ntabana was a close friend with whom I used to hang out after my work at Mulago.
    He would wait for me and a few doctor friends, around Mulago to calm our minds after stressful work in theatre.

    On day he was kidnapped, allegedly by Rene, put in a car boot, taken to Rwanda, specifically Kami, where he was skinned alive, muscles sliced until he died..

    I treated Pascal Manirakiza for two months at Mulago following his discovery in Mabira forest where those who left him there thought he had died following over the top torture and physical dismemberment.

    I was chief surgeon and it took us 3 months to put the boy back into shape.

    I first heard the name Rene Rutagungira from him when he regained consciousness after a week or so.

    Pascal told me Rene Rutagungira was a very powerful man and that Rene had personally supervised his attempted murder.

    Pascal had been allocated a safe house in Namugongo by the UNHCR, only to discover Rene was the person in charge.

    Every Rwandan refugee knee Rene Rutagungira and they would all have been basic knowledge on how to avoid him.

    So Pascal managed to escape from the safe house just like he had done the same from M23.

    He took refugee at a Rwandan “acquaintance” who promptly informed Rene. He was then beaten into a State of unconsciousness.
    He only woke up to find himself in the hospital.

    During the three months of treatment, he was guarded 24/7 by the Ugandan police. I initially thought this was a friendly guardianship but I began to have my doubts when I realised the efficiency of the guards was so strick.

    I therefore decided to hand him over in the most official manner to the Uganda police.
    I demanded to see the police officer who was in charge of Pascal’s security.
    But the said officer could only speak to me on the phone. He refused a physical meeting, claiming he was busy.
    I asked for his word that Pascal would be safe to which he profusely swore , Pascal was in safe hands..
    So I discharged him..
    I asked Pascal to call me whenever he gets the earliest opportunity.
    I waited but the call never came.

    A few months went by and Pascal was reported missing by one international human rights organization in Uganda.

    So I got in touch in some contacts and Pascal fate was explained to me.
    He had been arrested on the day I discharged him.

    Soon he ended up at Kami, where he was tortured to death.

    I took a number of good pictures of Pascal in different stages of recovery and I have them archived..

    “Do you know Rene Rutagungira?” Pascal would ask me each time I entered his room for reviews.

    “No I don’t know him” would be my answer.

    “He is a very powerful and dangerous man”; he would apprehensively tell me.
    …. and he is stil out there; he would add.
    Pascal had been shot in the leg during his torture and this wound took long to heal because of sepsis, so I would interrupt him and ask about the wound.

    I feel a sense of guilt because Pascal told me what I needed to know to save him..

    I mostly failed to find anyone in Uganda to help me save Pascal.

    Today Rwanda, nonchalantly demands for Rene Rutagungira as though the State of Uganda is the wild west for a more civilized state of Rwanda.

    But M7 says he will keep quiet which is what a gentle statesman would do.

    What if he told all these hundreds of stories so for the world to know what the state of Rwanda really represents?
