(1878-1941) – Kanjogera yari umugore w’inkundwakazi w’umwami Kigeli IV Rwabugiri. Yabaye umugabekazi w’abami babiri: Nyiramibambwe ku ngoma ya Mibambwe IV Rutalindwa (1895-1896) na Nyirayuhi ku ngoma y’umuhungu we Yuhi V Musinga (1896-1931). Ni mwene Rwakagara na Nyiramashyongoshyo. Yari umuhererezi iwabo. Abavandimwe be bahuriye kuri se na nyina ni Cyigenza na Mbanzabigwi.
Rwakagara yarongoye Nyiramashyongoshyo, ariko yari asanzwe afite abandi bana aribo Kabare, Ruhinankiko, Ruhinajoro n’abandi yabyaranye n’Urujeni rwa Gahindiro. Naho Nyiramashyongoshyo we yatashye kwa Rwakagara afite Bicunda yari yarabyaranye na Runihangabo.
Nyiramashyongoshyo asumbakazwa na Rwakagara – bivuga ko yarongowe nawe yarigeze undi mugabo – byaturutse ku mugabekazi Nyiramavugo Nyiramongi nyina wa Mutara II Rwogera. Bavuga ko Nyiramashyongoshyo yarebye Rwakagara wari umutware w’ingabo z’Uruyange n’Ingeyo, ariko kandi ananutse cyane, nuko aravuga ati: “Rwakagara ni umutware ubereye ingabo ariko hari icyo abuze ngo abonere rwose.” Nuko umugabekazi Nyiramavugo abyumvise abona nta wundi wamwitaho uretse Nyiramashyongoshyo wari warabashije kubibona, maze ategeka musaza we Rwakagara kumucyura.
Uko yabaye umugabekazi
Kanjogera ntiyanyuze mu nzira zari zimenyerewe ibwami mu kugirwa umugore w’umwami. Ubusanzwe abatware bo hirya no hino mu gihugu batoranyaga abakobwa b’abangavu bafite uburanga, bakabohereza ibwami, maze umwami akabatoranyamo uzamubera umugore.
Rwakagara amaze kubona atagishoboye gutwara ingabo yategekaga, yagiye kumenyesha umwami ko umuhungu we Giharamagara ariwe uzamuzungura. Giharamagara amaze kuyobokwa n’izo ngabo, yaradamaraye, yibagirwa se. Ibi byarakaje Rwagakara, kandi atagishoboye kuba yavuguruza ibyo yari yarabwiye umwami ngo abe yakwambura umuhungu we ubutware.
Rwakagara ageze mu za bukuru, yasubiye ibwami agiye gusezera. Yarimbishije umukobwa we Kanjogera, afata n’imbyeyi y’umushishe, nuko asanga Rwabugiri i Bweramvura bwa Kinihira mu Kabagali. Yaravunyishije maze abwira Rwabugiri ko amuhaye ayo maturo kandi ko aje kumusezeraho. Gusa yongeyeho ko napfa bazamenya ko azize murenguzi (inzara) yatewe n’umuhungu we Giharamagara.
Igihe Rwakagara yagarukaga ibwami agiye gusezera, yasanze Rwabugiri ari kwerera nyina Murorunkwere. Murorunkwere yari umugore wa Nkoronko, murumuna w’umwami Mutara II Rwogera. Nyuma umwami yaje gusaba Nkoronko ko bagurana abana kuko ngo yakundaga umwana we Sezisoni. Nyuma uwo Sezisoni yaje kuba umwami yitwa Kigeri IV Rwabugiri, nyina Murorunkwere aba umugabekazi. Nkoronko yaje gukwiza impuha ko Murorunkwere atwite kandi cyaraziraga ko uwabaye umugabekazi yongera kubyara. Umwami Kigeri IV Rwabugiri amaze kumva iyo nkuru yahise ategeka ko nyina yicwa. Amaze kwicisha nyina, yasabye ko hakorwa iperereza maze abagore basuzumye nyina bamubwira ko yarenganye ko atari atwite. Iyo nkuru yateye Rwabugiri uburakari ategeka ko abagize uruhare mu gutuma nyina yicwa nabo bakwicwa bose. Muri abo bishwe icyo gihe uretse Nkoronko, harimo abagore batatu b’ibwami. Muri bo harimo na Nyiraburunga, nyina wa Rutalindwa. Nyuma Rwabugiri amaze kwerera nyina yaje kurongora Kanjogera, aramukundwakaza. Ngo yaje kumugabira ingo zigera kuri esheshatu. Kanjogera yabyaranye n’umwami Rwabugiri Musinga na Munana.
Uruhari mu ntambara yo ku Rucunshu
Mu mateka y’ibwami bivugwa ko n’ubwo Abiru bagenaga uzaba umwami, habayeho mu bihe binyuranye kurwanira ingoma hagati y’abana b’umwami, kenshi babaga bafite ba nyina batandukanye. Cyakora, mu gihe cyo ku Rucunshu ngo ni bwo bwa mbere mu barwaniraga ingoma, uwari warayirazwe ariwe Mibambwe IV Rutalindwa yayitsindiwe n’uwo bari bahanganye ariwe Musinga, ndetse akanapfa.
Imirwano yo ku Rucunshu hagati ya Rutalindwa na Musinga afatanyije na ba nyirarume aribo Kabare na Ruhinankiko, n’abari babashyigikiye harimo na Rwidegembya rwa Cyigenza cya Rwakagara, yabereye hafi ya Shyogwe uvuye i Kabgayi. Amakimbirane yaturutse kuri Rwabugiri, kubera ko yari yaratanze nyina (wa Rutalindwa) wagombaga kuzaba umugabekazi akicwa, kandi akaba yari yaragize Kanjogera w’umwega umugabekazi w’umutungerero, aho kumuha umugabekazi wo mu bwoko bw’abakono nyina wa Rutalindwa yakomokagamo.
Bivugwako urwango hagati y’Abanyiginya babyaraga abami n’Abega baturukagamo abagabekazi ruturuka kuri Mutara II Rwogera. Ngo ajya gutanga yasabye ko Abega batazegera ingoma (batazatanga abagabekazi) byibuze ku ngoma z’abami 6 bakurikiranye. Umwami Rwabugiri amaze gutanga, Rutalindwa yimye ingoma uko byari biteganijwe. Rutalindwa yimitswe yararongoye anafite abana batatu ari bo Nyamuheshera, Sekarongoro na Rangira. Abiru b’inkoramutima za Rwabugiri, Bisangwa bya Rugombituri, murumuna we Sehene, na Mugugu wa Shumbusho wari n’umutware w’Ingabo z’Abarasa, umwami yabashinze kuzashyigikira Mibambwe Rutalindwa no kuzita ku by’izungura. Abega bayobowe na Kanjogera, bamaze kubona ko Rutalindwa yimye batangije gahunda yo kumukura ku ngoma. Babanje kumucaho abagaba bakomeye b’ingabo barimo Bisangwa woherejwe ku rugamba i Shangi akicirwayo agambaniwe.
Sehene we yaguye mu gico cy’abantu boherejwe na Kabare. Ariko abega babanje kumwangisha umwami Rutalindwa nuko aramutanga. Yaje kwitwikira mu nzu hamwe n’abe n’abavandimwe be barimo Semukamba na Karwanyi. Naho umunyiginya Muhamyangabo wari ushinzwe urugo rw’umwami rw’i Kigali rwacungwagwa na Musomandera muka Rutalindwa, yagiranye amatiku na nyirabuja, uyu abyumvisha umwami, nuko aramutanga, apfana n’umuvandimwe we Ndabahimye n’umuhungu we Mujuguri.
Abega barwanyaga Rutalindwa banashatse kandi amaboko mu bashoboraga gushyigikira umwami. Muri abo harimo Nshozamihigo watwaraga mu Marangara, Sharangabo watwaraga mu Buganza, Cyitatire watwaraga Bwanamukali na Baryinyonza murumuna wa Rutalindwa. Uyu muvandimwe yemeye gutatira mwene nyina yibwira ko ntacyo azaba, naho ngo Muhigirwa yemeye kubogamira kuri Musinga rwihishwa. Uruhande rwa Musinga rwigaruriye n’umwiru mukuru Rukangirashyamba wari umutsobe, bituma Abatsobe bose babogamira kuri Musinga. Umwiru witwa Rutikanga we yagumye ku ruhande rwa Rutalindwa.
Kuberako impande zombi zari ziteguye buri gihe ko zishobora kurwana, imbarutso yabonetse mu gihe umwami yari acumbitse i Rukaza ku musozi witwa Rucunshu ya Nyamabuye. Urugamba rwararemye, abarwanira Mibambwe IV Rutalindwa basatira inzu y’umugabekazi Kanjogera ari kumwe na Musinga barayigota ku buryo ngo Kanjogera yashatse no kwiyahura hamwe n’umuhungu we, maze Kabare akababuza. Ngo ariko baje gutabarwa n’ingabo z’Abatanyagwa zari ziyobowe n’umwega Rwamanywa rwa Mirimo; zikaba ngo zaraje ziturutse mu Budaha. Ngo zashushubikanyije iz’umwami Rutalindwa, zigota ingoro ye. Umwami abonye byamurangiranye, ngo yinjiye mu nzu arifungirana we n’abahungu be batatu, umugore we Kanyonga hamwe n’abayoboke be bitwikiramo.
Nyuma ngo nibwo Kabare ahagaze mu mirambo yateruye Musinga nuko abwira abari aho ati: “Rubanda, dore umwami w’ukuri Rwabugiri yaraze ingoma, ni Yuhi Musinga, naho Rutalindwa yari yarigize icyigomeke cyihaye ingoma.” Nuko ngo abari aho bamubwiye ko ingoma z’ingabe zahiriye mu ngoro ngo aravuga ati: “Haguma umwami, ingoma irabazwa.”
Ingaruka z’intambara yo ku Rucunshu
Mu ngaruka zakurikiye intambara yo ku Rucunshu harimo inzigo hagati y’imiryango imwe y’Abanyiginya n’Abega, gutesha agaciro ingoma y’ingabe Kalinga, yanateje kandi urujijo mu kumenya ukuri ku bwami bwa Yuhi Musinga. Abamushyirishijeho bemezaga ko Rutalindwa atari we mwami w’ukuri wagombaga guhabwa ingoma na se Rwabugiri. Ariko wasubira inyuma urebye ko Musinga yahawe izina ry’ubwami rya Yuhi ryagombaga gukurikira irya Mibambwe, ibi bikagaragaza ko abamushyizeho bemeraga ko Rutalindwa nawe yari umwami wemewe n’amategeko y’ubwiru.
Abafashije Musinga kugera ku bwami buhamye baragororewe. Muri abo ukurikije amoko, Abega nibo bari ku isonga, bagakurikirwa n’Abatsobe, hagataho Abanyiginya batashyigikiye Rutalindwa. Abakono bo babaye nk’ibicibwa mu Rwanda, bamwe ndetse bahungiye mu Buganda. Mu mwaka w’1910, abavugwa ko ingoma y’Abega yari ibakungahaje ni nka Kabare, Rwidegembya, Kayondo, Rwubusisi, Mpetamacumu, Nyirinkwaya n’abandi. Nyuma y’intambara yo ku Rucunshu, n’ibikorwa byo guhora kugirirwa nabi no kunyagwa byamaze imyaka irenga icumi. Muri rusange Nyirayuhi Kanjogera amateka y’u Rwanda akaba amuvuga nk’umugabekazi wagize akanerekana ubugome burenze urugero.
Umunyamateka Kagame Alegisi wabaye n’umwiru, mu gitabo cye cyitwa “La poésie dynastique au Rwanda,” avuga ko kubera ko Yuhi V Musinga, kuva mu bwana bwe, yabaye igikoresho cya sewabo Kabare na nyina Kanjogera, mu guhora no kwigarurira ubutegetsi, ntiyigeze yitegekera ubwe, kugeza abazungu bamukuye ku ngoma muri 1931. Iby’ubugome no gukorera mu kwaha k’umwami Musinga, bivugwa kuri Kanjogera, byashimangiwe kandi n’undi muhanga mu mateka y’u Rwanda, padiri Rudakemwa Fortunatusi, mu kiganiro yagiranye na Musabyimana Gasipari kuri Radiyo Inkingi, aho avuga ko abiru bagiriye Musinga inama mu mwaka w’1929 yo kwimika umwana we Rudahigwa we agasigara ari umwami w’icyubahiro. Ngo Musinga yagiye kugisha inama nyina, nyuma abiru bamubajije icyemezo yafashe, ababwira ko nyina Kanjogera yabyanze barumirwa.
