New Vision: N’iki cyumwihariko cyatumye uhunga u Rwanda?
Tribert Ayabatwa Rujugiro :Nk’impunzi yari imaze imyaka 30 m’ubuhunzi numvise ko bagenzi banjye batangije intambara yo guhirika ubutegetsi bwa Nyakwigendera Juvenali Habyarimana. Bamaze guhirika ubutegetsi bwe nagerageje gutangira kubaka igihugu cyanjye muburyo bwose bwanshobokeraga. Nakoreye u Rwanda nka rwiyemezamirimo n’umucuruzi. Nafashije kubura “Chamber of Commerce”kandi nkurira ishami ryabatwara mu mahanga ibikomoka mu Rwanda (Chairman of the export angency). Nabaye umwe mubajyanama (Presidential Advisory Council) ba Perezida bamufashaga guha igihugu icyerekezo.
Uko ibihe byakomeje kugenda byagiye bigaragara ko Perezida Paulo Kagame twamwibeshyeho atari uko twamutekerezaga. Urugero: Yahindutse hafi ya bose mubayobozi bayoboranye intambara. Kuri none niwe wenyine mubayobozi batangiranye Rwandan Patriotic front(RPF) usigaye. Bamwe bapfuye imfu zidasobanutse, abandi baramuhunze bibereye m’ubuhungiro abandi babayeho mubucyene bicishijwe mu Rwanda.
Mu mwaka wa 2009, Kagame yambwiye imbona nkubone ko atageze k’ubutegetsi abiheshejwe n’uwariwe wese. Ibi byarantangaje cyane. Wibutse umubare w’abapfuye mu ntambara mu 1990-1994, imari n’imitungo byagiye bitangwa n’abanyarwanda, wibutse ubufasha twagiye duhabwa n’abantu na Leta ya Uganda, hanyuma umuntu umwe akabirenza ingohe akakubwira ko ntawe akesha kuba ari k’ubutegetsi. Nahise numva ko Umuyobozi w’igihugu cyacu atakiri umuyobozi utekereza wumva cyangwa ngo wemera kugirwa inama. Nahise mfata icyemezo cyo kuva mu Rwanda nkisubirira kuyobora businesses zanjye zari mubihugu bitandukanye bya Afrika no mubihugu by’Abarabu.
New Vision: N’uruhe ruhare wagize muri RPF mbere na nyuma y’intambara ya 1994?

Ubwanjye nemeye gutanga imari yanjye nari mfite mugufasha RPF gutsinda intambara cyane ko icyo gihe imitungo yanjye yose yari yarafatiriwe na Perezida Buyoya i Burundi. Ariko natanze ntitangiriye itama kuko nemeraga impamvu y’intambara ya RPF. Uwari umuyobozi wa RPF icyo gihe Nyakwigendera Fred Rwigyema yari yaransabye gutanga no kuba gukangurira abandi kuyoboka no gufasha RPF. Mu gihe cy’intambara rero nabashije gukangurira abandi bashoramari n’abacuruzi nka Nyakwigendera Mico Rwayitare tubasha kwegeranya ubushobozi buhagije. Nyuma y’intambara nashoye imali mukubaka isoko rinini (shopping mall), nshora mu cyayi, mugukora inkweto, mukubaka amazu (housing estate), n’ibindi. Nashize imbaraga nyinshi mugutangiza ihuriro ry’abashoramali (Rwanda Investment Group -REG) ndetse ngirwa Umuyobozi Mukuru wayo, intego nyamukuru yacu ari ugushora mu mishinga ikomeye yatuma u Rwanda rutera imbere.
New Vision: N’iki cyabaye imbarutso yo gushwana kwawe na Paulo Kagame?

Muyandi magambo Kagame yashimuse RPF. Isigara ari irye ku giti cye, ariwe byose. Ndetse n’abikorera (Private sector) ihinduka igikoresho cya Kagame. Crystal Ventures LTD, ubucuruzi bw’ishyaka rya FPR yagiye itwara business mukwaha kw’abantu bamwe na bamwe mu gihugu cyacu. Nahise mfata icyemezo ko urwo Rwanda rutakimbereye.

Tribert Ayabatwa Rujugiro: Ibyo n’ibihuha n’ibinyoma. Kagame yifitiye ibye bibazo agomba guhangana nabyo. N’umuntu udashobora guhagarika ko bamurwanyiriza mugihugu imbere cyangwa mubihugu bituranyi. Abari inshuti ze baramuhunze batangiza amashyaka yo kumurwanya. Kagame ashyamiranye n’u Burundi, Uganda n’Afrika y’Epfo.

Kuvuga ko nkorana n’ingabo za Uganda gushaka guhungabanya u Rwanda n’ikinyoma. Magingo aya, Kagame ubwe niwe ugira uruhare mu ihungabana ry’u Rwanda.
New Vision: Ubwo wahungaga u Rwanda wari warahashoye imari zawe bwite, wari unahafite Mall nini cyane muri Kigali n’ibindi. Izo mari wari washoye mu Rwanda byazigendekeye gute?

Yanyambuye kandi inzu yanjye n’umurima (Farm) Yakoresheje itegeko bita “imitungo idafite ba nyirayo”. Tekereza.

Muri iyo nama Museveni yakomeje kunyumvisha ko Kagame yifuza amahoro y’u Rwanda na Uganda kandi ko kugira ngo ayo mahoro aboneke nagombaga kugurisha ibikorwa byanjye muri Uganda hanyuma nkava muri Uganda. Nabwiye Perezida Museveni ko ngiye gushakisha uzangurira ibikorwa byanjye nkava muri Uganda. Sinifuzaga ko akarere kagira ibibazo kubera jyewe.

Mukinyarwanda tugira duti:” n’imvura iragwa igahita”
Any word for your Ugandan and Rwandan brothers and sisters?
Ugandans and Rwandans are brothers and sisters. God determined so. No closure of borders will succeed in dividing our people. The closure by Kagame is a temporary setback for Rwandans and Ugandans that will soon pass – just like Kagame himself will pass. As we say in Kinyarwanda, ”ninvura irangwa igahita” – even rains stop
