    Nubwo bitinda umuntu akibagirwa ariko amagambo yo gushima Imana kuri uyu muryango ntazigera ahagarara , Hermen agira ati: 'Nishimiye cyane ko nshobora kugumana ubuzima nk’uko mubitekereza. 'Muri iki gihe, nabonye cyane ko Imana yansubije kuba njye , kandi ko buri muntu wese yaremewe icyo azakora mu buzima bwe. Imana yaturemye nk’abantu badasanzwe bafite impano zidasanzwe.

    Ntitugomba kuba kopi y’umuntu runaka! Imana ishaka kuvugana na buri muntu ku giti cye, no kumusobanurira neza imirimo yamuteguriye gukora kandi ku giti cye. Nitumenya iyo mirimo twaremewe tugatangira kuyikora, tuzahindukira umugisha abantu benshi badukikije. '

  • Taxi impounded with smuggled minerals #rwanda #RwOT

    The minerals had been smuggled into Rwanda from the neighboring DR. Congo.
    The driver of the taxi Toyota Carina RAB 669T identified as Damascene Jambo, 45, and one Angelique Umulisa, 35, the alleged owner of the minerals, were also arrested in the process.

    Chief Inspector of Police (CIP) Bonaventure Twizere Karekezi, the Police spokesperson of the Western region, said that the taxi was intercepted at about 11 pm as the suspected smugglers were en route to Rubavu town.

    'Earlier that evening, security organs in Rubavu District had received information from residents about consignments of minerals that had been sneaked into Rwanda from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) through a porous border, and kept in a house located in Kanembwe Village of Busigari Cell in Cyanzarwe Sector,' CIP Karekezi said.

    He added: 'The house was put under surveillance until the suspected rightful owner—Angelique Umulisa—arrived with a taxi she had hired, and loaded the minerals which were concealed in five sacks, into the vehicle. Umulisa was arrested alongside her driver, shortly after taking off as they headed to Gisenyi town. The taxi, minerals and suspects were handed over to Gisenyi RIB station, for further management.'

    Following their arrest, Umulisa, who is said to have been engaged in this unlawful mineral business for a while now, stated that she had 150kgs of traumaline.

    However, after measuring, it came to light that the five sacks weighed 250kgs.
    CIP Karekezi thanked the residents, who provided credible information which facilitated the successful operation.

    'There are increased successful operations against smugglers and drug traffickers largely because of the ownership and responsiveness of the people, who provide information,' said the spokesperson.

    Article 54 of the law on mining and quarry operations, states that; 'any person, who undertakes mineral or quarry exploration, exploitation, processing or trading without a licence commits an offence.'

    Upon conviction, the offender is liable to imprisonment for a term of between two and six months and a fine of not less than one million Rwandan francs (FRW 1,000,000) and not more than five million Rwandan francs (FRW 5,000,000) or only one of these penalties.

    The court also orders confiscation of any seized minerals or quarry in storage, trading or processing without a license.

  • Lockdown is inevitable-Prof Shyaka #rwanda #RwOT

    The warning is contained in his message after it became clear that many people have already given up on COVID-19 prevention measures, while the outbreak has not gone away despite of the fact that active cases are few.

    As of Sunday, police had arrested more than 230 people in bars with alcohol, in violation of COVID-19 prevention guidelines.

    In an interview with Television Rwanda, Minister Shyaka said: 'So obviously we are still sleeping, without taking steps to implement the given precautions, Lockdown is inevitable. We repeat it, maybe more than a week or two, but if that continues, that’s a problem that we are throwing ourselves into, and yet we have a choice to avoid it.”

    He said that people should return to complying with measures of prevention, and involved organs to punish and to take necessary measures because people seem to have become careless of the situation.

    'You could see there was some sort of laziness because most people saw the numbers going down and started thinking we have prevailed on the Covid,” he observed.

    'That is the mistake that has been made all over the world, where the countries that have eased the lockdown to going back to total lockdown again. So, we would only resort to this as a last resort. “

    Countries have recently returned to total lockdown after have been open for a long time with an increasing number of activities including France, Germany, and the UK, even Italy is getting ready to go back.

    However, there is hope that the vaccine will be available in the coming months, after a 90% chance of protection from infection by Pfizer and BioNTech.

    On Monday, the Ministry of Health said that two deaths in Rwamagana district were the newest cases of the covid-19 in Rwanda, bringing the number of deaths to 38.

    Since March 14, 2020, when the first patient was found in Rwanda, 571,902 Coronavirus samples had been taken, of which 5242 cases were confirmed. Of those, 4967 recovered, while 237 are still active cases.

    Prof Shyaka Anastase, said that if Rwandans continue to neglect directives, it is possible that in the next few days they will be returned into lockdown

  • Une riziculture de 20 ha entierement abimee par les pluies diluviennes a Nyamasheke #rwanda #RwOT

    Les coopérateurs louaient les prestations des ingénieurs du MINAGRI qui ont loti le marais et préparé le lit de la rivière Nyagahembe avant le semis du riz.

    ” Malheureusement, la dite rivière a gonflé sous l’effet des fortes pluies que nous avons connues ces derniers jours. Elle est sortie de son lit pour se répandre dans nos champs qui ont été complètement inondés. Notre action s’avère improductive. A travers les Travaux communautaires, nous essayons de creuser des rigoles pour canaliser ces eaux de pluies mais nos efforts sont insuffisants “, a confié au Umuseke.rw, un coopérateur, un certain Joseph Nyirishema appelant ainsi à l’aide des pouvirs publics pour voir si ces coopérateurs peuvent récupérer quelques cultures.

    Prumien, un autre coopérateur qui avait préparé trois blocs de culture de riz, lui, n’a plus un quelconque espoir. Tout est abimé. ” J’ai tenté de repiquer d’autres plants de riz, ç’a été également complètement inondé “, a-t-il dit avec dépit. Lui et ses camarades ont alors abandonné tout effort.

    Ah ! Mais c’est que le génie rural exercé sur ce marais était faible. Les autorités agricoles n’y ont pas mis assez de moyens !!!

    Le directeur de l’Agriculture et Ressources naturelles près le district, Albert Sengambe, trouve que ces fermiers agricoles malheureux exploitent une partie du marais qui n’est pas loti, que la partie lotie en 2009 est sauve, qu’elle donne 90 tonnes de riz par saison agricole.

    Oui mais il n’explique pas pourquoi toutes ces onze années, cette autre partie n’est pas encore lotie en attendant 2021. C’est dire que beaucoup de fonctionnaires du pays ont peu de conscience de l’étendue de leur mission de travail, qu’ils ne compatissent pas avec le dur labeur des paysans.

  • COVID-19: 20 new cases, 2 deaths #rwanda #RwOT

    Fourteen of the 20 new cases emerged in the Eastern Province district of
    Rwamagana, which have not been among the hotspot districts since the first case of COVID-19 was detected in the country in March this year.

    The two deaths were also recorded in the same district, with the Ministry of Health revealing that the two were 45-year old males, passing on condolences to their families.

    The Eastern Province districts of Kirehe, Nyagatare, Ngoma and now Rwamagana have registered several cases over the last months, mainly due exposure to cross-border infections, mainly linked to trucks or movement of goods.

    The City of Kigali however continues to register few numbers, with just one among the new cases, Huye district in Southern Province has 3 while Kayonza and Kirehe districts have one each.

    The total cases so far detected in Rwanda are 5,242, of whom 4,967 or 95 percent have recovered, while 237 remain active cases. A total of 571, 902 tests have been conducted, with 1,293 new tests conducted over the last 24 hours.

    Coronavirus symptoms include coughing, flu, and difficulty in breathing. The virus is said to be transmitted through the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract.

    Rwandans are required to continue to comply with government regulations, especially with frequent washing of hands and water and soap, wearing masks when leaving home or in public.

Il a montré qu’il était bien disposé pour répondre au rendez vous d’aujourd’hui mais que les procédures de dépistage du Covid19 et d’obtention du Certificat médical lui permettant de voyager sont longues à Arusha-Dar-Es-Salaam en Tanzanie.

    Stephen Stenning, Head of Arts & Society, British Council, says:

    'The Disaster and Climate Change Mitigation pilot to support cultural heritage at risk from climate change is an urgent area of focus for the global heritage community. With continued support from DCMS, this alert to our shared environmental vulnerabilities has resulted in some extraordinary international partnership projects. Sharing concerns and solutions around the impact of climate change, from North Yorkshire in the UK to the Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda, is a great example of the mutually beneficial collaborations at the heart of the Cultural Protection Fund.'

     

    The Disaster and Climate Change Mitigation Fund was announced in 2019, as part of an additional funding round of the Cultural Protection Fund.

     

    Established in 2016, the original £30 million Cultural Protection Fund, is a partnership between the British Council and the UK Government's Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, to protect heritage at risk in countries in and around the Middle East and North Africa.
