The laboratory built at the University of Rwanda (UR), Remera Campus is the first ever with such facilities established in Rwanda and the second in the East African Community (EAC).

The laboratory built at a cost of over Rwf 400 million has capacity to conduct examinations to identify the person’s nature of disability, needed prosthesis and orthosis to be produced within a short period of time.

The laboratory comes in handy to address challenges facing persons with disabilities who would not engage in sporting activities due to lack of proper prosthesis.

Emmanuel Ndayisaba, the Executive Secretary of National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPD) explained that the laboratory will address some of the challenges facing persons living with disabilities.

'It is a great infrastructure giving relief to persons with disabilities as they will get prosthesis easily. As you know, we have launched a program to promote sports among these persons but we had no equipment to engage in sports especially athletics. We didn’t have appropriate prosthesis for physical exercises. The laboratory is to bridge the gap and will be helpful to those who could not participate in competitions,' he said.

Jeanne Kagwiza, the Acting Principal of College of Medicine and Health Science at UR explained that the laboratory will sharpen students’ skills given that the university already had a prosthetics and orthotics department where 53 have graduated at the school and employed in various institutions.

'We already have students enrolled in courses equipping them with skills in prosthetics and orthotics department which had no own laboratory. The facility will acquaint students with practical skills and advanced knowledge,' she said.

The Minister of Education, Dr. Valentine Uwamariya also highlighted that having the workshop in Rwanda, is a guarantee that the University of Rwanda will produce skilled Prosthetic and Orthotic technologists required at regional and international market.

'I am happy that this workshop is expected to be a solution to not only students as a practical site, but also to the Rwandan community in regards to rehabilitation services. I highly appreciate the support of National and international partners of the University of Rwanda especially ICRC and welcome other projects in the pipeline that will further confirm existing strong ties between the Government of Rwanda and development patterns in education,' she noted.

Rwanda has over 446,000 people with disabilities across the country. There are over 51,000 people with disabilities out of registered 154,000 disabled people who need prostheses.

The University of Rwanda is developing a Bachelors program in Prosthetics and Orthotics for professionals at Bachelors, Masters, and PhD levels to curb the need for the country to provide quality service and training programs.

As of 2019, 53 orthopedic technologists (Associate Prosthetist & Orthotist) have graduated from the University of Rwanda. They are working in different settings namely Hospitals (44), Private Rehabilitation (2), NGOs (3), and Prosthetics and Orthotics Centres as well as education (4).

Subhash Sihna, Regional Physical Rehabilitation Manager for East Africa at the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) explained that the support for the construction of the facility was meant to help persons with disabilities enjoy life like other members of the community by providing easy access to prosthesis.

A prosthesis at the newly inaugurated laboratory ranges between Rwf300,000 and Rwf3 million depending on needed equipment.

Ndayisaba revealed that they are conducting advocacy for Mutuelle de Santé to cater for prosthesis.

ICRC has also committed to build two more prosthetics and orthotics laboratories in Rwanda next year.

On soupçonne qu’il décède des suites de la Covid 19.
Il aura gouverné le Burundi depuis 1987 à la faveur d’un coup d’Etat contre son cousin, le très national et dynamique Jean Baptiste Bagaza.

Le président Pierre Buyoya gouvernera le Burundi jusqu’en 1993, date à laquelle il organisera des élections démocratiques en l’absence de toutes les stratégies et analyses possibles devant permettre une passation en douce de pouvoir aux éventuels nouveaux venus en politique, ceux du parti Sahwanya Frodébu (Front pour la Démocratie au Burundi) qui s’était construit et s’était étendu à la base populaire dans le secret bien avant sa prise de pouvoir.

Par cette impréparation, le Burundi est retombé dans une insécurité mêlée de pogroms des Tutsi. Cela a été dû à l’assassinat du président démocratiquement élu Melchior Ndadaye qui n’avait pas su respecter les institutions burundaises qu’il avait trouvées sur le terrain. Il brûlait d’opérer des changements profonds.

Pierre Buyoya reviendra trois ans après au pouvoir grâce à une crise socio politique profonde qui a secoué le Burundi et rerégnera de 1996 à 2003.

Tout au long de son règne, Buyoya aura montré qu’il était dépassé par les événements. Son règne aura été marqué par des tâtonnements et des menaces d’une frange personnalités hutu soucieuses d’arriver à accaparer le pouvoir sans partage.

Dans tout ce cafouillis et d’intérêts antagonistes, Buyoya se sera montré moins stratège politique. Ses intérêts personnels n’ont pas épousé les aspirations des uns et des autres malgré le militaire qui dormait en lui.

Iyo usomye Bibiliya igaragaza ko icyazanye Yesu ari ukugira ngo abazamwizera, bakamukurikira bazabone ubugingo kandi bwinshi.

'Umujura ntazanwa n’ikindi keretse kwiba no kwica no kurimbura, ariko jyeweho nazanywe no kugira ngo zibone ubugingo ndetse ngo zibone bwinshi.” (Yohana 10:10); ubugingo bwinshi bisobanuye: umwuka, ubugingo n’umubiri biguwe neza kandi bitariho umugayo.

Intumwa Pawulo yandikira Itorero ry’i Tesalonike yasobanuriye abarigize ibice by’ingenzi biranga umukirisitu ukuze utabonekaho umugayo kugeza igihe Yesu azagarukira. Ibi bivuze ko n’abakuru b’itorero ry’i Tesalonike bagombaga kurera abakirisitu bakitwararika ku kumenya ko bakuze mu mwuka, ubugingo n’umubiri.

Umukirisitu udakuze muri ibi byiciro aba ariho umugayo mu maso y’Imana kandi umuyobozi w’itorero udakuza abo ayoboye mu mwuka, mu bugingo no mu mubiri ntabwo aba asohoje umugambi w’Imana ku bo ayoboye.

“Imana y’amahoro ibeze rwose, kandi mwebwe ubwanyu n’umwuka wanyu, n’ubugingo n’umubiri byose birarindwe, bitazabaho umugayo ubwo Umwami wacu Yesu Kristo azaza.” (1 Abatesalonike 5:23).

Dushingiye ku byo dusoma muri Bibiliya bivuze ko uko abantu bemera Yesu Kirisitu, bamukurikira n’imibereho yabo yakagombye kuba ihinduka kandi neza.

Bamwe mu bayobozi b’amatorero n’amadini atandukanye , mu butumwa babwira abayoboke bayo ni uko bazajya mu Ijuru, babaha amasezerano yo kubaho neza, gutunga amafaranga menshi, kubona abagore n’abagabo, kwiga amashuri menshi, kuzamurwa mu ntera n’ibindi.

Mu gihe itorero rifite inshingano zo kwigisha no guhindura abantu haba mu mico no mu myifatire, benshi bibaza impamvu ki ubwiyongere bw’amadini n’amatorero bitajyana n’impinduka mu buzima bw’abayagana?

Uko amadini n’amatorero yiyongera niko n’ibyaha byiyongera

Imibare y’Urwego rw’Igihugu rw’Imiyoborere, RGB, yo kuva u Rwanda rwabona ubwigenge mu mwaka wa 1962 kugeza mu 2012, yerekana ko mu gihugu habarurwaga amatorero n’amadini atarenga 180. Naho kuva mu 2012 kugeza mu 2018, amadini n’amatorero yageze ku 1500.

Aya si yo gusa ari mu Rwanda ahubwo niyo yiyandikishije muri RGB kandi itegeko riteganya ko n’utariyandikishije ashobora gusaba icyangombwa mu murenge agakora, bivuze ko ashobora kurenga.

Mu mibare itangazwa na Minisiteri y’Ubuzima y’abana basambanyijwe bagaterwa inda z’imburagihe bakabyarira kwa muganga igenda yiyongera. Mu 2016, abo bangavu bari 17,849; mu 2017 baba 17,337, umwaka wa 2018 bageze ku 19,832, mu gihe imibare y’abasambanyijwe bagaterwa inda hagati y’ukwezi kwa Mutarama na Kanama 2019 bari 15,656.

Imibare itangazwa n’Ubushinjacyaha igaragaza ko muri rusange mu Rwanda, kuva muri Nyakanga 2017 kugera mu Ukuboza kwa 2019, amadosiye y’abasambanyije abana yashyikirijwe Ubushinjacyaha yari 8,212, ayoherejwe mu nkiko yari 5,305, naho imanza zasomwe kugeza icyo gihe zari 4,026, muri zo Ubushinjacyaha bwatsinze izigera ku 3,043.

Muri raporo y’ikigo cy’ibarurishamibare yiswe 'Rwanda Vital Statistics Report 2019′ hagaragajwe ko muri gatanya zatanzwe n’inkiko zo mu Rwanda mu mwaka ushize, mu Mujyi wa Kigali hatanzwe 2400, mu Majyepfo ni 1989, mu Burengerazuba ni 1820, mu Burasirazuba hatanzwe 1482 naho mu Majyaruguru ziba 1250.

Ufashe gatanya zatanzwe mu 2019 ukagereranya n’imiryango yashyingiwe mu buryo bwemewe n’amategeko uwo mwaka, wavuga ko nibura mu 100, imiryango 18.4 yatandukanye Kuko imibare yakusanyijwe mu ikoranabuhanga rikoreshwa n’inzego z’ibanze igaragaza ko uwo mwaka hashyingiwe imiryango 48526 mu buryo bwemewe n’amategeko.

Ubushakashatsi bushya bwa NISR ku baturage n’imibereho yabo bwa 2020 bugaragaza ko mu Rwanda abana bari munsi y’imyaka itanu y’amavuko bagwingiye kubera imirire mibi ari 33%.

Dushingiye ku kigereranyo kivuga ko byibura 94% by’Abanyarwanda ari abayoboke bafite amadini n’amatorero babarizwamo, kandi kuva 2012 kugeza mu 2018 aya madini n’amatorero akaba yariyongereye ku kigero cya 833%, uwavuga ko abenshi mu bana basambanyijwe bagaterwa inda z’imburagihe n’ababasambanjije, abenshi bahamwe n’ibyaha mu nkiko, abenshi mu bashakanye batandukanye, abana bagwingiye ari ababarizwa mu madini n’amatorero atandukanye ntiyaba agiye kure y’ukuri.

Ibi bigaragaza ko abayobozi b’amadini n’amatorero n’abayoboke babo batageze ku ntego yazanye Yesu yo kugira ngo intama zibone ubugingo ndetse ubugingo bwinshi kandi ntibashoboye kubahiriza impuguro za Pawulo zo kwezwa no kurindwa mu mwuka, mu bugingo no mu mubiri.

Abayobozi b’amadini n’amatorero bakwiye guhindura inyigisho, abayoboke nabo bagahindura imyumvire n’imyitwarire.

Yesu yabwiye Abayuda bamwemeye ko bakwiye kumenya ukuri kandi uko kuri kukababatura. 'Nuko Yesu abwira Abayuda bamwemeye ati “Nimuguma mu ijambo ryanjye muzaba abigishwa banjye nyakuri, namwe muzamenya ukuri kandi ukuri ni ko kuzababatura.” (Yohana 8:31;32).

Abayobozi b’amadini n’amatorero bakwiye guhindura inyigisho bakabwira abayoboke babo ukuri kuko umukirisitu muzima ari ufite ibikwiye byose mu mwuka, mu bugingo no mu mubiri.

Bakwiye kubatoza gusabana n’Imana mu mwuka, bagasenga, bakiga ijambo ryayo kandi bakayoborwa n’Umwuka Wera, bakabatoza kubana n’abandi neza, bakirinda ibikomeretsa ibyiyumviro, amarangamutima n’ibisongamubiri byabo kuko nibwo bazaba bazima mu mwuka.

Abanyamadini bakwiye kwigisha abayoboke babo gukora cyane, guhuza ibyo bizera nk’amasezerano n’amahame yo gukora cyane azatuma babona ibyo kurya no kunywa, kwambara n’ibindi bibahagije.

Abayobozi b’amadini n’amatorero bakwiye guhagarika kwigisha abayoboke babo ko hari icyo bashobora kubona mu bifatika by’uyu munsi batakoze ndetse n’abumvise ubwo butumwa na bo bakabushungura ntibabumire bunguri.

Ubuhanuzi bwizeza abantu ibitangaza bubusanye n’ijambo ry’Imana kuko ritubwira ko abakiranutsi bazagubwa neza kuko bazatungwa n’imirimo y’amaboko yabo.

Muri Yesaya 3:10 hagira hati 'Muvuge ko abakiranutsi bazagubwa neza, kuko bazatungwa n’imirimo y’amaboko yabo”.

Abayoboke b’amadini nabo, bakwiye gushishoza mu kwakira no gukurikira ibyo bigishwa kuko niba umuntu akubwira ibintu bidahindura ubuzima bwawe umwaka umwe, ibiri cyangwa itatu, ukwiye kubona ko uwo muntu udakwiye gukomeza kumutega amatwi kandi bakwiye kureka imyumvire ibashyira mu bubata bwo kumva ko hari icyo bageraho badakoze.

Bakwiye gutera umugongo ubuhanuzi bw’ibitangaza, inyigisho zibasaba gutanga ibitambo n’ibindi ngo nibwo Imana izabakorera ibi nibi bakazihunza. Ikintu kimwe cyonyine kizakubwira ko idini cyangwa itorero urimo ari iry’ikinyoma kandi ukwiye kurivamo ni uko uzamaramo igihe runaka nta mpinduka ugira mu mwuka, mu bugingo no mu mubiri.

Ubwo Yesu yaganiraga n’umusamariyakazi yasanze ku iriba akamusaba amazi yo kunywa, yagerageje kubwira Yesu amateka y’imihango yabo itarashoboraga gutuma babana neza ariko Yesu amubwira ko igihe kigeze kandi gisohoye ko abantu bakwiye kuva mu mitekerereze ya kera itagira icyo ibahinduraho yaba mu mwuka, mu bugingo no mu mubiri ahubwo bagahindura uburyo bagasengera mu kuri no mu Mwuka.

Birakwiye ko abayobozi b’amadini n’amatorero n’abayoboke babo bareka gukomeza kugendera ku myizerere, imitekerereze itagira icyo ibahinduraho ahubwo ikintu cyose bakagikora mu mwanya wacyo.

Leta ifite inshingano zo kurinda abenegihugu, kubashakira icyabagirira umumaro no kubungabunga ubuzima bwabo ni yo mpamvu muri iki gihe isi yose ihanganye n’icyorezo cya COVID-19, Leta yagiye ishyiraho ingamba zikomeye zo kurinda abenegihugu iki cyorezo.

Muri gahunda zashyizweho harimo gushyira igihugu cyose muri Guma mu Rugo, gusubika amashuri, gufunga insengero, kwambara udupfukamunwa, gufunga ibikorwa by’ubucuruzi hafi ya byose byinjizaga imisoro myinshi mu isanduku ya Leta. Ibi byose byakozwe ku neza yo kubungabunga ubuzima bw’abenegihugu kabone n’ubwo hari benshi baba batabyumvaga cyangwa ngo bibagwe neza.

Mu myaka ishize, u Rwanda rwashyizeho ingamba nyinshi zatumye abantu benshi cyane cyane urubyiruko bayoboka ikoranabuhanga ibintu byose bica ku ikoranabuhanga, imbuga nkoranyambaga ziriyongera, ibizivugirwaho biba byinshi n’ibindi.

Kuba urubyiruko arirwo rugize umubare munini w’abakurikirana ibi bikorwa by’imyidagaduro: indirimbo, Filimi, ibiganiro, n’ibindi bitambuka ku mbuga nkoranyambaga kandi abazikoresha (ba nyirimbuga nkoranyambaga) abenshi ari abashakira inyungu mu bwinshi (mubare) bw’abakurikiranye ibiganiro byashyizwe kuri izo mbuga nkoranyambaga batitaye ku ngaruka bizagira ku bazireba, bituma abenshi bashyiraho ibintu bikurura abazijyaho bishobora gushyira mu kaga ubuzima bw’ababikurikirana cyane cyane abana n’urubyiruko.

Iyo ukurikiranye neza indirimbo zitandukanye ziri gucurangwa kuri Radiyo no ku mbuga nkoranyambaga nka :Youtube, instgram n’izindi usanga ari indirimbo zuzuyemo amagambo yo kwamamaza ubusambanyi, zikangurira urubyiruko gukora ubusambanyi, kunywa ibisindisha n’ibiyobyabwenge muri rusange, kwerekana ko urukundo nyarwo rushingiye ku mibonano mpuzabitsina n’ibindi.

Ugenzuye neza ibivugirwa muri izo ndirimbo, umubare w’abazikurikira, uburyo radiyo zizicuranga batitaye ku butumwa bubi buzikubiyemo, uburyo abana n’urubyiruko bazifata mu mutwe bazisubiramo kandi bagerageza gukora ibikubiye mu mashusho baba babonye muri izo ndirimbo, ubona ko ari ikibazo gikomeye kibangamiye umuco nyarwanda n’ejo hazaza h’abana n’urubyiruko bari kuzumva uyu munsi.

Abahanga mu mitekerereze ya muntu, bahamya ko indirimbo ari cyo kintu cyonyine gishobora guhindura imitekerereze ya muntu n’imyitwarire mu buryo bworoshye kandi zishobora kwifashishwa mu kwimakaza umuco no kuwutoza abakiri bato cyangwa kuwangiza no kuwugoreka mu buryo bworoshye kuko indirimbo ni cyo cyonyine gikora ku marangamutima no kubitekerezo bya muntu icyarimwe. Biroroha gufata amagambo no kwigana ibikorwa: nk’amashusho, imyambarire, imigendere, imivugire, inyogosho n’ibindi biri mu ndirimbo kuruta ibyo umuntu yigiye ahandi.

Mu mateka y’isi na Muzika, byagaragaye ko indirimbo zakoreshejwe mu gusenya umuco, kubiba ingengabitekerezo y’amacakubiri, gukangurira abantu kwigomeka, gukwirakwiza ingeso z’ubusambanyi, kunywa ibiyobyabwenge n’ibindi. Iyo hatabayeho kugenzurira hafi ubutumwa butangwa mu ndirimbo biteza ikibazo gikomeye muri Sosiyete.

Indirimbo ni kimwe mu bintu byibanze umuntu akenera mu buzima bwa buri munsi, kandi n’iyo nzira ikomeye yizewe yihuta inyuzwamo ubutumwa, ubutanze akaba yizeye ko bugera ku bantu bose bo mu byiciro bitandukanye byo mu kigero gitandukanye.

Indirimbo niyo nzira ikomeye kandi yagiye ikoreshwa n’abantu batandukanye baba abanyepolitike, abihaye Imana, abaharanira impinduramatwara zitandukanye mu kugeza ubutumwa bwabo ku bantu mu rwego rwo guhindura imitekerereze yabo n’ibindi.

Indirimbo zikoreshwa mu icengezamatwara no mu guhindura imitekerereze y’abantu ikindi kandi indirimbo ni yo nzira yonyine yo kwigisha no kurinda umuco, indangagaciro z’igihugu: itsinda ry’abantu runaka ariko na none ku rundi ruhande indirimbo niyo ntwaro kirimbuzi yakunze gukoreshwa mu kubiba ingengabitekerezo mbi mu bice bitandukanye by’isi.

Nk’uko bigenwa n’amategeko cyane cyane Itegeko Nshinga rya Repubulika y’u Rwanda ryo muri 2003 nk’uko ryavuguruwe muri 2015 kugeza ubu, cyane cyane mu mutwe waryo wa kabiri, mu ngingo ya 8, umutwe wa gatatu mu ngingo ya 11, umutwe wa kane mu ngingo ya 18,19,38 n’iya 41 n’umutwe wa gatanu mu ngingo ya 47, rigaragaza ko Leta ifite inshingano zo kurinda umuco no kuwuteza imbere, kurinda umwana n’urubyiruko ikintu icyo aricyo cyose cyamuhungabanya mu mitekerereze, kubahiriza uburenganzira bwa muntu hirindwa icyahungabanya ituze rusange rya muntu, kubungabunga umuryango no kuwurinda icyawuhungabanya hibandwa cyane kuburenganzira bw’umwana n’umugore.

Mu ngingo zavuzwe z’Itegeko Nshinga, zigaragaza aho uburenganzira bwa buri wese butangirira n’aho bugarukira yaba mu gutanga ibitekerezo, imyemerere n’ibindi. Uburenganzira bwa buri wese, yaba umuhanzi, umunyamakuru, umuvugabutumwa, n’abandi bugarukira mu kubungabunga ituze rya rubanda.

Indirimbo y’ubahiriza igihugu cya Repubulika y’u Rwanda igice cya kabiri igira iti:' Horana Imana murage mwiza ibyo tugukesha ntibishyikirwa, umuco dusangiye uraturanga, ururimi rwacu rukaduhuza, ubwenge umutima, amaboko yacu nibigukungahaze bikwiye nuko utere imbere ubutitsa.'

Iki gice k’iyi ndirimbo kigaragaza neza icyo buri wese agomba gushyira imbere mu bikorwa bye bya buri munsi no mu burenganzira bwe mu nyungu z’igihugu: icya mbere ni ukumenya ko igihugu ari wo murage w’abenegihugu akaba ari nayo ngobyi ibahetse kandi inkingi zigize igihugu ni umuco (indangagaciro na kirazira) n’ururimi (ikinyarwanda), n’imyemerere mizima.

Ntibishoboka ko igihugu cyatera imbere mu gihe umuco n’ururimi byacyo byatakaye. Umunyarwanda yaciye umugani agira ati:”agahugu katagira umuco karacika.”

Ababyeyi n’umuryango muri rusange nabo bafite inshingano zo kwigisha abana n’urubyiruko ibyo bakwiye guhitamo kureba ndetse no kumva kandi bibafitiye umumaro.

Mu gihe nta gikozwe urubyiruko rugakomeza kwigishwa ku mugaragaro ubusambanyi nuko bukorwa binyuze mu bihangango binyuzwa ku mbuga nkoranyambaga, umusaruro wabyo uzakomeza kuba mubi ku muryango nyarwanda.

Remains of over 5000 victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi have been exhumed in a 24.6 meter-deep mass grave in Kiziguro sector of Gatsibo district.

The activity carried out by Gatsibo district in partnership with IBUKA (umbrella organization of genocide survivors) lasted over one month from 12th October was completed on 18th November 2020.

The President of IBUKA in Gatsibo district, Sibomana Jean Népomucène has told IGIHE that it was a difficult activity that bulldozers were utilized to exhume remains in the mass grave.

'As we exhumed remains, we reached a rocky- surface. We were obliged to utilize a bulldozer to exhume remains from the 24.6 deep-meter mass grave. We estimate the number of remains to be over 5000. Some of them have been damaged; others mixed with soil that it is not easy to precise the exact figure,' he said.

Sibomana revealed that they are spraying chemicals especially on damaged remains to ensure safety of people cleaning them.

'We will concurrently cleaning clothes and remains and hope to have completed the new memorial under construction at the beginning of the next commemoration period in April where we will lay them decently,' he noted.

Sibomana appealed on people to reveal whereabouts more victims are dumped to accord them decent burial and soothe relatives’ hearts.

He explained that they are negotiating with families who laid 253 remains of relatives at homes in Bugarura of Remera sector so that they can be relocated to the decent memorial being constructed.

Kiziguro memorial being upgraded is home to 142,000 remains of genocide victims killed in former Commune Murambi.

Jean Baptiste Gatete, the mayor of former Murambi commune who was behind the killings of Tutsis in the area was convicted and handed 40-year sentence which he is serving in Arusha.
