Ati “Nk’ubu hari abanyeshuri bari bageze mu wa kabiri none aho bagiye kwiga basubijwe mu wa mbere na ho abari mu wa gatatu bagarurwa mu wa kabiri mu gihe bumvaga bagiye kurangiza kwiga, birabangamye. Kugeza ubu hari abanyeshuri bakijya kwiga ariko hari n’abandi byananiye kuko batarabona amanota yabo”.
Yongeraho ko kugeza ubu nk’abo biganaga mu ishami ry’icungamutungo bagera ku 100 nta n’umwe wabonye amanota ye yose, bivuze ko ari ikibazo rusange ku banyeshuri bize muri Christian Unuversity.
Mu minsi ishize ni bwo hari kaminuza zafunzwe kubera ibibazo bitandukanye bijyanye n’imicungire yazo, zirimo UNIK yabaga mu Karere ka Ngoma yari imenyerewe nka INATEK, hari Christian University of Rwanda yari mu Mujyi wa Kigali, Indangaburezi College of Education (ICE) yari mu Karere ka Ruhango na KIM iherutse gufunga imiryango kubera ikibazo cy’amikoro.
Mu kwezi gushize ni bwo ikibazo cy’abanyeshuri bavuye muri kaminuza zafunzwe cy’uko babuze amanota yabo cyasakujwe ari byo byatumye kwiga kwabo bigorana.
Kuri icyo kibazo, Minisitiri w’Uburezi Dr Valentine Uwamariya, yavuze ko nta gisubizo gifatika gihari kuko hari zimwe muri izo kaminuza zahise zihura n’ibibazo bikomeye.
Ati “Nta gisubizo kiboneye dufite ku banyeshuri batakaje amanota yabo, cyane ko natwe tutabona aho duhera, ni ikibazo gikomeye. Hari abanyeshuri bibaza niba atari ubuyobozi bwa kamunuza bwabimye amanota yabo, ntabwo ari byo ahubwo barayatanze”.
Ati “Ikindi kibazo ni uko na bamwe mu bagombye gukemura icyo kibazo bafunze. Gusa turimo gukorana n’Inama nkuru ishinzwe uburezi (HEC), kugira ngo turebe uko cyakemuka. Gusa ntabwo byoroshye kuko hari abanyeshuri bavuga ko barangije amasomo ariko nta cyangombwa na kimwe kibyerekana”.
Zimwe muri kaminuza zakiriye abo banyeshuri ariko zikabasaba gusubira inyuma y’umwaka bigagamo ni kaminuza ya Kigali (UK), Kaminuza yigenga ya Kigali (ULK), Kaminuza y’Abadivantisiti b’umunsi wa karindwi muri Afurika yo Hagati (AUCA) na Mount Kenya University.
Abo banyeshuri kugeza ubu bari mu gihirahiro, bagasaba abo bireba ko babafasha kugira ngo ibibazo byabo.
By Zohra Yermeche, Program Director for Connect To Learn at Ericsson
The COVID-19 crisis, and the impact which it has had on learning across the world, has highlighted many of the digital disparities which exist in today's world. At a time when many of the world's students shifted from physical to digital, we were also faced with the hard truth that today there are still 3.6 billion people in the world who are unconnected.
For students in the connected half of the world, the story is much different. While 1.2 billion children were affected by school closures across much of the world, our recent Consumer COVID-19 report found that students were able to substitute physical learning by spending 230 percent more time on digital learning tools such as Google Class, Epic! and Seesaw Class.
This of course is a significant rise, but it is also an acceleration of a trend which we have steadily been tracking since our first Connect To Learn program exactly ten years ago.
The State of Broadband 2020 report estimates that there are twice as many people today who use the Internet compared to 2010. This rise in digital literacy, together with the imminent period of rapid digitalization of the economy, means that ensuring fair and equal access to both education and future job markets will rest on the extent of digital inclusion within our societies.
What is digital inclusion and why is it so important today?
Today, technology plays a much bigger role in the quality and scope of how we learn, such as new digital learning platforms which are estimated to reach 350 billion USD by 2025; what we learn, with a growing emphasis on programming, robotics, AI and automation; and how we can use it in the job market, with digital skillsets increasingly becoming a prerequisite of tomorrow's workforce.
The changes which are happening today show the disparity between the developed and undeveloped world. If you are not connected, that shows you the leap which you have to make between the connectivity aspect, access to education and benefits which are derived from that.
Closing this digital divide, with those who are not connected or not considered to be digitally literate, is imperative to ensuring a fair distribution of digital opportunities across countries, locations, gender, socioeconomic status, and age.
Impact of digital inclusion on GDP and the job market
Ten years ago, geopolitical discussions largely focused on competence development for teachers, with little priority given to digital policy beyond essential connectivity requirements.
Today, the policy landscape is beginning to look very different and the emergence of the digital economy is driving this change. For example, when we look at digital inclusion in the context of the job market, it is predicted that the 5G digital economy alone will create 22.3 million jobs worldwide in the coming decade. This has repercussions on GDP too, as having a workforce that is not digitally skilled is of course not compatible with a digitized economy.
As such, we already see today how governments are prioritizing digital inclusion in their policy agendas, notably at this year's G20 summit. There seems to be more emphasis and regulation to support digital education, and the impact that has on an awakening of the rest of the economy.
While governments first priority in digitalizing their societies is on setting up the tools, providing connectivity to enable tomorrow's digital services, it's also important that people know how to use them and how to use them responsibly. Digital literacy and capacity building are some key elements that governments and private enterprises should continue to work on in the next few years. These efforts must be well coordinated, scaled up and based on evidence-based policymaking, as laid out in the UN Roadmap for Digital Cooperation (page 8).
Access to education in the digital age
In 2010, we co-founded the Connect To Learn initiative with the Earth Institute at Columbia University and Millennium Promise, with a focus on delivering connectivity and ICT tools to enhance teaching and learning in unconnected, underprivileged and largely unrepresented communities.
Since our first projects in the Millennium Villages, we've helped to connect and increase the digital inclusion of more than 200,000 students worldwide. As the program has evolved, we have increased our efforts to close the digital divide not just in terms of connectivity, but from a content, syllabus and platform side which is fundamental.
As a technology company, we quickly discovered that we can offer so much more than connectivity, but furthermore can help improve learning processes and methodologies so learning can become more impactful. For example, through partnerships with like-minded organizations, we have helped to digitalize and disseminate content through digital learning tools such as mobile apps.
One of the biggest differences from ten years ago is also that the nature of technology in an educational context, both as a medium and a means to enter the job market was still relatively immature as the landscape has evolved, we've come to understand the need to personalize and individualize learning so that we can improve learning outcomes in a meaningful way.
Giving people access to the right type of content is one aspect, another equally critical aspect is the human element. On top of the digital layer, students will still always need the engagement, inspiration and activation that comes from teachers and trainers who know about the topic. I believe that, even in the digital age, technology will never be able to replace this interaction, but rather can serve as an increasingly innovative medium for those critical learner-instructor interactions, such as through the Internet of Skills.
Digital inclusion through public-private partnerships
Today, there is a significant need for digital skills courses. Key technology areas such as AI, robotics and app development are advancing at such a rapid pace, which can make it difficult to ensure an effective transfer of competence to emerging workforces.
Such is the pace of change for topics such as these, public academic institutions will invariably struggle to take learning beyond a basic theoretical level. Public-private partnerships will therefore be key to addressing this, by developing advanced curriculums and delivering the necessary quality and scale of access.
As a sustainability pioneer in the private sector, we've understood the power of partnership, which is why we're investing heavily in building out those partnerships with like-minded entities to create sustainable solutions in order to address the issues which the education sector faces today. A good example of this is the Ericsson Digital Lab program which is now live in several countries in partnership with local schools and community learning centers. The aim here is to share those competences that we have in-house on a much broader scale, addressing those critical skillset demands which are needed in tomorrow's workforce.
This year, in response to the impact which COVID-19 has had on learning, we continuing these efforts by joining the UNESCO-led Global Education Coalition, launching Ericsson Educate and partnering with UNICEF to map school connectivity as part of the Giga project.
Through digital methodologies, and with a focus on improving digital skills for students across all communities, our commitment is to ensure that future generations continue to have the skills and knowledge to find opportunity in a changing digital world. This was what we set out to do when we launched Connect To Learn ten years ago, and this will continue to be our priority in this next critical decade of action. Â

Kigaliâ”On December 9, 2020, the USAID-funded Rwanda Duteze Imbere Ubutabera (DIU) Activity had its final event. This event serves as an opportunity for members of Rwanda's justice sector (JRLOS), stakeholders and development partners to learn about the activity's impact over the last three years and to share recommendations for continued progress in accessing justice.
DIU spanned three-years from February 2018 to January 2021 and aims to increase access to justice and enhance the rule of law in Rwanda through improving judicial effectiveness in both formal court mechanisms and community justice (Abunzi); and improving public understanding of judicial system processes and legal rights.
The virtual event was graced by Hon. Johnston Busingye, Mr. Mr. Dennis WESNER, the Director, Office of Democracy, and Good Governance/ USAID among others and comprise presentations by key stakeholders and beneficiaries that have engaged with the program.
DIU supported the efforts to improve judicial effectiveness in both formal court mechanisms and community justice (Abunzi); and improved public understanding of judicial system processes and legal rights.
For the past 3 years, has built the capacity of more than 6,500 justice sector actors, including 2,836 mediators (Abunzi) and 507 Judges, Court registrars and other judicial personnel, while more than 7,500 individuals were provided with legal aid services.
Through DIU's support to community-prisoner reconciliation and reintegration, more than 10,000 people, including 1,946 prisoners were reached. Through DIU support 550 prisoners were able to voluntarily seek forgiveness from and reconcile with their victims and/or their families.
The project covered a range of technical assistance increasing access to justice including gender equality and social inclusion, monitoring, evaluation, and learning and public awareness activities, including a weekly radio program conducted on five radio stations and community dialogues at the grassroots level, that an estimated 1,334,906 people throughout the entire project life span.
'I personally express my satisfaction for what the Duteze Imbere Ubutabera has achieved so far in terms of legal aid service provision and capacity building of justice sector members. Capacity to Justice Actors and more importantly to justice sector members is critical in enabling justice sector institutions to effectively deliver on their mandates as well as improve the service delivery to Rwandans.' Hon. Johnston Busingye said
The statement released last night shows that the deceased are parents respectively aged 60 and 56.
Among others, 41 people have been infected out of 3654 sample tests while no recovery case recorded.
Rwanda confirmed the first Coronavirus patient on 14th March 2020.
So far , 6278 cases have been found out of 654,322 sample tests of whom 5715 have recovered , 510 are active cases while the death toll stands is 53.
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 urged to adhere to COVID-19 health guidelines, washing hands frequently using soaps and safe water, wearing face masks and respecting social distancing.

Sudan gained independence on 1st January 1956, since then the country has experienced alternating forms of democratic and authoritarian government. Sudan’s period of conflict (1955-1972 and 1983-2005) stands as one of the longest in Africa’s post-independence history.
Continued conflict between the Khartoum-based Government and opposition forces in Sudan’s regions have oftentimes resulted in grave socio-political divides across the country, exacerbated by the struggle over natural resources.'
Interview of the lawyer of Sudan, Ibrahim Yousuf ISHAG
1. How is the current situation in Sudan after the outbreak of COVID19?
Sudan is also affected by covid-19 as it’s the same with most countries globally.
Fortunately, the effect was weak compared with other countries. And that guided the government to declare the medical emergency state in the country for almost six months from February to June.
The total of dead persons was not big. The current situation is stable and people are practicing their activities normally.
2. Has there been any change in your work (or as a lawyer) since the situation of COVID19 Pandemics?
Yes, there was a big change. All courts are shut down, besides all law enforcement agencies, were also closed.
3. What is a way to keep continue peace activities in this global pandemic situation?
I think a suitable way to continue carrying peace activities is peace education like online training and video conferences.
4. We know that Sudan consists of many tribes with various religions. Because of that, there are many conflicts until now. To resolve these internal conflicts and bring peace in Sudan, what are the fundamental works that the governments and religious leaders should do?
Unfortunately the past terrorist Government was the main reason for all conflicts in Darfur. But now the transitional government shows much care to put an end to conflicts in the country by inviting all rebels to round table negotiations to achieve peace. Actually, it succeeded and signed a peace agreement with two rebel groups on third October 2020.
I was targeted twice because of my activities as a human rights activist and as I am a member of the fur tribe. Also, I was jailed many times for the same reasons.
5. Would you tell us the most memorable cases in your career (meaning working as a lawyer)?
Yes, it was the Singita case which took place in 2004 where the Janjaweed (Arab armed militias who used to terrorize Darfur) burned Singita village and killed many people, looted all the properties in this case about 28 of the accused were found guilty and were sentenced to death.
6. I heard that you were detained by the government for trying to inform the UN of the government’s persecution of your tribe. What are the differences between the current government’s policies comparing with the past?
Surely the current government is better than the past one. Because It’s the government of Sudan revolution, which beliefs in equality, and justice, and it also respects human rights. Transitional government’s programs are headed by peace as the top priority.
7. I heard you’re working in human rights groups. What is the biggest human rights issue recently in Sudan?
The current hot human rights issue is the ongoing conflicts in Darfur, especially in Jebel Marra. All through the past week, there was heavy fighting which resulted in wide displacement, killing, mass rape.
8. What do you think about the current state of peace in Sudan, compared to before and after the transitional government?
The state of peace in Sudan is not stable It’s fragile. Also, there is a new peace agreement signed on 3 October 2020 but it seems that it will not bring comprehensive peace there are still other rebels groups fighting against the government.
9. When did you feel the need for peace in your real life?
In 2003 when the war broke out in Darfur. Peace is my aim so I decided to do for that goal and support any activities concerning peace.
10. What plans do you have in the future as a lawyer and a peace activist?
As a lawyer, I’ve been providing legal ids for vulnerable groups such as women and children for a long time, so I’ll continue to do those activities. Of course, I will do my work to raise awareness among communities, and bring the perpetrators to justice.
As a peace activist, I will work with Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL), an international peace organization based in South Korea that I have collaborated with for years, and other organizations to achieve peace. Also, I will support the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW), the law for peace, and hope to be brought to the UN and activated. That is the moment we are waiting for and will let the Sudanese enjoy life.
Again I must say thank to HWPL which invited me to this interview.

Umucamanza Weldon Korir yanzuye ko uburenganzira kw'abo bagore barokotse bwo kugira ubuzima ndetse n'uburinganire, bwahonyowe ubwo bahohoterwaga. Yanavuze ko leta ya Kenya yananiwe kubarinda gukorerwa iyicarubozo ndetse n'ibikorwa bitari ibya kimuntu kandi bitesha agaciro.
BBC dukesha iyi nkuru, itangaza ko Umuryango uharanira uburenganzira bwa muntu Human Rights Watch ugereraganya ko abantu batari munsi ya 1,000 bishwe, naho abarenga 500,000 bata ingo zabo mu bikorwa by'urugomo byo muri icyo gihe cy'amatora.
Hanavuzwe amakuru menshi yo gufata abagore n'abakobwa ku ngufu ndetse n'iyicarubozo.
Urwo rugomo rwatangiye ubwo uwari Perezida Mwai Kibaki yatangazwaga ko yatsinze amatora. Uwo bari bahatanye bikomeye Raila Odinga yavuze ko amatora yabayemo uburiganya.
Perezida wa Kenya uriho kuri ubu Uhuru Kenyatta â” wari ushyigikiye Bwana Kibaki â” ndetse na Visi Perezida William Ruto â” wari ushyigikiye Bwana Odinga â” barezwe mu rukiko mpuzamahanga mpanabyaha (ICC) ibyaha byibasiye inyokomuntu, bashinjwa gukongeza urwo rugomo. Bombi bahakanye ibyo birego, nyuma byaje gukurwaho.
