  • Belgium Considers Disarmament 'Way Out Of Armed Conflicts In DRC' #rwanda #RwOT

    Tristan Terryn the political adviser to the Embassy of the Kingdom of Belgium in the DRC, observed on Friday November 6 that the Disarmament, Demobilization, Reintegration (DDR) mechanism is a way out of armed conflicts in the DRC.

    His remarks came after holding discussions with Alain Kashindi Assumani the DRC's National Coordinator of the Stabilization and Reconstruction Program (STAREC).

    According to Terryn his country sees the return of a lasting peace in the parts affected by armed conflicts, particularly in the east of the country, through the DDR mechanism, but also by the creation of small jobs in favor of militiamen who agreed to respond to the call of President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo who had invited them to lay down their arms and participate in the DDR process.

    'Belgium is also considering the creation of small jobs and certain income-generating activities for the benefit of local populations who are victims of several war pangs and other atrocities linked to the various armed conflicts in the DRC', he said.

    The UN through the stabilisation mission in DRC , Monusco, has tried to stabilise the country for the past 20 years with a 15,000-strong peacekeeping force but has miserably failed.

    An estimated 160 rebel groups with a total of more than 20,000 fighters are still active in the DRC's east. The motives for the various groups are not always clear, although it is believed they are mostly over control of land or minerals such as gold and cobalt.

    President Felix Tshisekedi said in June last year that his government had devised a plan for the 'complete eradication' of foreign armed groups, in collaboration with Monusco and neighbouring countries affected by the violence, particularly Uganda and Rwanda.

    The STAREC Program was created by presidential decree — its essential mission is the stabilization and reconstruction of the DRC.

    STAREC was primarily designed for armed conflict-affected areas, especially in eastern DRC. It was launched by the Congolese Government, with the support of the United Nations system and development technical partners. Its main goal has been to restore State authority in the East which is the region that is the most fragile and most exposed to conflicts.

    The plan works towards the rehabilitation of administrative infrastructure, and is also involved in the fight against poverty and impunity regarding the numerous exactions and violations committed in this part of the country.

  • Rwanda rotates female-dominated Police contingent in South Sudan #rwanda #RwOT

    It’s the third rotation of the contingent pledged by President Paul Kagame during the UN Leaders’ Summit on Peacekeeping Operations in 2015, following the maiden unit deployed in June 2018.

    The newly deployed contingent under Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Jeannette Masozera left early in the morning to replace the unit commanded by SSP Jackline Urujeni, which safely returned home later in the afternoon after its 18 months tour-of-duty.

    Commissioner of Police (CP) John Bosco Kabera, Commissioner for Public Relations and Media (PRM) presided over the departure and arrival of the rotated contingents at Kigali International Airport, on behalf of RNP leadership.

    While welcoming the replaced contingent, CP Kabera thanked them for their “resilience and commitment” to their mandate despite the challenges posed by the pandemic of COVID-19.

    “It was a challenging period due to the pandemic, everyone was at the risk of being infected. Nonetheless, this did not prevent you from carrying out your peacekeeping duties. For that, we thank you,” CP Kabera told the officers.

    He also reminded them that they will head straight to 14 days in quarantine where they will be tested for COVID-19 before they are given new assignments back home.
    Meanwhile, the newly deployed unit spent 14 days in quarantine, tested negative for COVID-19 and given certificates prior to their deployment.

    On the other hand, the replaced contingent was also taken through the COVID-19 disinfection process on arrival as well as sanitazing hands, disposing of used fabrics and face masks, and measuring body temperature, among others.

    SSP Urujeni said that their successful tour-of-duty was due to the commitment of each and every Police officer under her command.

    “RWAFPU-3 operates under UNMISS mandate of Protection of Civilians; creating conducive conditions for the delivery of humanitarian assistance; monitoring and investigating human rights; as well as supporting the implementation of revitalized agreement and peace process,” SSP Urujeni said.

    She added: “In line with this mandate, we carried out public order management assignments, supported humanitarian activities, provided security and escorted VIPs and other delegates visiting civilian sites, patrols and search operations in Juba as well as community engagement activities and other duties assigned through the UN Police chain of command.”

    Rwanda maintains six police contingents in South Sudan and Central African Republic (CAR) as well as Individual Police Officers (IPOs) in different UN missions, all with the strength of over 1000 officers.

  • Menya ingano y’umushahara wa Perezida wa Amerika urimo guhanganisha Trump na Joe Biden #rwanda #RwOT

    Perezida wa Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika ni umuntu uba ukomeye cyane mu ruhando mpuzamahanga, icyubahiro no kuvuga rikijyana, gucungirwa umutekano mu buryo buhambaye n’ibindi bikaba biri mu byemeza ko akomeye ariko urebeye ku mushahara ukaba wasanga atagenerwa amafaranga menshi.

    Perezida wa Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, agenerwa umushahara ungana n’amadolari ya Amerika 400.000 ku mwaka akongerwa n’andi madolari 50.000 amufasha muri gahunda z’akazi, muri rusange akaba ahabwa angana n’amafaranga y’u Rwanda asaga 36.000.000 buri kwezi. Gusa uyu mushahara si munini ugereranyije n’imitungo ya Perezida Donald Trump, ni ingano nto y’amafaranga ugereranyije n’ubukire bw’uyu mugabo. By’akarusho we umushahara we guhera muri 2017 kugeza muri 2020, yarawutanze awufashisha ibigo bitandukanye muri Amerika.

    Ibi Trump yari yaranabivuze igihe yiyamamazaga mu mwaka wa 2016, imvugo ye ikaba yarabaye ingiro areka gufata uyu mushahara. Trump yari yagize ati : “Ikintu cya mbere nzakora nintorerwa kuba Perezida, sinzigera nemera kwakira umushahara, kuri njye ntacyo umushahara uvuze. Uwo mushahara ntacyo nzaba nywushakaho, nta n’idolari rimwe nzafata, nzareka umushahara wanjye wose nta na macye nzajya mfata rwose.”

    Donald John Trump wavutse tariki 14 Kamena 1946, asanzwe ari umucuruzi ukomeye muri Amerika, akaba afite amahoteli, amazu y’imyidagaduro n’ibindi bikorwa byinshi by’ubucuruzi. Mu 1971, Se umubyara, Fred Trump, yamweguriye imitungo ye yiganjemo amazu y’imyidagaduro, amahoteli n’ibindi bitandukanye.

    Ikindi wamenya ni uko umutungo wa Donald Trump wagabanutse cyane kuva yaba Perezida. Mu mwaka wa 2016, ikinyamakuru Forbes Magazine cyagaragaje ko Donald Trump yari ku mwanya wa 324 ku isi yose mu baherwe bafite agatubutse, akaba uw’156 muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika.

Kugeza ubu abarirwa umutungo ungana n’amadolari ya Amerika miliyoni icyenda ($9.000.000).

    Gusa byumvikane neza ko umushahara wa Perezida wa Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, wiyongeraho ibindi byose umukuru w’igihugu akenera mu kazi kuko uburyo bw’ingendo mu modoka n’indege by’agahebuzo, aho kuba n’ibitunga umuryango we muri White House n’ibindi byose aba abyishyurirwa na Leta.

  • Four-Year USAID Isuku Iwacu Project Celebrates Bringing Sanitation Access to 500,000 Rwandans #rwanda #RwOT

    'By working hand-in-hand with the Government of Rwanda, USAID Isuku Iwacu has been integral in increasing access to life saving hygiene and sanitation solutions for the population in the eight districts where the project has worked. The United States is committed to doing more and to work with the government and the people of Rwanda to build public-private partnerships for sustainable sanitation,' said USAID Deputy Mission Director, Bill Hansen.

    In a ceremony held at the Kigali Convention Centre, USAID, the Ministry of Infrastructure (MININFRA), as well as implementing partners headed (SNV) USA dba DevWorks International with SNV Netherlands, Water for People and World Vision International, marked the culmination and remarkable achievements of the four-year effort that has enabled over 500,000 people to acquire basic sanitation in eight districts of the project’s work.

    Isuku Iwacu Activity (2016-2020) represents the continued commitment of USAID to support Rwanda on its journey to achieve universal coverage of sanitation facilities for its 12 million people and Sustainable Development Goal 6 which focuses on water and sanitation for all.

    The overall goal of USAID Isuku Iwacu was to increase local ownership and capacity to deliver sustainable, high quality sanitation and hygiene services in order to decrease childhood stunting.

    Over the life of the Activity, the project has worked in the eight districts of Kayonza, Kicukiro, Ngoma, Nyabihu, Nyanza, Nyarugenge, Ruhango, and Rwamagana where it fostered local ownership and strengthened capacity building, leading to remarkable results. USAID Isuku Iwacu did this by working with leaders and local civil society organizations at national and decentralized levels.

    USAID Isuku Iwacu focused on three strategic areas: Increasing demand for sanitation products and services at the household level, strengthening the supply of sanitation products and services, and developing an improved enabling environment to support new markets for improved sanitation.

    The project realized several critical achievements in its four years of implementation, including 561,035 Rwandans supported to gain access to basic sanitation; 254,504 households with clean covered latrines; 219 villages pre-declared as Open Defecation Free (ODF) environments; and eight District Sanitation Centers (DSC) built across the areas of implementation.
