Tariki ya 2 Gicurasi 2026, abarwanashyaka b’ishyaka Riharanira Demukarasi no Kurengera Ibidukikije mu Rwanda bahagarariye abandi mu karere ka Huye, biyemeje gutanga umusanzu mu rwego rwo gushyira iherezo ku makimbirane yugarije umuryango nyarwanda. Aba barwanashyaka bihaye uwo mukoro, nyuma y’inama ikomatanyije n’amahugurwa bahawe mu rwego rwo kubategura ngo bazajye guhugura bagenzi babo ku rwego rw’imirenge. Ni igikorwa cyayobowe n’umuyobozi w’ishyaka mu ntara y’Amajyepfo, Habimana Gustave. Umwe mu barwanashyaka yagize ati: “Nk’abarwanashyaka ba Green Party by’umwihariko abo mu karere ka Huye ndetse no mu gihugu cyose muri rusange, dushaka u Rwanda rutekanye, ruteye imbere kandi rufite ibidukikije bimeze neza. Iyo tuvuze ibidukikije ntabwo tuba tuvuze ishyamba rikuze cyangwa iritoshye gusa. Tuba tunavuze umuturage wishimye, umuturage wariye, uwivuje bigakunda cyangwa uwize bigakunda.” Uyu murwanashyaka yagaragaje ko ishyaka ryabo ridashobora kugera ku ntego zaryo zirimo guharanira demukarasi no kurengera ibidukikije, mu gihe abaturage bagomba kubigiramo uruhare batariye cyangwa bakaba batabanye mu mahoro. Ati: “Turi ishyaka riharanira demukarasi no kurengera ibidukikije, ariko ntituzabona demukarasi mu muturage utariye, ntituzabona demukarasi mu gihe umugore n’umugabo baraye barwana bakabyukira ku kagari ari imanza zicicikana. Icya mbere tubanza kureba ni ubuzima bw’umuturage w’u Rwanda. Ese koko niba ishyamba ribagaye nta pulasitiki zirimo, wa muntu uritoramo inkwi cyangwa agahumeka umwuka uriturukamo we awuhumeka ameze ate? Urumva ntabwo umugore yahumeka wa mwuka umugabo we arimo amwirukanka inyuma n’inkoni.” Uyu murwanashyaka yavuze ko we na bagenzi be bafite umukoro wo kujya gukora ubukangurambaga mu miryango ibayeho mu makimbirane, mu rwego rwo kuyifasha kumenya inyungu yo kubana mu mahoro. Ati: “Amakimbirane ntabwo yubaka ni ugusenya gusa, kandi ntiwaba mu gihugu giteye imbere utagifitiyemo amahoro. Ntabwo wavuga ngo uraharanira demukarasi cyangwa ngo urabagara ishyamba usize abandi ku muhanda barimo birukanka.” Umurwanashyaka witwa Kwitonda Aaron agendeye ku mpfu za hato na hato zimaze igihe zumvikana hirya no hino mu gihugu kubera amakimbirane, yavuze ko agomba kujya “gutanga amahugurwa” aho atuye, mu rwego rwo kwirinda ko zahagaragara. Akarere ka Huye kiyongereye ku tundi dutandatu two mu ntara y’Amajyepfo na dutanu two mu majyaruguru abarwanashyaka ba Green Party bahuguwemo. Tariki ya 1 Gicurasi 2026, atangiza inama n amahugurwa mu karere ka Gisagara, Umuyobozi w’ishyaka mu Ntara y’Amajyepfo, Habimana Gustave, yashimangiye ko umutekano n’ituze igihugu gifite ari amahirwe akomeye akwiye kubyazwa umusaruro. Yashishikarije abarwanashyaka gukora cyane, bakihaza mu biribwa ndetse bakanasagurira amasoko kugira ngo biteze imbere. Habimana yanabibukije akamaro k’isuku nk’isoko y’ubuzima, abasaba kuba intangarugero mu kuyigira aho batuye no mu buzima bwa buri munsi. Yongeyeho ko kubungabunga ibidukikije ari ingenzi kuko bigira uruhare mu kurinda ubuzima n’umutekano w’abantu. Uyu muyobozi yanagarutse ku kibazo cy’amakimbirane yo mu miryango n’ihohoterwa, agaragaza ko bishobora guhungabanya umutekano, asaba abarwanashyaka kubirwanya no kugira uruhare mu kubaka imiryango itekanye. Tuyisenge Aline, umuyobozi wungirije w’urubyiruko mu Ntara y’Amajyepfo, we yasabye abarwanashyaka kugaragaza isura nziza y’ishyaka aho batuye, baba intangarugero mu myitwarire yabo, ndetse bagakoresha imbuga nkoranyambaga basakaza ibikorwa byiza by’ishyaka no gusubiza abarikomanyiriza. Yanagaragaje ko abarwanashyaka bagomba gukomeza kumenyekanisha ibikorwa by’ishyaka birimo ubuvugizi mu kuzamura imibereho y’abaturage, nko guteza imbere ubwisungane mu kwivuza no kwita ku mibereho myiza y’abarimu. Amahugurwa yanibanze ku kurengera ibidukikije no guhangana n’imihindagurikire y’ikirere, aho abarwanashyaka basabwe kwimakaza isuku, gukoresha ibicanwa bitangiza ikirere no gutandukanya imyanda ibora n’itabora, bityo bakayibyaza umusaruro.

Ni mu nama n’amahugurwa iri shyaka rimaze igihe riha abarwanashyaka bahagarariye abandi ku rwego rw’akarere, mu rwego rwo kubategura ngo bazajye guhugura bagenzi babo ku rwego rw’imirenge. Umuyobozi wa Green Party mu ntara y’Amajyepfo, Habimana Gustave wayoboye kiriya gikorwa mu izina rya Perezida wa Green Party, Hon. Dr Frank Habineza, yabwiye itangazamakuru ko mu byo bariya barwanashyaka basabwe harimo kujya gushaka abarwanashyaka beza kandi bazi ibyo bagiyemo. Ati: “Twabahuguye ku bintu byinshi bigiye bitandukanye, ariko icy’ingenzi ni ukubibutsa. Bari basanzwe babizi, ariko twabibukije amahame y’ishyaka kugira ngo barusheho kugenda batyaye bazi n’ibyo bagiyemo, bityo badushakire abarwanashyaka beza kandi bumva ibyo ari byo.” Muhawenimana Eugène uyobora Green Party muri Ruhango akaba umwe mu bahuguwe, yavuze ko ariya mahugurwa bayitezeho gukomeza nkwiyumvamo ishyaka ryabo. Ati: “Amahugurwa twagize ni adufasha kugira ngo dukomeze kurushaho kwimakaza ireme rya demukarasi, no kugira ngo abarwanashyaka bakomeze kumva ko ishyaka ari iryabo kandi ribari hafi.” Muhawenimana kandi ko kuba basuwe n’ubuyobozi bukuru bw’ishyaka ryabo “bifasha abarwanashyaka kumva bitinyutse”, bijyanye no kuba amahugurwa ari “umwanya wo kuganira ibibangamiye imibereho yabo n’iyishyaka”. Yunzemo ko nk’abarwanashyaka bagiye gukoresha ubumenyi butandukanye bahawe mu rwego rwo gukemura ibibazo bibangamiye sosiyete nyarwanda.” Usibye amahame n’ingengabitekerezo by’ishyaka, abarwanashyaka ba Green Party bo mu ruhango banasabwe kugira uruhare mu bikorwa byo kurengera ibidukikishije muri aka karere ahanini hakoreshwa ingufu zisubira, imikoreshereze y’ikoranabuhanga, umutekano ndetse n’uruhare rw’abarwanashyaka mu kwerekana isura nziza y’ishyaka mu bikorwa by’iterambere ry’igihugu.

It is with profound sorrow and a deep sense of loss that I extend my heartfelt condolences on the passing of our dear brother, colleague, and comrade, Adamou Garba, President of the Greens of Niger, who departed from us on Sunday. His passing is not only a loss to his family and nation, but to the entire African and Global Greens movement. I had the distinct honour of working alongside Adamou Garba for many years—years marked by shared vision, struggle, and commitment to building a just, sustainable, and democratic future for our continent. Our journey together dates back to April 2008, when we were elected at the Second Global Greens Congress in São Paulo, Brazil, alongside Julian Mugure of Kenya, to represent Africa on the Global Greens Coordination. From that moment, Adamou distinguished himself as a principled, thoughtful, and deeply committed leader. Together, we contributed to a historic milestone: the establishment of the African Greens Federation in April 2010 at the Kampala Congress. Adamou was instrumental in shaping the Federation into a strong and credible platform for ecological justice, democracy, and social justice across Africa. His leadership helped give voice to African environmental and democratic concerns on the global stage. In 2018, Adamou succeeded me as President of the African Greens Federation. I could not have wished for a more capable and dedicated successor. He carried forward the mission with integrity, courage, and unwavering conviction, strengthening the movement and inspiring a new generation of Green leaders across the continent. Beyond his political leadership, Adamou was a passionate environmentalist and an accomplished journalist. He understood the power of ideas and the importance of truth, and he used his voice to advocate for sustainability, accountability, and the protection of our natural heritage by advocating for the green belt in Niamey and a green Sahel region. His work reflected a rare combination of intellect, humility, and courage. From 2008 to 2024, we served together on the Global Greens Coordination, representing Africa with unity and purpose. Throughout those years, Adamou remained steadfast, collaborative, and deeply respectful—a true brother in the struggle. His wisdom, calm demeanor, and unwavering dedication will be sorely missed. Today, we mourn not only a leader, but a friend. His legacy will live on in the institutions he helped build, the values he championed, and the countless lives he touched. As we grieve, we also celebrate a life well lived—a life devoted to service, justice, and the protection of our planet. May his soul rest in eternal peace. May his legacy continue to guide and inspire us. With deepest sympathy, Dr.Frank Habineza (Senator) Global Greens, Co-Convenor President, Democratic Green Party of #Rwanda

Ati: “Umumaro wo gusobanukirwa imigabo n’imigambi ya Green Party, ntabwo ari ibanga kuko watangarijwe Abaturarwanda mu ngeri nyinshi zitandukanye.” “Tugira ‘Porogaramu Politike’ ihora itangazwa mu bihe byo kwitegura amatora, nk’umwaka wa 2024 twagiye mu matora y’intumwa za rubanda, tujya mu matora y’Umukuru w’Igihugu, nk’umurwanashaka wa Green Party wari wiyamamaje ku mwanya w’umukandida wa Perezida wa Repubulika muri ayo matora abiri twari twarateguye imigabo n’imigambi yatangarijwe itangazamakuru, ndetse akora n’igitabo gitangwa mu kigo cy’igihugu cy’imiyoborere myiza, RGB.” Mugisha yakomeje agira ati: “Ibikorwa biri muri icyo gitabo ni byo bigaragaza umusaruro cyangwa se umumaro wo gucengerwa gukunda no kuba mu ishyaka Riharanira Demukarasi no Kurengera Ibidukikije mu Rwanda. Uyu munsi rero ibyo ni byo tuba tugamije gukangurira abaduhagarariye muri aka karere ka Kamonyi, ni ukugira ngo mu gihe bakora ‘recruitement’ cyangwa se bakora ubukangurambaga bwo kongera abarwanashyaka hirya no hino mu mirenge, babe bavuga ibyo bashikamyeho, bazi kandi basobanukiwe.” Mugisha kandi yashimangiye ko nka Green Party, biyemeje “kutavuga rumwe na Leta mu mugambi nyamukuru wo kutarwanya ibiriho”, ahubwo bakaba bagamije kugaragaza ibitagenda neza mu rwego rwo kubigorora.
