NYAGATARE: Hillside Day and Boarding Primary School in Matimba Sector, Nyagatare District, on Friday handed over certificates of merit to 179 Nursery Three and Primary six pupils in a colorful graduation ceremony.

The ceremony, attended by school pupils, management and parents was hugely characterized by enthusiastic parade done by pupils, traditional dances as well as poems that excited the audience.

Addressing the parents, the school principal and founder, Col.(Rtd) Thadeo Gashumba said that this year’s graduation of pupils was organized purposely to award them certificates of merit that give them outstanding recognition for completion of Nursery and Primary school.

He said that the certificates facilitate both children in case they want to go to another school.

“This graduation ceremony reflects the real values and norms of Hillside school. It is also a policy that we have initiated to facilitate our children and their parents in case they go to other schools,” he said.

He thanked the school management and parents for their exceptional efforts put in promoting education in the district and country as whole.

“Without parents’ participation and efforts, Hillside wouldn’t have reached this far. I want to openly thank you for your efforts and determination to endure that education in the country is maintained.”

He promised parents to start up a secondary school next year but largely called on the government to facilitate the school management to acquire enough land for construction of classrooms.

“We shall start with senior one up to senior three due to limited land for classrooms construction. But hopefully the government will facilitate us to get more land for extension.”

Shilla Munezero, a 12-year-old who graduated from primary school was excited to be honoured with a certificate of primary school completion.

“Today was an extra-ordinary one for me. The school management has surprised us especially with graduation ceremony. Not all pupils have chances to complete primary with certificates meaning that the one I have been given here is a motivation to work hard and excel in education,” she said.

Such explosives are dangerous to metal collectors

The scrap metal business in the region has increased since 1995 and it has attracted investors both locally and internationally.

With the coming of steel industries in Rwanda like STEELRWA, the scrap business has somehow boomed, and has become an income generating activity to some people who have engaged in collecting the raw materials.

Scraps are recyclable materials left over from product consumption, such as parts of vehicles, building supplies and surplus materials, which have significant monetary value.
Most of the people involved in collecting these recyclable metals are the youth and women.

Following the liberation struggle of between 1990 and 1994 and the period of insurgencies in some parts of the country in 1997, left many Unexploded Ordnance (UXOs) such as bombs, bullets, shells, grenades and land mines, which are scattered in bushes while others are buried, and still pose a risk of detonation.

These UXOs have also been mistakenly collected as valuable metals.

Some people, including those collecting scraps, have fallen victims of these dangerous weapons. Some people, especially the youth involved in collecting these recyclable metals, are blinded by the love for money which is determined by the quantity of metals collected, and forget to examine the type of tools collected.

This has left some people incapacitated while others have lost their lives. Children also play with such weapons unknowingly, which explode and injure or worse still kill them.

According to police on November 3 a 7-year old Janvier Nkurunziza was killed by a grenade explosion in Nyamagana Cell in Ruhango Sector, Ruhango District. Nkurunziza was at the time playing with the grenade unknowingly.

A 12-year old Maldoche Dusingizimana also died in similar circumstances also in Ruhango District.

The grenade had been picked by her elder brother, Athanase Kubwimana, who thought it was a valuable metal, and brought it home.

Police calls upon those with the knowledge of the whereabouts of such weapons. “It is imperative to surrender or report them to save lives, especially those of the children.”

Article 671 of the penal code stipulates that ‘any person who illegally possesses, lends or gives an arm, or falsifies its identification marks, is liable to a term of imprisonment of six months to one year and a fine of Rwf300, 000 to Rwf3 million or one of these penalties.

However, under article 673, “any person who illegally carries, fires or uses an arm in a residential area or its neighborhood, shall be liable to a term of imprisonment of six months to two years and a fine of Rwf300, 000 to Rwf3 million or one of these penalties.

Over 390 local leaders attended a hotel conference at Kibeho in Nyaruguru district, Southern Rwanda, as Southern Province Governor, Alphonse Munyantwali, on Friday made a one-day work visit to the district to assess the current pace towards achieving the 2012-2013 performance contracts.

The local leaders ranged from heads of umudugudu (literally village) – Rwanda’s smallest administrative unit – to executive secretaries of cells and sectors plus officials at the district level.

“Competence and commitment are key to achieving your performance contracts”, Governor Munyantwali told a keen, interactive audience of local leaders.

One of the local leaders in attendance is Peter Iyakaremye, head of Agatare village in Ngarurira cell of Munini sector, Nyaruguru district.

“This meeting is a testimony that the top leadership of our province cares for all the leaders even those like me at the very lowest administrative level. That gives me motivation and I feel more and more part of the team”, said Iyakaremye, speaking at the sidelines of the meeting.

Areas of Nyaruguru district’s performance contracts include agriculture, roads construction, trade, job creation especially among the youth, assisting vulnerable groups, electricity, clean water supply, grouped habitat and good governance.

According to Nyaruguru district’s Mayor, François Habitegeko, the district has already met some of its targets in agriculture where thousands of hectares of maize, Irish potatoes, beans, cassava and wheat are being grown.

83 per cent of Nyaruguru district’s estimated 286,000  population now live in a grouped habitat, according to Mayor Habitegeko, which the district hopes will help bring success in other areas like electricity and clean water supply.

And nearly eight months to the deadline of the 2012-2013 performance contracts, Governor Munyantwali sounds upbeat with regard to Nyaruguru district.

“It [the current state of performance contracts] gives me a good impression. Almost all the performance contracts are on [the right] track”, said Governor Munyantwali.

The Governor further promised to help the district overcome what seems to be its biggest challenge for the moment: a plot of land upon which to build a cross-border trade complex.

Last fall, in the 2011-2012 performance contracts’ results, Nyaruguru came in the 26^th position out of Rwanda’s 30 districts, scoring an average mark of slightly over 80 per cent. This was a relatively better stance than in the year before, 2010-2011, when the district ranked 29^th countrywide with an average point of 75 per cent.

In the same 2011-2012 year of performance contracts, the Southern Province is reported to have emerged the first of Rwanda’s four provinces plus Kigali City. And with the Governor’s Friday visit to Nyaruguru district, which ranked the last of the southern province’s eight districts in the 2011-2012 performance contracts’ results, it seems the province is interested in assisting even the apparently less performing districts to help maintain its grip on the first place even this year around.

Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame initiated the performance contracts in 2006, as a way of swifting the country’s development through acknowledging and rewarding best performing leaders, among others.

Britain’s international development secretary Justine Greening said Tuesday that the decision on the future of aid to Rwanda will be taken based on many other benchmarks, and not only UN reports alleging Rwanda’s backing for Congolese rebels.

Appearing before a parliamentary inquiry, Greening said “all options were on the table”. She said the UK’s support for Rwanda had been “very successful”.

“We are confident that our money is getting to the right people in Rwanda, not as it often happens elsewhere…Rwanda has been successful at tackling very serious development issues,” said the minister.

Several countries have cut back on their development support packages for Rwanda after leaked UN reports linked Rwanda’s government to M23 rebels in eastern DRC. The UK did hold back on releasing its quarterly package, but then later did, prompting a barrage of criticism.

Former international development secretary Andrew Mitchell appeared before the UK parliamentary committee last week and laid out a spirited defense of his decision. Mitchell said his government had set out three conditions for Rwanda over the DRC conflict, which had been significantly met.

“I am not going to disagree with Andrew Mitchell. I think it is very difficult for me to agree or disagree with him,” said Greening.

“DRC-led solution” is preferable

Under grueling questioning, Justine Greening dismissed the leaked UN documents, saying that technically a UN report linking Rwanda to conflict in east DRC “doesn’t exist” because no official report is out yet. She said several meetings are ongoing in the UN sanctions committee to ascertain the allegations against Rwanda.

Following the leaked documents, Rwanda submitted a rebuttal of each of the aspects supposedly raised by the UN experts. There is no indication as to when the final UN investigation will be released.

Greening said as a result of engagement from regional governments including Rwanda and Uganda, fighting had reduced in eastern DRC. However, the UK minister said that  “ultimately a DRC-led solution” was the preferred options where by the Kinshasa government works out a political settlement with the rebels.

Asked whether the UK government will consult with other donor countries when determining future aid for Rwanda, the minister said Britain’s decision would not be influenced by others.

Sir Malcolm Bruce, the chair of the international development committee which is conducting the inquiry announced they would decide next week whether to release the inquiry report before the government decides on the December tranche, or after.

Project Umubano “extremely worthwhile”

In comments extending full support to Rwanda’s government, Sir Malcolm Bruce said it was doing a “fantastic job” on poverty. The committee asked minister Justine Greening to submit a “written note” detailing the successes of Rwanda’s anti-poverty programs funded by British tax payers. The note will be added onto the final report.

“The committee has seen excellent poverty reduction programs and a remarkable land registration system,” said Sir Malcolm Bruce, as he concluded the hearing.

“Rwanda does a good fantastic job with the money and I don’t think anybody should dispute that.”

The conservative party, UK’s governing coalition partner headed by Prime Minister David Cameron has had a massive rural development program in Rwanda for more than five years, and has been looking at ways of expanding to other countries. The scheme is named “Project Umubano”, which has built schools, brought English teachers and extended services to rural communities.

Mr Cameron himself was in Rwanda before becoming Prime Minister, and every year, dozens of conservative party lawmakers come to Rwanda during holidays to take part in the project.

Commenting about “Project Umubano”, minister Greening told the committee today that she had been to Rwanda with the project in 2008 and found it “extremely worthwhile”.

Witnesses testified publicly in Gacaca courts. Despite its challenges, the REDRESS report says public testimony helps the survivors recover and creates harmony within the communities.

A witness protection scheme forced on Rwanda by the UN as condition to transfer genocide suspects does not help genocide survivors recover – instead creates lasting tensions on the hills across Rwanda, says a major study.

Report authors, the anti-genocide campaign group REDRESS says rather than meeting the domestic needs, the majority of legislation concerning witness protection has been driven by the requirements set by the UN International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). The government was also responding to pressure from mainly European countries which were adamant to transfer genocide suspects.

Rwanda established the Victim and Witness Support Unit (VWSU) around 2006 following the murder of more than 150 genocide survivors who were targeted because they had testified against suspects. Some of the genocide suspects who testified against their colleagues were also targeted.

Under Rwanda’s own witness protection program, neighbourhood and self- protection for genocide witnesses was emphasized as part of the healing and reconciliation process among survivors and perpetrators. With this approach, it meant “indifferent neighbours” who did not intervene when somebody called for help when attacked, were sanctioned.

But despite the positive aspects of this approach, the UN pushed Rwanda into adopting a new system which the REDRESS study says does not “protect witnesses from re-traumatisation”.

It all started in 2008. On 15 December of that year, eleven days after the initial refusals to transfer suspects were upheld by the ICTR on appeal, the President of the Rwandan Supreme Court issued an order establishing a second witness protection unit under the authority of the High Court and the Supreme Court. This means that Rwanda at the moment has two witness protection programs. The mechanism forced on Rwanda requires anonymity for witnesses.

“…the emphasis on anonymity in Rwanda’s draft witness protection law clashes with some witnesses’ desire for communal acknowledgement through public testimony and the fact that anonymity is often difficult to ensure on the hills of Rwanda,” says the 43-page report.

“While this represented a necessary recognition of the extent of judicial reform in Rwanda, the wholesale adoption by Rwanda of the ICTR’s approach to witness protection is problematic.”

The report adds: “In particular, the establishment of a second witness protection unit under the auspices of the Supreme and High Court provided a quick response to the ICTR’s critiques. In practice, however, it would seem to be more constructive to establish, through legislation, a single independent witness protection unit with a separate budget and the resources to establish a trauma counselling section.”

REDRESS says the general absence of adequate long-term measures taken by the ICTR and responsible authorities in Rwanda to protect witnesses from re-traumatisation is of particular concern and needs to be addressed to enable survivors to continue providing testimony.

“As the focus of post-genocide justice shifts from the ICTR and gacaca to the Rwandan national courts, the need for witness protection will continue, along with the need to balance security for witnesses with the realities of Rwanda and its tightknit communities, and the perceived benefits of open and public testimony about the genocide,” says the study.

Genocide survivors interviewed in the study said they preferred to have a system that allows them to speak the truth openly, which contributes to their recovery. The convicts also said they believed speaking openly helps them reintegrate in the community more easily than when they have to hide their identity.

The campaign group REDRESS urges that International Residual Mechanism which will replace the ICTR to recognise the opposition of the victims and witnesses to “anonymity as a central protection measure”.

As to the government, once the two witness protection programs have been merged, REDRESS is calling for a long-term psycho-social support to survivors of the genocide and victims of related abuses.

Rwanda on Thursday evening urged the Congolese army (FARDC) and M23 rebels to stop fighting and respect the decisions of the regional security bloc ICGLR on cessation of hostilities in DRC.

Foreign Affairs Minister Louise Mushikiwabo said the new fighting that erupted Wednesday night will undermine the ongoing ICGLR peace process. The latest battle follows a three-month ceasefire established by regional leaders.

“The resumption of fighting between FARDC and M23 violates directives agreed by the 11 member states of the ICGLR who are working to restore much needed peace in the Eastern DRC,” said Mushikiwabo in a statement.   

“This violence close to our border has direct repercussions on us – we have already seen civilians injured today from stray bullets on Rwandan territory as well as renewed influx of Congolese refugees. We do not want any further casualties.” 

Mushikiwabo added: “The violent activities of the FARDC, M23 and other armed groups in DRC must stop because they continue to jeopardise ongoing regional efforts to bring about lasting peace and security in Eastern DRC. We look forward to the findings of the ICGLR Joint Verification Mechanism that is already on the ground and Joint Intelligence Fusion Centre on this situation and hope that this will facilitate immediate containment.”

The expanded Joint Verification Mechanism was previously a bilateral arrangement between Rwanda and DRC designed to verify allegations against either side that was enlarged in September to include representatives from all the ICGLR member states.

Meanwhile, officials on Rwanda’s border areas said today that more than 2,500 refugees have fled into Rwanda in the last 24 hours alone. More than 90% of them are women and children – carrying anything they could bring along.

These latest arrivals add on to more than 80,000 Congolese refugees in different camps in Rwanda.

Reports from Goma, capital of North Kivu province, where thousands of UN troops (MONUSCO) are based, say the area has descended into chaos as uncertainty reigns over the city. Some reports say the M23 rebels are between 20-30km from Goma, to the north.

All day, each side has been blaming the other for starting the latest fighting. The battle also comes a day after the United States and UN imposed sanctions on M23 leader Sultan Makenga, who was recently promoted to General and the group changed its name to Congolese Revolutionary Army (ARC).

Hon. Stanslas Kamanzi, Minister for Natural resources

Stanslas Kamanzi, Minister of Natural resources has urged Rwandese to participate in developing land and conserve the environment.  

This was resolved on November 6^th 2012 during the meeting that gathered Southern Province leaders, Armed forces and police in districts and environment protection officials in Muhanga district.

The Minister asserted: “if land is not cultivated, then it should be a forest. There is no need of having un developed pieces of land.”

“Swamps should be cultivated as well instead of just lying idle,” he adds.

The minister of natural resources highlights that leaders and all Rwandese should embrace land development for sustainable development.

Minister Kamanzi asked them to imitate South Korea which was hilly and had swamps, but land was developed in a short time because South Koreans embraced afforestation and village settlement programs.

Governor of the Southern Province, Alphonse Munyentwali points out that “some places are called forests yet they are almost void of trees. If they are forests, let trees be planted in plenty.”

Minister Kamanzi calls upon all Rwandese to conserve the environment fighting land degradation like soil erosion and others.
