Major Micombero yahaye abacamanza b'abafaransa ubuhamya mu ibanga!

micombero

Amakuru atangazwa n'ikinyamakuru Marianne mu nimero yacyo yo guhera tariki ya 28 Werurwe kugeza ku ya 3 Mata 2014, mu kiganiro icyo kinyamakuru cyagiranye na Major Jean Marie Micombero, yabwiye icyo kinyamakuru ko yamenye amakuru yose y'itegurwa ry'iraswa ry'indege ya Perezida Habyalimana ku ya 6 Mata 1994 nk'umwe mu basirikare bari bashinzwe iperereza muri Bataillon ya 3 ya APR yari iri mu nzu ya CND i Kigali.

Nk'uko Major Micombero yabitangarije ikinyamakuru Marianne ngo yahaye ubuhamya abacamanza b'abafaransa bakora iperereza ku ihanurwa ry'indege yari itwaye Perezida Habyalimana ari bo Nathalie Poux na Marc Trévidic ku ya 3 Nyakanga 2013 no ku ya 30 Mutarama 2014 n'ubwo bitigeze bijya ahagaragara mu bitangazamakuru.

Mu nkuru ndende iki kinyamakuru gitangaza uburyo Major Micombero yagisubiriyemo imyiteguro y'ihanurwa ry'indege ya Perezida Habyalimana n'abagize uruhare muri icyo gikorwa ndetse n'uburyo indege yagombaga kuraswa mu gitondo cyo kuya 6 Mata 1994 (igihe Perezida Habyalimana yerekezaga mu nama i Dar es Salaam) ariko bigasubikwa kuko hatabonaga neza kubera ibihu icyo gikorwa kikimurirwa ku mugoroba w'uwo munsi ubwo Perezida Habyalimana yari agarutse avuye muri Tanzaniya.

Muri icyo kiganiro Major Micombero agaruka ku muntu witwa James Mugabo wakoraga ku kibuga cy'indege i Kanombe wazanaga amakuru y'uburyo ikibuga cy'indege kirinzwe  n'ingendo z'indege za Perezida Habyalimana. Mu gitondo cya kare cyo ku ya 6 Mata 1994, Major Micombero yabonye uwo James Mugabo aje muri CND ari kuri moto ahita ajya kureba Charles Karamba (ubu ni General mu ngabo za RDF) wari ukuriye iperereza ry'ingabo za FPR zari muri CND. Karamba yahise afata icyombo (Radio y'itumanaho ya gisirikare) atangira kuvugira ku murongo wakoreshwaga na Bataillon ya 3 ya FPR yari muri CND atanga amabwiriza ku basirikare ko bagomba kwitegura intambara (stand-by). Icyo gihe ngo Micombero yahise afata imbunda ye yerekeza mu mwanya we mu myobo yari ikikije inzu ya CND mu kugenda nibwo yakuye na Andrew Kagame wategekaga Tiger Coy ya bataillon ya 3 ya FPR (ubu ni General muri RDF) wari inshuti ye ahita abwira Micombero ati: "Birashoboka ko aya ari amaherezo y'IKINANI".

Muri ako kanya ngo Micombero yabonye imodoka ya Toyota Stout 2200 isohoka muri CND. Ngo Micombero yari amaze iminsi abona urujya n'uruza rw'iyi modoka mu byumweru byabanjirije ihanurwa ry'indege ya Perezida Habyalimana. Iyo modoka ngo yitwazaga kujya kumena ibishingwe ahitwa ku Murindi wa Kanombe mu nzira z'i Masaka ariko hagamijwe kuneka no gushaka ahantu hiherereye ho kuzarasirwa za Missiles.

Muri icyo gitondo cyo ku ya 6 Mata 10994, ngo Micombero ntabwo yabonye abari muri iriya modoka ariko yari azi ko yatwarwaga n'umushoferi witwa Didier Mazimpaka ikaba yarimo abakoresha za Missiles ari bo Frank Nziza na Eric Nshimiyimana (uyu Eric Nshimiyimana, abatanze ubuhamya mbere nka Aloys Ruyenzi na Abdul Ruzibiza bibeshye ku izina rye bamwita Eric Hakizimana), uwitwa Potien Ntambara n'uwari uyoboye icyo gitero Lieutenant Karegeya bahimbaga "Eveready"(iri zina yarihimbwe kubera amaso ye ngo yari ameze nk'ay'injangwe ishushanyije ku mabuye yakoreshwaga mu isitimu).

Ngo hari benshi bari baregeranyije amakuru ku hazarasirwa indege uretse abari muri iriya Toyota na Charles Kayonga wari uyoboye Bataillon ya 3 ya FPR, hari n'abandi nka Jacob Tumwine, Charles Karamba, Capitaine Hubert Kamugisha wari ukuriye abo bita aba Techniciens bari bashinzwe guteza akaduruvayo mu gihugu cyane cyane mu mujyi wa Kigali cyane cyane bigize Interahamwe (urubyiruko rw'ishyaka MRNDD), uretse abo na bamwe mu basirikare bandi bari bashinzwe iperereza muri CND bari bazi aho hantu indege yarasiwe i Masaka. Aho hantu umuntu aba areba neza neza indege yitegura kugwa ku kibuga cy'indege i Kanombe.

Amakuru y'iperereza yahabwaga Charles Karamba, cyangwa Charles Kayonga cyangwa Silas Udahemuka (ubu ni Colonel ashinzwe umutekano w'ikibuga cy'indege i Kanombe) ariko ni Charles Kayonga wenyine wahaga amakuru Paul Kagame ubwe. Buri mugoroba ngo Charles Kayonga yuriraga hejuru y'inzu ya CND akajya kuvuganira ku cyombo na Paul Kagame aho abandi batamwumva mu ibanga. Iyo atashoboraga kuvugana na Paul Kagame ubwe yavuganaga na James Kabarebe.

Micombero akomeza avuga ko yari afite amakuru ku myiteguro yo guhanura indege ya Perezida Habyalimana ibyumweru bike mbere y'uko biba. Ngo muri Werurwe 1994 yari yavuganye na Frank Nziza wari wazanye na Eric Nshimiyimana bavuye ku Mulindi wa Byumba ahari ubuyobozi bukuru bw'ingabo za FPR, ngo Frank Nziza yahishuriye Micombero ko we na Eric Nshimiyimana bazanye n'imbunda zabo! Ngo kuko Micombero yari azi ko Frank Nziza na Eric Nshimiyimana baba mu mutwe ushinzwe kurinda ubuyobozi bukuru bw'ingabo za FPR na za Missiles, Micombero yahise yumva ko bazanye na za missiles. Micombero kandi avuga ko yari afite amakuru yandi yakuraga kuri muramu we Eric Kibonge Ntazinda nawe wari wavuye ku Murindi ngo azatware ya Toyota Stout mu gihe cyo kujya i Masaka. Ngo Frank Nziza kubera ko yibwiraga ko Micombero afite amakuru yose yamwibwiriye ko yazanywe no guhanura indege ya Perezida Habyalimana. Ariko Eric Kibonge Ntazinda yaje gusimbuzwa Didier Mazimpaka kubera kwitwara nabi.

Micombero akomeza avuga ko igihe yabonaga ya Toyota igiye mu gitondo cyo ku ya 6 Mata 1994 yahise amenya ko igiye i Masaka ariko atazi neza neza ahantu missiles zizarasirwa. Ngo ni nyuma y'ifatwa rya Kigali intambara irangiye nibwo Frank Nziza wari inshuti ya Micombero yamweretse aho yarasiye missile. Ngo ni ahantu urenze akararo gato ahagana ibumoso ku muhanda ugana i Masaka. Ubu ngo iraswa ry'indege ya Perezida Habyalimana ryabaye ibanga rya gisirikare rikomeye mu gihe ngo mu myaka ishize icyo gikorwa cyo guhitana IKINANI abantu benshi bari bakizi cyaganirwaga ku mugaragaro ngo byatangiye kugirwa ibanga igihe umucamanza w'umufaransa Jean Louis Bruguière yari amaze gusohora inyandiko zo gufata bamwe mu basirikare ba FPR bakekwa kukigiramo uruhare.

Tugarutse ku gitondo cyo ku ya 6 Mata 1994 ngo hari habyutse hari ibihu byinshi ku buryo igikorwa cyo guhanura indege cyahagaritswe kuko abagomba kuyirasa batabonaga neza. Ngo Micombero yiyumviye Lieutenant Karegeya bitaga Eveready akoresheje icyombo avuga ko hari ibihu byinshi batabona neza maze Andrew Kagame wategekaga Tiger Coy ategeka ko bahagarika icyo gikorwa.

Nyuma yo guhagarika icyo gikorwa ngo Micombero yabonye ya Toyota igarutse muri CND ngo n'amategeko yo kwitegura imirwano yari yashyizweho akurwaho. Ngo Micombero yari ahibereye kimwe n'abandi basirikare bari bashinzwe ipererza igihe Lieutenant Karegeya "Eveready" yasobanuriraga Charles Karamba impamvu igikorwa cyo guhanura indege cyahagaritswe.

James Mugabo wakoraga ku kibuga cy'indege yagarutse muri CND ari kuri moto nyuma gato y'igaruka rya ya Toyota bikiri mu gitondo.

Mu mugoroba ku ya 6 Mata 1994 ntabwo Micombero yabonye ya Toyota igenda kuko yari mu nama muri CND imbere na Jacob Tumwine baganira n'abasivile babazaniraga amakuru ku bijyanye n'umutekano muri Kigali. Ariko Jacob Tumwine wari ufite icyombo byagaragaraga ko umutima utari hamwe yarasohotse bumaze kwira maze Micombero ngo yumva ikintu gituritse cyane. Abasiviri bari muri CND bahise basabwa kugenda bakajya mu ngo zabo.

Ngo mu ijoro Micombero yahuye na Frank Nziza wamubwiye ko we yahushije ariko ku bw'amahirwe Eric we agahamya indege. Ngo ntabwo baganiriye byinshi kuko bikangaga ko baterwa. Muri iryo joro ngo bwa mbere Charles Kayonga yemereye abasirikare kumywa inzoga, icyo gihe Micombero ngo afata Heineken.

Muri iryo joro ngo Micombero yagiye kureba Andrew Kagame wari kumwe na Lt Karegeya "Eveready" n'uwitwa Kitoko. Maze Lt Karegeya "Eveready" ababwira ibyari bimaze kubera i Masaka, ngo bagiye ahagana munsi y'umusozi bahashinga ibirindiro mu gihe uwari utwaye ya Toyota, Didier Mazimpaka yakomezaga kugenda azenguruka ku muhanda. Abagomba kurasa za Missiles bagiye mu myanya bari bateguye, maze Nziza arashe arahusha ako kanya Eric we ahita arasa ahamya indege y'IKINANI. Ako kanya bahise bajya muri ya Toyota ihita ibasubiza muri CND.

Ni aho hantu i Masaka ku ya 25 Mata 1994 abaturage bari bagiye kuvoma basanze ibisigazwa bya za Missiles ebyiri zo mu bwoko bwa SAM 16 zakorewe mu Burusiya mu 1987. Imibare yari kuri icyo bisigazwa yatumye hashobora kuboneka amakuru agaragaza ko izo missiles zari mu zindi 40 zaguzwe n'igihugu cya Uganda.

Mushobora gusoma y'iyi nkuru y'ikinyamakuru Marianne mu rurimi rw'igifaransa hano>>>

Why We Exist

Many abuses facing African people are committed by African states, ruling elites, armed groups, military forces and security services. But these abuses are often sustained by international silence, Western lobbying, trade interests, migration deals, mineral access, diplomatic partnerships and unequal global accountability. Africa Realities Media exposes that system.

Lived Experience Matters

Survivors, displaced communities, refugees, families affected by repression, journalists, activists, women, young people and diaspora voices are not passive subjects. They are knowledge holders. Their experiences must shape policy, advocacy, journalism and public debate. The people closest to injustice are often closest to the solutions.

Our Principle

Africa Realities Media is rooted in one principle: African lives deserve equal truth, equal justice and equal protection.

THE BATTLE OF RUBAYA: Rwanda's War for Minerals Exposed

T he FDLR Pretext Collapses Under the Weight of Documented Plunder   Introduction: A Battle That Tells the Truth When Rwandan-backed RDF/M23 forces fought with extraordinary ferocity to seize and hold Rubaya — a remote mining town in North Kivu, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo — the stated justification was security. Kigali's consistent public line has been that its military presence in the DRC is a response to the threat posed by the Forces Democratiques de Liberation du Rwanda (FDLR), an armed group whose leaders include individuals linked to the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. This narrative has been accepted, qualified, or left insufficiently challenged by Western governments and multilateral institutions for over a decade. The Battle of Rubaya strips that narrative bare. What unfolded in Rubaya was not a counter-insurgency operation against genocidal remnants. It was a sustained military campaign — reinforced by the Rwanda Defence Forces (RDF), prosecuted at sign...

LA BATAILLE DE RUBAYA : La guerre du Rwanda pour les minerais exposée

Le prĂ©texte des FDLR s’effondre sous le poids du pillage documentĂ© Introduction : une bataille qui dit la vĂ©ritĂ© Lorsque les forces RDF/M23 soutenues par le Rwanda ont combattu avec une fĂ©rocitĂ© extraordinaire pour s’emparer de Rubaya et la conserver — une ville minière reculĂ©e du Nord-Kivu, dans l’est de la RĂ©publique dĂ©mocratique du Congo — la justification officielle Ă©tait la sĂ©curitĂ©. La ligne publique constante de Kigali a Ă©tĂ© que sa prĂ©sence militaire en RDC rĂ©pond Ă  la menace posĂ©e par les Forces dĂ©mocratiques de libĂ©ration du Rwanda (FDLR), un groupe armĂ© dont les dirigeants comprennent des individus liĂ©s au gĂ©nocide de 1994 contre les Tutsi. Ce rĂ©cit a Ă©tĂ© acceptĂ©, nuancĂ©, ou laissĂ© insuffisamment contestĂ© par les gouvernements occidentaux et les institutions multilatĂ©rales pendant plus d’une dĂ©cennie. La bataille de Rubaya met ce rĂ©cit Ă  nu. Ce qui s’est dĂ©roulĂ© Ă  Rubaya n’Ă©tait pas une opĂ©ration de contre-insurrection contre des restes gĂ©nocidaires. C’Ă©tait une campagne mili...

Les remèdes cosmĂ©tiques de la France face Ă  la guerre dans l’est de la RDC

RĂ©solution 2773, ConfĂ©rence de Paris, doctrine macronienne du dialogue et pari de la Francophonie La politique de la France Ă  l’Ă©gard de l’est de la RDC a produit un schĂ©ma constant : un langage public fort, une faible application des dĂ©cisions, aucune pression visible fondĂ©e sur les sanctions, et des appels rĂ©pĂ©tĂ©s au dialogue qui laissent largement intact le levier militaire et politique du Rwanda. La France ne peut pas rĂ©diger des rĂ©solutions, organiser des confĂ©rences, rejeter les sanctions, appeler au dialogue, puis revendiquer la neutralitĂ© pendant que les civils restent sous occupation, dĂ©placement et violence. Dans une guerre de cette ampleur, le silence et l’inaction ne sont pas neutres. Ce sont des actes politiques. Introduction La France se prĂ©sente comme l’une des puissances occidentales les plus engagĂ©es dans la recherche de la paix dans l’est de la RĂ©publique dĂ©mocratique du Congo. Elle a parrainĂ© la RĂ©solution 2773 du Conseil de sĂ©curitĂ© des Nations unies. Elle a organ...

President Macron Against US Sanctions on Rwanda

How France's Interests in Mozambique Obstruct Peace in the DRC A Critical Analysis of Emmanuel Macron's Interview with TV5 Monde, Africa Forward Summit, Nairobi, 12 May 2026 Published by The African Rights Campaign (ARC)   |   London, May 2026   1. Introduction This analysis is based on French President Emmanuel Macron's interview with TV5 Monde, conducted on 12 May 2026 during the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi, Kenya. In that interview, Macron was asked a direct question: given that Rwanda's support for the M23 armed group has been documented by United Nations experts, and given that the United States has imposed sanctions on the Rwanda Defence Force and several of its senior officers, why have France and the European Union declined to do the same? Macron's response was unconvincing, dishonest and analytically incoherent. It revealed not a carefully calibrated position of principled neutrality, but the operational logic of a government that has c...

The Kagame Myth: Western Power, Private Jets and Rwanda’s Controlled Reality

  ANALYSIS AND INVESTIGATION Introduction: The Myth and the Man Behind the Myth There is a version of Paul Kagame that exists in the conference halls of Davos, in the pages of Western magazines, in private hotel meetings in London, Paris and Washington, and on the sleeves of European football shirts. In this version, Kagame is a visionary. A builder. A disciplined African moderniser. A leader who pulled a broken country from the ashes of genocide and turned it into what admirers often call the “Singapore of Africa”. In this version, Rwanda is clean, efficient, safe, investment-friendly and orderly. Kagame is presented as the African leader the West wants to believe in: controlled, polished, pro-market, security-focused and comfortable in elite Western spaces. Then there is the Rwanda that many Rwandans, exiles, journalists, opposition figures and human rights organisations describe. In this Rwanda, YouTubers and online commentators are jailed for what they say. Critics die in custo...

Dr Phil Clark ( SOAS University of London): A biased lecturer and researcher about African issues.

Dr Phil Clark   was born in Sudan and   is currently   working at SOAS University of London. He is known to be   biased lecturer and researcher about African issues, particularly the Rwandan genocide.     With his poor judgement and analytical thinking, this man only talk about   the results   of events and forget the     root causes. He is a staunch supporter of the criminal, dictator and killer Paul Kagame , the President of   Rwanda. He is singing the song of the winner of the Rwandan  war. He is in the same boat with Linda Melvern, a biased British   freelancer who received a medal from the dictator Paul     Kagame.

Au cours de cet entretien, Macron s'est vu poser une question directe : Ă©tant donnĂ© que le soutien du Rwanda au groupe armĂ© M23 est aujourd'hui documentĂ© par les experts des Nations Unies, et Ă©tant donnĂ© que les États-Unis ont imposĂ© des sanctions aux Forces de dĂ©fense du Rwanda (FDR) ainsi qu'Ă  plusieurs de leurs hauts responsables, pourquoi la France et l'Union europĂ©enne n'ont-elles pas fait de mĂŞme ?

Kagame’s Image Machine: Who Profits While Rwanda Stays Poor

I nvestigation:  Paying to Stay Poor: How Western PR Firms, Lobbyists, Sports Clubs and Media Outlets Profit from Rwanda’s Image Economy Introduction: An Ecosystem of Paid Influence Rwanda is often presented internationally as a model of discipline, security, investment promotion and post-genocide recovery. That image has been carefully built, repeatedly amplified and professionally protected. Behind it sits a costly international network of sports sponsorships, lobbying contracts, public relations firms, legal consultancy, political access, favourable media relationships and diplomatic narrative management. The moral problem is clear. Rwanda remains heavily dependent on foreign aid and external financing. According to World Bank-linked data, foreign aid received by Rwanda reached approximately 1.39 billion US dollars in 2023. UNDP’s 2025 Human Development Report gives Rwanda a Human Development Index value of 0.578 for 2023, placing it 159th out of 193 countries and territories. U...

Justice ou théâtre politique ? Les procès français du génocide rwandais et le travail inachevé de la réconciliation entre Rwandais

Introduction Depuis 2014, les tribunaux français ont poursuivi une sĂ©rie de ressortissants rwandais hutu pour leur rĂ´le prĂ©sumĂ© dans le gĂ©nocide de 1994 contre les Tutsi. Le premier procès, celui de l’ancien chef du renseignement Pascal Simbikangwa, a Ă©tĂ© suivi par les condamnations des anciens bourgmestres Octavien Ngenzi et Tito Barahira en 2016, puis par la condamnation, en 2023, de l’ancien officier de gendarmerie Philippe Hategekimana. Aucun accusĂ© jugĂ© en France, au titre de la compĂ©tence universelle, pour le gĂ©nocide rwandais n’a Ă©tĂ© acquittĂ©. D’autres poursuites devraient suivre. Ces procĂ©dures ont Ă©tĂ© largement saluĂ©es comme la preuve que la France affronte enfin son passĂ© d’État ayant protĂ©gĂ© des auteurs prĂ©sumĂ©s du gĂ©nocide sur son territoire. Des organisations internationales de dĂ©fense des droits humains, des spĂ©cialistes du gĂ©nocide et une partie de la sociĂ©tĂ© civile française les ont prĂ©sentĂ©es comme une contribution tardive, mais bienvenue, Ă  la lutte mondiale contre l’...

Why Africa Realities Media Is Different

Africa Realities Media speaks to Africa and to the developed world. Many abuses facing African people are committed by African states and ruling elites, but they are often protected by international silence, lobbying, public relations, trade interests, migration deals and unequal global accountability. While governments pay lobbyists to present a good image abroad, ordinary African people continue to face violence, hunger, disease, poverty, repression and exclusion. We challenge the normalisation of African suffering and demand equal truth, equal justice and equal protection.

Pourquoi Africa Realities Media est différent?

Africa Realities Media s’adresse Ă  l’Afrique et au monde dĂ©veloppĂ©. De nombreux abus subis par les peuples africains sont commis par des États africains et des Ă©lites dirigeantes, mais ils sont souvent protĂ©gĂ©s par le silence international, le lobbying, les relations publiques, les intĂ©rĂŞts commerciaux, les accords migratoires et une responsabilitĂ© mondiale inĂ©gale. Tandis que des gouvernements paient des lobbyistes pour prĂ©senter une bonne image Ă  l’Ă©tranger, des Africains ordinaires continuent de faire face Ă  la violence, Ă  la faim, aux maladies, Ă  la pauvretĂ©, Ă  la rĂ©pression et Ă  l’exclusion. Nous contestons la normalisation de la souffrance africaine et exigeons une vĂ©ritĂ© Ă©gale, une justice Ă©gale et une protection Ă©gale.

Policy and Systems Change

Our work is designed to trigger debate, discomfort and action. We do not only expose injustice; we work for policy and systems change. We want governments and institutions to address the root causes of inequality, disadvantage, discrimination, exclusion and barriers affecting African people. We believe lasting change must be shaped by people with lived experience.

Exposing Injustice in Africa

Africa Realities Media is an independent African accountability platform based in London. We report, analyse and challenge the systems that shape African suffering, silence African victims and protect abusive power. We are not here to repeat diplomatic language. We are here to ask the questions that are often avoided: why are African deaths treated as normal? Why are African victims given less urgency? Why are governments that imprison, exclude, displace or kill their own people protected when they serve powerful international interests?

Africanews

Africa Realities Media gives space to writers, researchers, experts, activists, community voices, campaigners, analysts and people with lived experience who want to contribute thoughtful, responsible and courageous content about the changes needed in the region, as well as the political, economic, cultural and social African realities that are often ignored, minimised or misrepresented. Our articles and videos aim to encourage debate, raise awareness, stimulate critical thinking and support reflection. We seek to help people in the Great Lakes Region understand their rights to human rights, development and wellbeing, while also encouraging decision-makers to be more transparent, responsive and accountable.
