Bashatse kumutema ahagaze arababwira ati mureke mbanze ndyame munteme ndyamye aranabasaba ati mureke nsenge baramureka arasenga, yubika inda hasi asa n’upfutse mu maso afata no mu matwi”.
Akomeza agira ati “Bahise bamucamo ibice bitatu umwe atema ijosi, undi atema mu mugongo, undi atema ku maguru ahagana ku butsinsino. Ni ibintu byabereye rimwe, kuko uko ari batatu batemeye rimwe baramucocagura mpagaze aho ndeba”.
Bakimara kwica umubyeyi we, bafashe na mukuru we witwa Veronique wari ufite imyaka 17, bamukubita impiri mu mutwe, ariruka arabacika basigara batemagura abandi baturanyi bari bahunganye.
Uko Mukankusi yarokotse nyuma yo kubona urupfu rwa se
Mukankusi wari umwana, nyuma y’agahinda kenshi ko kubona uburyo umubyeyi we yishwe urw’agashinyaguro, yabonye ko umuhoro ukomeje kuvuza ubuhuha batemagura Abatutsi, aca izo nterahamwe mu rihumye yirukira mu ishyamba ry’inturusu ku bw’ibyago asanga ryuzuye amahwa.
Ati “Nahise nirukankira mu ishyamba ry’inturusu nsanga ryuzuye amahwa n’ibiti bifatanye by’imitamutamu bigenda binkobora amaboko yose, imyenda inshikiraho ndakomeza ndiruka, byari bimaze kugera mu ma saa tanu ku manywa, ari nako numva urusaku rw’inzu zisamburwa”.
Uwo mwana ngo yakomeje kwiruka, agera ubwo abantu batangira kumuvugiriza induru bamukurikira bafite n’imihoro agiye kugera mu kabande yikubita hasi ahagama mu giti cy’inturusu cyari cyamufashe mu ijosi abura uko agenda.
Ngo zimwe muri izo nterahamwe zashatse ku mutema umwe muri zo ngo arazibuza, avuga ko kuba bamaze kwica se uwo mwana adateye ibibazo avuga ko bamureka akazicwa n’inzara, mu gihe abandi bashakaga kumufata ngo bamujugunye mu musarani wari warashaje waruzuye.
Agira ati “Umwe muri izo nterahamwe arababwira ati rero aka kana murabona ise tumaze kumutema, abavandimwe be twabishe, nimukareke kagende kazicwa n’inzara. Ni uko bandetse ndazamuka ngeze mu muhanda hafi yaho bari bamaze kwicira ba Papa nza guhura n’umukecuru witwaga Suzana”.
Uwo mukecuru, ngo yamugiriye impuhwe amusaba kumujyana mu rugo akamwoza dore ko yari amaze guhindana. Mukankusi ngo yarebye ibisebe afite atinya ko bamushyiraho amazi, umwana avuga ko afite Mama wabo witwa Mariya muri ako gace, uwo mukecuru amugezayo baramwakira, ari naho Mukuru we yamusanze bose barabahisha, dore ko uwo mama wabo, we ngo atahigwaga kuko yari yarashatse mu muryango utarahigwaga, arabahisha kugera ku itariki 19 ubwo Inkotanyi zazaga kubarokora.
Mukuru we bari baratatanye witwa Mukamuhigirwa Speciose, aho yari yihishe ku mugabo witwa Rubanguka, ubwo muri urwo rugo bashakaga guhungira muri Tanzaniya, nibwo Mukamuhigirwa yumvise ko Inkotanyi ziri gutabara Abatutsi agenda yerekeza mu gace zarimo na we ararokoka.
Ubuzima bwa Mukankusi nyuma yo kurokorwa n’Inkotanyi
Mukankusi avuga ko Inkotanyi zikibageraho, zabitayeho aho abana batoya zagendaga zibahetse zibajyana i Kabarondo ahari inkambi y’abo Inkotanyi zarokoye.
Ati “Nari akana kananutse, ndabyibuka aho Inkotanyi zagiye zimpetse ku rutugu zingeza i Kabarondo, bagenda bampa icyayi cyari muri Gourde, ni uko narokotse”.
Nyuma ya Jenoside Mukankusi na bakuru be, nyuma yo kuva mu nkambi i Kabarondo bagiye ahitwa i Rubira muri Kabarondo aho se ubabyara yavukaga barirera, batungwa n’umushahara wa mukuru wabo wari umaze kubona akazi ko kwigisha, Mukankusi we asubira mu ishuri ari nako bahinga amasambu bashaka ikibatunga.
Nyuma y’imyaka ibiri nibwo bigiriye inama yo gusubira i Shyanda aho bari batuye mbere ya Jenoside, uwo mukuru wabo wari umwarimu ngo yagerageje gushaka amabati asakara inzu yabo yari yarasenywe muri Jenoside bajya kuyibamo.
Aho babaga ari n’impfubyi ngo nta mutekano uhagije bari bafite, aho hari hatuye ingo nke hakikijwe n’amashyamba ngo rimwe hanyura umugiraneza w’i Rwamagana abajyana mu rugo, Mukankusi ahakomereza amashuri ye abanza n’icyiciro cya mbere cy’ayisumbuye akaba yarigaga muri St Aloys i Rwamagana.
Icyiciro cya kabiri cy’amashuri yagikomereje i Kiramurizi aho yakuye impamyabumenyi y’amashuri yisumbuye mu mwaka wa 2007.
Nyuma y’uko umuryango we wishwe, byateye Mukankusi kwiga amategeko agamije guteza imbere Ubutabera
Mukankusi akirangiza amashuri yisumbuye yagannye inzira yo kwiga amategeko. Ni mu rwego rwo gufasha Leta muri serivisi y’ubutabera, nyuma y’uko yari abuze umuryango we kubera ubutabera bubogamye.
Ati “Njya kwiga amategeko sinari nzi ko nzaba Umushinjacyaha, Umucamanza se, Umwavoka se…Nagiye kwiga amategeko gusa kugira ngo mbashe kurenganura urengana, ndetse menye n’ikindengera icyo ari cyo”.
Arongera ati “Igihugu cyacu cyaranzwe n’amateka mabi, abantu bacu bakajya bicwa ntihagire uvuga, mu byitso barakubitwa barafungwa, ukajya muri gereza nta dosiye ufite, ukamara n’imyaka ubayeho nabi ukoreshwa imirimo y’ingufu. Ibyo byose twabibayemo, n’ubwo nari umwana ariko narabibonaga, hari abazaga iwacu gusaka ngo turi inyenzi”.
Muri 2012 Mukankusi yarangije kwiga ibyerekeranye n’Amategeko ahabwa Impamyabumenyi, akaba yari amaze no kubona akazi mu bushinjacyaha muri Nyarugenge. Mu mpera za 2012 yagiye mu ipiganwa atsinda ikizamini aba Umushinjacyaha ku rwego rw’Intara, aho yagiye gukorera mu rukiko rw’ibanze muri Rwamagana, ari naho yashingiye urugo, akora ubukwe ku itariki 20 Ukwakira 2012 abyara umwana w’imfura muri Nyakanga 2013.
Nyuma yaho yazamuwe mu ntera agirwa Umushinjacyaha ku rukiko rwisumbuye rwa Nyarugenge ari naho akorera kugeza ubu.
Ati “Umuntu wari ugiye kwicwa n’inzara, Imana yaramurengeye avamo umuntu”.
