I Darfur hari hashyushye gahoro hakanakonja, mu gihe muri Santarafurika harashyuha, ariko nashoboye gukorera muri ibyo bice nta kibazo. Bivuze ko abagore bashoboye byose kimwe n’abagabo”.

Iyo twasuraga abagore mu nkambi cyangwa mu magereza, byabaga bishimije kubona ari twe bahitamo kwizera bakatuganiriza ku byababayeho nko gufatwa ku ngufu, hanyuma tukabaganiriza tukabafasha. Byonyine no kutubona byabaga bihagije kubafasha gukira ihungabana, twarabigishije kandi tubafasha muri byinshi”.

Maj Mutesi na we avuga ko abakobwa benshi bakwiye gushishikarizwa kwinjira mu nzego z’umutekano, hanyuma bakajya mu butumwa bw’amahoro guhindura isi.
Ati “Abakobwa bakwiye kumenya ko kuba umusirikare cyangwa umupolisi ari akazi nk’akandi, kandi bikaba umuhamagaro wo gukorera igihugu, ikintu gikwiye kubatera ishema. Imyumvire y’uko kujya mu igisirikare bikomeye irashaje”.
Ati “RDF yahaye amahirwe angina ku bakobwa n’abagore. Ntabwo batubogamiraho kuko turi igitsina cy’intege nke. Dushoboye gukora imirimo imwe n’abagabo. Ndashishikariza abakobwa gufata ibi nk’amahirwe yo kwiteza imbere no gukorera igihugu cyabo”.
Kuba ari umubyeyi w’abana babiri, ntibyamubujije kugera ku nzozi ze. Avuga ko uburyo bwo kwinjira mu giisirikare ku bakobwa ubu bworoshye kurusha igehe bo binjiriyemo, ariko we na bagenzi be bakaba barabishiboye kandi bakagenda bazamuka mu mapeti, ubu bakaba bahagarariye igihugu ku mugabane.
Avuga ko abagore b’Abanyarwanda bari mu butumwa bw’amahoro bafite isura nziza aho bari hose, kandi bagaragaza impinduka mu baturage, ari na yo mpamvu Loni ikomeza gushishikariza abakobwa n’abagore kwitabira ibikorwa by’ubutumwa bw’amahoro.
