Mu kwezi kwa Kanama 2025, nibwo Protais Zigiranyirazo, uzwi cyane ku izina rya “Monsieur Z” cyangwa “Zéro”, yapfiriye mu rugo babarizwagamo i Niamey muri Niger, izina rye ryongera kwibutsa ibihe byijimye mu mateka y’u Rwanda.
Kuri benshi mu Banyarwanda, Zigiranyirazo ntiyari gusa umunyapolitiki cyangwa muramu wa Perezida Juvénal Habyarimana. Yari umutima w’ubwenge bubi n’imiyoboro y’ibanga yateguye Jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi mu 1994. Zigiranyirazo yagize uruhare rukomeye mu gushyiraho no kuyobora “Akazu” na “Réseau Zéro”, imiyoboro ibiri itandukanye ariko ikorera hamwe nk’ingingo z’umubiri umwe.
Akazu kari agatsiko k’umuryango wa Habyarimana, gahuriye kuri Madame Agathe Kanziga, gafite imbaraga mu kwigarurira ubutegetsi no kurwanya impinduka zose. Ryari ishusho y’ubutegetsi bushingiye ku bwoko n’akarere. Réseau Zéro, iyobowe na Zigiranyirazo, ryari nka mafia y’iterabwoba. Yubatswe kuva mu 1975 ubwo yabaga Perefe wa Ruhengeri, ikwirakwira mu gisirikare, ishyaka MRND, inzego z’ubutasi ndetse no mu itangazamakuru. Yafashe ubutaka, irenganya Abatutsi cyane cyane abo mu bwoko bw’Abagogwe, yica abatavuga rumwe n’ubutegetsi, kandi ikoresha urwango mu gucengeza amatwara.
Iyi mitwe yombi yakoresheje itangazamakuru ribi nka RTLM mu gucura no gukwirakwiza urwango, rugamije gukwirakwiza urwango mu Bahutu ibakangurira kwica abaturanyi babo b’abatutsi. Akazu kagaragazaga ubushake bwo gukomeza ubutegetsi bushingiye ku bashiru, Réseau Zéro ikabishyira mu mugambi ikoresheje: gutera ubwoba, gushinga interahamwe, no gukora ubwicanyi. Izo ntwaro ebyiri zari moteri yagejeje u Rwanda muri Jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi.
Nyuma ya Jenoside, Zigiranyirazo yatawe muri yombi, akatirwa n’Urukiko Mpuzamahanga Mpanabyaha rwashyiriweho u Rwanda, mbere yo kurekurwa ku mpamvu za tekinike. Yarangirije ubuzima bwe mu kwibera mu nzu irinzwe i Niger. Ariko kumva ko uyu mugabo agiye gushyingurwa mu Bufaransa, mu mujyi wa Orléans, bitunguye kandi bikomeretsa abarokotse Jenoside. Ku barokotse, si igikorwa gisanzwe cyo gushyingura umuntu, ahubwo ni igikorwa gisuzugura urwibutso rw’abishwe.
Ibuka France yamaganye cyane iki gikorwa, ivuga ko byateza impungenge ko imva ya Zigiranyirazo yahinduka ahantu ho guteranira abahakanyi n’abapfobya Jenoside, bityo ikaba intandaro yo gusuzugura imbaraga zakoreshejwe mu kubaka ukuri, ubutabera n’urwibutso. Ikindi kibabaje kurushaho ni uko si ubwa mbere u Bufaransa bwakira imirambo y’abagize uruhare muri Jenoside. Mbere bwakiriye imirambo ya Jean Bosco Barayagwiza na Colonel Anatole Nsengiyumva, abari barakatiwe n’Urukiko Mpuzamahanga. Ubu buryo busubirwamo bugaragara nko gusuzugura no guca intege abarokotse.
Ku barokotse Jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi, gushyingura Zigiranyirazo mu Bufaransa ni inkovu nshya ku mutima, kuko byibutsa ko hari abacyemera guha icyubahiro abagize uruhare mu gushora igihugu mu mwijima. Ni igikorwa gishobora guteza impungenge z’uko amateka asubira inyuma, kandi kikaba igisonga ku rugamba rwo kurwanya ihakana n’ipfobya rya Jenoside.
Urwibutso rw’abishwe ntirukwiye gusuzugurwa. Ukuri kw’amateka ntikwiye gukorerwaho politiki y’ibihe. Gushyingura abajenosideri nk’abagabo b’icyubahiro ni ukubabaza abarokotse no kwongera kubatera ububabare bw’ibihe byashize.
