Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>On Wednesday, April 12, members of Rwanda Revenue Authority, the Auditor General\u2019s office, and the National Electoral Commission, among other citizens including the youth, gathered to commemorate the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and narrate how discrimination and genocide ideology was spread in communities and schools post-Genocide.<\/p>\n

During the discussions, the story of Silas Ntamfurayishyari, a former corporal in the Rwandan military (ex-FAR), was shared to inspire the youth to possess values like patriotism, impartiality, and humanity, among others. At the risk of paying the ultimate price with his own life, Ntamfurayishyari saved the lives of dozens of Tutsi while other ex-FAR soldiers were killing them\u2014eventually getting them safely to Burundi.<\/p>\n

Born and raised in the former Ruhengeri prefecture\u2014now Musanze District\u2014 in Northern Province, Ntamfurayishyari is currently Umurinzi w\u2019igihango, (The unsung heroes) that is, any Rwandan citizen or foreigner who abode by Rwandan values such as patriotism, integrity, truth, humility, tolerance, impartiality, fairness, and who fights against segregation, genocide ideology, and denial.<\/p>\n

The Wednesday commemoration was graced by the Chairperson of Rwanda Elders Advisory Forum, Tito Rutaremara, who urged the youth to learn from Ntamfurayishyari\u2019s values that characterised Umurinzi w\u2019igihango when he fought against discrimination and genocide ideology.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the area where I grew up, I always heard people saying \u2018Tutsi are enemies\u2019, but because I was young I always wondered who Tutsis were. I had dreams to become a priest and my father used to tell me to be friendly to everyone,\u201d Ntamfurayishyari narrated at the gathering.<\/p>\n

Mourners follow Tito’s remarks during the commemoration event.<\/p>\n

As a child, he said, he heard that Tutsis had fled to Uganda, \u201cPeople plundered their properties after expelling them. We were told that the Tutsi were bad and wicked people. During my childhood, I remember people talking about a Tutsi called Thadee Munyagasozi in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause my mother used to sell beer, this old man Munyagasozi used to drink from our bar. One day I watched him and realised he was an innocent man, and wondered why he was labelled bad,\u201d Ntamfurayishyari said.<\/p>\n

In 1982 when he was in Primary Six, he started witnessing how Tutsi were being treated and some, tortured.<\/p>\n

\u201cMunyagasozi had a daughter called Epiphanie. she came to study Primary 8 at the same school. When she got to the school, classmates and teachers mistreated and tortured her even during recreation periods, and on her way to and from school. She ended up dropping out,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n

In 1987, Ntamfurayishyari needed an identity card from the commune (now sector) to be able to register for vocational and technical training.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey asked me to mention my ethnic group. I used to hear my mother saying she is \u2018Umusinga\u2019 while my father used to say he is \u2018Umuzigaba\u2019 (clans). The authorities told me those were not ethnic groups. They asked me to tell them if I was Hutu or Tutsi. I chose to say that I am Tutsi as I didn\u2019t know what it was,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In 1989, he wanted to join the Rwandan National Gendarmerie, currently called Rwanda National Police.<\/p>\n

\u201cI passed the exam, in fact, I was the first among four other front-runners. Then they rejected me after seeing that my identity card had Tutsi. They said the ID had some errors and I was replaced with someone who came in fifth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Later, his father told him to go back to the commune and have his identity card changed to Hutu.<\/p>\n

Joining ex-FAR<\/b><\/p>\n

On April 1, 1990, when Ntamfurayishyari was 21 years old, he joined the military\u2014 then called Forces arme\u0301es rwandaises (FAR)\u2014after being rejected by Gendarmerie, and relocated to Bugesera in the Eastern Province.<\/p>\n

Senior officials from Rwanda Revenue Authority, the Auditor General\u2019s office, and the National Electoral Commission during a commemoration event on Wednesday, April 12.<\/p>\n

In 1990, he was among the soldiers deployed at the Umutara prefecture on the frontline, but something was not right.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe authorities used to tell us to take Tutsi as enemies and we were prevented from marrying Tutsi women. I remained in Umutara till 1992,\u201d he said, recalling how they were being manipulated into hating Tutsis.<\/p>\n

After leaving Umutara, he was redeployed to Gako Military Camp in Bugesera, where killings were in full swing even before the start of the Genocide.<\/p>\n

\u201cTutsi were being persecuted in Bugesera and would seek refuge in church premises. Their houses were burnt. We were told to force the Tutsi out of the refuge. But I refused,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ntamfurayishyari recalled that one day when he was with fellow soldiers, they met a woman who happened to be a primary school teacher. Some men were attacking her and wanted to kill her because she was a Tutsi. Knowing well how bad this could end for him, Ntamfurayishyari chose to save the woman, sending the attackers into a rage and riot, and this prompted Ntamfurayishyari to fire his rifle in the air to disperse them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember that after shooting in the air I took the lady to refuge in Gahembe. I was always accused of supporting Inkotanyi. Ex-FAR soldiers were about to kill me but I survived,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

At the time, Ntamfurayishyari was an ADEPR adherent. \u201cWhile I strived to protect Tutsi, my colleagues who were Christians were killing them and plundering their property,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Tito Rutaremara, Chairperson of Rwanda Elders Advisory Forum speaks during the commemoration event. Tito urged youth to learn from good values.<\/p>\n

Together with a few other soldiers, they rescued some Tutsis in Rwanda and took them to Burundi, by foot through a forest stretching 20 kilometres, with the minimal supplies they had.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the Genocide started, together with my colleague Karemangingo, we discussed how we could save the Tutsi. We hid them before departure to Burundi in a forest during the night.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy mid-April, I was still fighting to save the Tutsi to take them to Burundi. We managed to reach the Burundi border after escaping many roadblocks by ex-FAR soldiers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

After his commander realised he was rescuing Tutsi, he ordered soldiers to kill him but survived.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the soldiers who also tried to save Tutsi was dismissed and left in hands of the Interahamwe, and died,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Joining RPF<\/b><\/p>\n

After RPF-Inkotanyi took over Bugesera, Ntamfurayishyari went back to Bugesera and was integrated into the Inkotanyi army.<\/p>\n

\u201cI retired in 1998. Some of my children are also currently soldiers in RPF-Inkotanyi,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Ntamfurayishyari urged the youth to learn lessons from the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and fight against discrimination.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough I grew up as Hutu, I didn\u2019t involve myself in discrimination or genocide ideology. Such values can help us build the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Youth can \u2018borrow a leaf\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

Rutaremara urged the youth to learn good lessons from the RPF-Inkotanyi that liberated the country and stopped the Genocide and possess values of Umurinzi w\u2019igihango like Ntamfurayishyari.<\/p>\n
