Mwirebere ibishimisha abagore
Madamu
Abagore b'i Rwanda Ni beza ntabwo bigira gutya
Lyrics
It’s time for me to say this-
Addressing all you guys
Except for all the drag queens-
who deserve a nobel prize.
But the straight guys
Those don’t realize
What we go through
Everyday and it’s a lot.
Now it’s time for all us females to
To remind you, just in case you all forgot:
The 7 things guys don’t have to do:
1)Shave legs 2)Give Birth 3)Aunt Flow 4)Wear Skirts 5)Wax armpits, hey it hurts!
6)Wear panty hose, 7)and paint your toes Too… 8)High Heels
9)Pluck brows 10)Skip Meals 11)Count pounds 12)Some girls have to carry Heavy mounds. 13)We’re way past seven now But I’ll keep going
Anyhow
14)Uncomfy thongs, Tight bras 15)Tampons. 16)Blow our money on
Beauty Salons. Flat iron burns And Health Concerns From Hair Dye Fumes And the reason why We do these crazy things that we do…..
Is we do it for you
Sometimes we’re hard to deal with,
That, we can’t deny. But Just think of what we go through,
See that’s the reason why. Shave legs Give Birth Aunt Flow
Wear Skirts Wax armpits, hey it hurts! Wear panty hose, and paint your toes Too… Uncomfy thongs, Tight bras Tampons. Blow our money on
Beauty Salons. Flat iron burns And Health Concerns From Hair Dye Fumes And the reason why We do these
crazy things that we do…..
Is we do it for you

A five-day conference of the inter-disciplinary Genocide Studies Centre, a network of researchers based in the United States of America, in partnership with the National Commission Against Genocide, opened Tuesday at Hotel Novotel in Kigali.
The aim of the conference is to bring together different scientific disciplines, like theology, philosophy, sociology, literature, psychology and others, in an attempt to create a pool of knowledge for the social-economic reconstruction of the Rwandan society after the 1994 Genocide of Tutsi.
The conference was attended by delegates from various countries, representing various disciplines.
They presented papers on the roles their professions could play in bringing to light purposeful information and knowledge through which the Rwandan society can overcome the effects of the Tutsi genocide, erase the genocide ideology and completely reconstruct itself.
"Rwanda needs institutions like these so that a united body of Rwandans can be formed to fight the genocide ideology and to support the already existing anti-Genocide measures put in place by the government," said the Minister of Culture and Sports, Joseph Habineza who was also the guest of honour.
He also advised participants, especially those from other countries, not to be duped into believing the defamatory information some propagandists spread, painting Rwanda in bad light.
He requested them to be ambassadors of Rwanda when they go back because they have had a chance of seeing the country with their own eyes.
The Director General of the National Institute of Museums and chairman of the national commission against genocide, Professor Kanimba Misago Celestin highlighted in his speech the significance of this conference.
"This meeting is going to profoundly benefit people especially Rwandans, in attempting to cleanse the genocide ideology from their land. However, this benefit can only materialize if ideas shared and knowledge created are put into writing and considered in our daily lives"
He further urged genocide survivors to overcome its aftermath, however difficult it was, so they can work towards reconstructing their lives and society.
According to Alloys Mahwah, the secretary of this conference, people from other countries were brought in so that they could gain knowledge about the Tutsi Genocide and share ideas.
"Putting together the different scientific disciplines like theology, history, philosophy, psychology and others, can be fundamental in fighting the Genocide ideology because some of these disciplines were used as instruments to perpetuate the 1994 Tutsi Genocide," Mahwah said.
The conference is also aimed at finding solutions for victims of the Genocide, most especially those who were traumatized by the gruesome massacres in which over a million people perished.

Rwanda: Government destroys 160 tonnes of ammunition
Rwanda: Government Destroys 160 Tonnes of Ammunition

The government carried out an exercise to destroy 160 tonnes of ammunition and unexploded ordinances at Gabiro Military Training School yesterday.
"The ammunition and unexploded ordinances include those that were retrieved from different parts of the country and the expired ones that have been in the stores of Rwandan Defence Forces and Rwanda National Police," Musa Fazil Harerimana, Rwanda's Minister for Internal Security told officials who turned up at the event.
He explained that former government forces and Interahamwe militias scattered many rounds of ammunition and unexploded ordinances in Rwandan communities, so after their defeat the Government felt a great concern to search for and collect them in order to ensure the security of its citizens.
"Unlike the former government which bought arms and ammunition and distributed them throughout the country to kill people, the current government led by President Paul Kagame, has a vision of providing security as a catalyst for development," Minister Harerimana said.
He observed that because of the existence of different rebel groups in the Great Lakes region and the Horn of Africa, there could be a lot of ammunition and unexploded ordinances which are scattered amongst communities thus posing a security threat to innocent civilians.
He noted that Rwanda therefore finds it necessary to cooperate with neighbouring countries in the fight against illegal fire arms and ammunition.
Tharcisse Midonzi, the Regional Representative of the Regional Centre on Small Ammunitions called on regional countries to emulate Rwanda.
He noted that pursuant to the United Nations programme of action, the Bamako Declaration, Nairobi Declaration and Nairobi Protocol, member states are responsible for collecting and destroying expired ammunition and unexploded ordinances.
He, however, argued that this has not been the case as a lot of ammunition and unexploded ordinances are left on the ground, inflicting severe damage on human lives.
Leonard Onyonyi, the coordinator of Small Arms and Light Weapons in the East African Community, called for proper management on small arms and ammunition in the EAC bloc.
"They are a challenge and a threat to lives and they must be controlled," Onyonyi said.
Superintendent Eric Kayiranga, coordinator of Rwanda National Focal Point on Small Arms and Light Weapons said that about 7,500 small ammunitions and unexploded ordinances have been destroyed since Rwanda started this exercise in 2006.
He explained that 2,600 small arms and light weapons were set on fire in Musha in 2006, followed by 2,500 in Muhanga in 2007; while 2,400 were burnt at Gabiro in yesterday's event.
