Raila Odinga wumvikanye cyane mu matora yo muri Kenya yitabye Imana

Minisitiri w’Intebe wa Kenya, Raila Odinga, yitabye Imana afite imyaka 80, nk’uko byemejwe n’abagize umuryango we.

Odinga yitabye Imana ku wa Gatatu ubwo yari arimo kuvurirwa mu bitaro byo mu Hindustan mu gihugu cy’Ubuhinde.

Mu byumweru bishize, hari hakwirakwijwe amakuru ajyanye n’ubuzima bwe, n’ubwo abo mu muryango we n’inshuti za politiki bahakanye ibyavugwaga ko arembye cyane.

Abanyapolitiki n’abandi bayobozi, barimo na Minisitiri w’Intebe wa Etiyopiya Abiy Ahmed, batangiye gutanga ubutumwa bw’akababaro.

Uyu mugabo wari ukomeye muri politiki ya Kenya kandi uzwi nk’umuhanga mu gukangurira abaturage politiki, yahatanye inshuro eshanu ku mwanya wa Perezida ariko ntatsinde. Ku nshuro zose, yahakanye ibyavuye mu matora avuga ko intsinzi ye yibwe.

Yaje guhabwa ubutabera n’Urukiko rw’Ikirenga rwa Kenya mu matora ya 2017, ubwo rusesa intsinzi ya Uhuru Kenyatta rutegeka ko hasubirwamo amatora. Ariko Odinga yanze kuyitabira asaba ko habanza kubaho ivugurura mu mikorere y’akanama gashinzwe amatora.

Amatora ya 2007 nayo yabaye intandaro y’amage akomeye muri Kenya, nyuma y’uko Odinga avuze ko yibwe amajwi na Mwai Kibaki. Icyo gihe, igihugu cyinjiye mu bihe bikomeye by’ubugizi bwa nabi byahitanye abantu 1,200, abandi 600,000 barahunga ingo zabo.

Icyo kibazo cyakemuwe nyuma y’uko Kofi Annan, wahoze ari Umunyamabanga Mukuru w’Umuryango w’Abibumbye (ONU), abashije kubumvikanisha ku masezerano yo gusangira ubutegetsi, bituma hashyirwaho guverinoma y’ubumwe, aho Odinga yabaye Minisitiri w’Intebe.

Odinga azwiho kenshi kwiyunga n’abaperezida bari ku butegetsi nyuma y’amatora yabaga arimo amakimbirane.

Nyuma yo gutsindwa mu matora ya 2022, yongeye kwifatanya na Perezida William Ruto mu cyiswe guverinoma y’ubumwe bw’igihugu, ishyira bamwe mu bafatanyabikorwa be ku myanya ikomeye.

Yavuze ko iyo ntambwe yari ngombwa kugira ngo hagarurwe ubumwe bw’igihugu, nyuma y’imyigaragambyo ikomeye yabaye umwaka ushize yagejeje ku kwinjira mu nzu y’inteko ishinga amategeko, aho abantu benshi bahasize ubuzima mu makimbirane n’inzego z’umutekano.

Guverinoma ya Ruto yanashyigikiye kandidatire ya Odinga ku mwanya wa Perezida w’Umuryango wa Afurika Yunze Ubumwe (AUC), mu matora yabaye uyu mwaka. N’ubwo yari afite ubufasha bukomeye mu karere, yatsinzwe na Mahmoud Ali Youssouf wo muri Djibouti.

Odinga yari umuntu ukundwa cyane n’abamushyigikiye, cyane cyane mu burengerazuba bwa Kenya aho yavukiye.

Abamukundaga bamwitaga amazina menshi y’urukundo nka “Baba” (Se), “Agwambo” (Igikorwa cy’Imana), na “Tinga” (Tracteur), iri rya nyuma rikomoka ku ikimenyetso cy’ishyaka rye mu matora ya 1997.

Yari azwi nk’umunyapolitiki w’inararibonye mu mitegurire n’iyamamaza, ukunze gukurura imbaga nyinshi mu nama ze za politiki, kandi ufite ubushobozi bwo kwegera no kumva abaturage bo mu rwego rwo hasi.

Azahora yibukwa nk’umurwanashyaka utigeze acogora mu guharanira demokarasi n’uburenganzira bwa muntu.

Odinga yabaye imfungwa ya politiki igihe kirekire kurusha abandi bose muri Kenya. Yahagaritse ubutegetsi bwa Daniel arap Moi bwari bushingiye kuri ishyaka rimwe rukumbi, bikamuviramo gufungwa kabiri: kuva 1982 kugeza 1988, hanyuma 1989 kugeza 1991.

Yafunzwe bwa mbere ashinjwa kugira uruhare mu mugambi wo guhirika ubutegetsi mu 1982, icyo gihe cyamugize izina rikomeye mu gihugu hose.
