Bien avant l\u2019attentat du 21 avril 1994 \u00e0 Murambi, pendant le g\u00e9nocide contre les Tutsi au Rwanda, les r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s qui avaient trouv\u00e9 refuge \u00e0 l\u2019\u00c9cole Technique Officielle (ETO) de Murambi ont v\u00e9cu une r\u00e9alit\u00e9 bien diff\u00e9rente de celle qui leur avait \u00e9t\u00e9 promise. D\u00e9ception, abus et mort ont marqu\u00e9 leur quotidien, comme en t\u00e9moignent les rescap\u00e9s lors du proc\u00e8s de Laurent Bucyibaruta devant la cour d\u2019assises de Paris.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Vers 15 heures, l\u2019ordre a \u00e9t\u00e9 donn\u00e9 de nous rendre \u00e0 Murambi o\u00f9 nous serions prot\u00e9g\u00e9s. Nous avons subi des attaques, souffert de la soif et de la faim. L\u2019eau avait \u00e9t\u00e9 coup\u00e9e, et si nous descendions dans la vall\u00e9e pour puiser, on nous attaquait. Une livraison de riz a bien \u00e9t\u00e9 faite, mais en quantit\u00e9 insuffisante. Nous avons re\u00e7u un verre de riz pour six personnes, \u00bb<\/em> a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 un t\u00e9moin rescap\u00e9 de l\u2019ETO Murambi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019illusion de s\u00e9curit\u00e9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un t\u00e9moin, qui tenait un b\u00e9b\u00e9 de six mois \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque, a racont\u00e9 :
\u00ab Mon mari voulait partir pour le Burundi, mais je m\u2019y suis oppos\u00e9e, pr\u00e9textant que rien ne nous arriverait, qu\u2019ils ne pouvaient pas tuer une telle foule. Nous sommes rest\u00e9s sur place. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elle a ajout\u00e9 :
\u00ab Mon b\u00e9b\u00e9 a pleur\u00e9 pendant des heures, et vers trois heures du matin, nous avons entendu des coups de feu. Les tueurs avaient encercl\u00e9 le site et commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 massacrer les gens r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s au rez-de-chauss\u00e9e du b\u00e2timent o\u00f9 nous nous trouvions. C\u2019en \u00e9tait fini pour nous. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Des promesses non tenues<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Une autre t\u00e9moin, une veuve ayant perdu ses huit enfants, a t\u00e9moign\u00e9 :
\u00ab Chez nous, \u00e0 Nzega, nous avons pass\u00e9 la nuit au presbyt\u00e8re. Le lendemain, on nous a conduits \u00e0 Murambi autour de 15 heures, o\u00f9 on devait nous prot\u00e9ger. Mais rapidement, l\u2019eau a \u00e9t\u00e9 coup\u00e9e, et nous n\u2019avions rien \u00e0 boire ni \u00e0 manger. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elle a poursuivi :
\u00ab Un jour, le pr\u00eatre a apport\u00e9 du riz, mais d\u00e8s le lendemain, des attaques ont eu lieu. Nous n\u2019avons pas pu manger. Le mercredi 20, la nuit, ils nous sont tomb\u00e9s dessus, machettant les enfants et coupant des jambes. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

En larmes, elle a ajout\u00e9 que les autorit\u00e9s avaient tromp\u00e9 les r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s.
\u00ab Lors d\u2019une r\u00e9union avant notre d\u00e9part pour Murambi, le bourgmestre avait pr\u00e9tendu qu\u2019il nous prot\u00e9gerait. Nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 abandonn\u00e9s. Les r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s arrivaient de partout, et nous avions peur de mourir. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

La confiance mal plac\u00e9e<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un autre t\u00e9moin, commer\u00e7ant vivant pr\u00e8s du site de Murambi, a racont\u00e9 :
\u00ab L\u2019eau a \u00e9t\u00e9 coup\u00e9e peu apr\u00e8s, et les r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s se sont r\u00e9volt\u00e9s. Bucyibaruta et Sebuhura sont venus pour une r\u00e9union, promettant aux r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s qu\u2019ils seraient en s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Comme on disait que l\u2019\u00e9pouse du pr\u00e9fet \u00e9tait Tutsi, les r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s avaient confiance en lui. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il a ajout\u00e9 que l\u2019eau n\u2019a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9tablie et que la CARITAS a livr\u00e9 quelques sacs de riz, insuffisants pour les besoins des r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s.
\u00ab Les r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s faisaient confiance au pr\u00e9fet et ont d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de rester sur le site de Murambi. S\u2019ils \u00e9taient partis, ils ne seraient pas tous morts. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appel \u00e0 la justice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les t\u00e9moins demandent que justice soit rendue pour les victimes innocentes et les rescap\u00e9s maltrait\u00e9s. Laurent Bucyibaruta est poursuivi pour g\u00e9nocide et crimes contre l\u2019humanit\u00e9 qu\u2019il aurait commis dans la pr\u00e9fecture de Gikongoro, o\u00f9 il \u00e9tait pr\u00e9fet avant et pendant le g\u00e9nocide de 1994. Son proc\u00e8s, d\u00e9but\u00e9 le 9 mai 2022, est pr\u00e9vu de se terminer le 12 juillet 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
