Harabura imyaka ibiri ngo iyi nama iteranire i Kigali, ariko se ni iki wamenya kuri uyu muryango watangiye uhuza ibihugu byakoronizwaga n’u Bwongereza ku migabane yose?

Dore ibintu birindwi ushobora kuba utari uzi kuri uyu muryango washinzwe mu 1949, ufatwa nk’umwe mu miryango ihuza ibihugu ikomeye ku isi, u Rwanda rwatangiye kugiramo ijambo mu myaka umunani gusa rumaze rwemerewe kwinjiramo:

1. Agahigo gashya ku Rwanda

Bifashe u Rwanda imyaka Icyenda gusa kugira ngo rwakire inama ya Commonwealth (CHOGM), ari nayo myaka rwari rumaze muri uyu muryango. Iki gihe nicyo gito ugereranyije n’icyo ibindi bihugu byagiye byinjiramo nyuma byakoresheje ngo biyakire.

3. Ibihugu byose biwugize si ko byakolonijwe n’Abongereza

U Rwanda ni cyo gihugu cya kabiri kinjiye muri uyu muryango kitarakolonijwe n’u Bwongereza ndetse nta n’ikindi cyabihuzaga, nyuma ya Mozambique yabanje kwinjiramo bwa mbere mu 1995.

Gusa uko ibihugu bishya byaje hari n’ibyagiye bivamo nka Zimbabwe, nyuma y’aho mu 2003 ihagarikiwe kubera Robert Mugabe yashinjwaga uburiganya mu matora.

Pakistan nayo yahagaritswe mu 1999 kubera leta yari iriho yashinjwaga guhirika ubutegetsi bwariho, ariko yaje kongera gusubizwamo nyuma y’imyaka igera kuri ibiri.

Afurika y’Epfo yirukanywe muri uyu muryango mu 1961 nyuma y’uko ubutegetsi bwariho bakoreshaga politiki y’ivangura izwi nka “apartheid”. Iki gihugu cyaje gusubira muri uyu muryango mu 1994.

Igihugu giheruka kwikura muri uyu muryango ni ibirwa bya Maldives byasabye kuvamo mu 2016.

4. Umwamikazi w’u Bwongereza ayoboramo ibihugu 16

Biratangaje kumva umuyobozi w’ikindi gihugu ayobora n’ikindi ariko ni ko bimeze. Umwamikazi Elizabeth niwe muyobozi mukuru w’ibihugu 16 bigize uyu muryango. Ni ukuvuga ko yungirizwa na Minisitiri w’Intebe akaba ari nawe ukora akazi ka buri munsi.

Ibyo bihugu byinshi bigizwe n’ibirwa ni Antigua na Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts na Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent na Grenadines, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu ubwami bw’u Bwongereza (UK).

Ibihugu bitandatu bisigaye bifite ubwami bwabyo bubiyobora naho 31 bisigaye bikaba ari repubulika ziyoborwa na baperezida.

5. Ibihugu biri muri Commonwealth bihagaze neza muri Afurika.

Ibihugu birindwi mu icumi bifite uburinganire hagati y’abagore n’abagabo buri hejuru, muri Afurika yo munsi y’ubutayu bwa Sahari ni ibyo mu muryango wa Commonwealth.

Muri Afurika yose kandi ibihugu birindwi bya mbere bifite imiyoborere myiza ni ni ibyo muri uyu muryango usanzwe ufite indangagaciro zo kwimakaza imiyoborere myiza, uburinganire no kubahiriza uburenganzira bwa muntu.

Muri ibyo bihugu byose muri ibyo byiciro uko ari bibiri u Rwanda ruri mu myaka y’imbere.

6. Uyu muryango ni mugali kurusha uko ubikeka

Ibihugu bigize Commonwalth ubishyize ahantu hamwe byaba byihariye 1/4 cy’ubutaka bwisi.

Canada niyo ifasha uyu muryango kugira ubuso bunini kuko n’ubundi isanzwe ari igihugu cya kabiri kinini ku isi.

Ibihugu n’u Buhinde na Australia nabyo ni ibihugu bisanzwe ari binini ku isi byose bigira uruhare mu kwagura ubuso bw’uyu muryango.

Gusa Commonwealth ifite ibindi bihugu bifite ubuso buto butangaje. Muri byo harimo ibirwa nka Nauru bihereye mu Nyanja ya Pacific, Samoa, Tuvalu na Vanuatu, Dominica na Antigua na Barbuda bihereye muri Caraibes.

Umuntu ntiyabura kwemeza ko u Rwanda narwo ruri mu bihugu bito bigize uyu muryango.

7. Commonwalth yahoze yitwa “British Commonwealth”

Uyu muryango washinzwe ahagana mu kinyejana cya 20 ariko mu 1949 nibwo wavuguruwe, hatangira kurebwa inyungu rusange z’abawugize ari nabwo bahise bakuraho ijambo “British” mu rwego rwo kwirinda ko byagaragara nk’ubukoloni.

Ikindi gitangaje ni uko kuva uyu muryango washingwa umaze kuyoborwa n’abantu babiri gusawami George wa Kane n’Umwamikazi Elizabeth wa Kabiri ari nawe uriho ubu.

Ariko ntibivuze ko ari itegeko ko uyoborwa n’uturutse mu bwami bw’u Bwongereza. Gusa byitezweho ko Igikomangoma William ari we uzaba umuyobozi wawo wa gatatu namara kuba Umwami w’u Bwongereza.

Yagize ati "u Rwanda rwiteguye kwakira amahirwe mu by’ubukungu, politiki, umuco n’andi yose uyu muryango utanga."

9. U Bwongereza bwihariye igice kinini cy’ubukungu bw’uyu muryango

Ntibitangaje ariko umuntu ntiyabura kubikomozaho ko u Bwongereza ari cyo gihugu gikungayahe muri uyu muryango. Gusa hari ibindi bihugu bibuyingayinga nk’u Buhinde na Canada.

By’umwihariko u Buhinde bukaba bushobora kujya ku mwanya wa mbere bitewe n’umuvuduko bufite mu iterambere.

Imibare iheruka ya 2017 ku bukungu bw’imbere mu giihugu (GDP) uko buhagaze, u Bwongereza bwazaga ku isonga na miliyari 2.496 z’amadolari, u Buhinde bugakurikira na miliyari 2.454 na Canada ikaza ari iya gatatu na miliyari 1.600.
