Ati “Nkanjye bimfasha kumenya kuganira n’umuryango iyo ngeze mu Rwanda, nkumva ibiganiro, nkisanzura hano mu Rwanda kuko mba numva ndi umunyarwandakazi. Twebwe tuba dushaka kukimenya ariko hari abadashyiramo imbaraga nyinshi mu kukivuga no kucyiga kubera ko ababyeyi batabiha agaciro. Jye mbona bikenewe, nshaka kuzabatera imbaraga zo kukiga.”

Cyusa Noris Karara w’imyaka 17, atuye mu Bubiligi. Avuga ko akunda kuvuga Ikinyarwanda cyane, kuko ku ishuri bavuga Igifaransa cyane n’izindi ndimi zikoreshwa mu Bubiligi, bigatuma iyo ageze mu rugo yiganirira n’ababyeyi be ururimi kavukire.

Hano mu Bubiligi tujya tubona cyane ababyeyi batavugana Ikinyarwanda n’abana babo kuko bumva ko batakimenya, bagomba kukiga kuko ni umuco wacu, ariko jye birambabaza iyo mbona ababyeyi batigisha ngo banareke abana baze mu Rwanda bamenye umuco wabo.”

Christopher Icyimanitegetse ni umwarimu muri iryo shuri. Avuga ko nubwo bafite abanyeshuri banditse bagera kuri 62, ariko batababonera rimwe kuko batitabira nk’uko bikwiye.

Ati “Iyo tugize amahirwe tukabona na 3/4 byabo dushima Imana. Hari igihe umubyeyi aba afite n’ubushake bwo kuzana umwana ku ishuri, ariko bigakubitana n’uko wenda habonetse isabukuru y’undi mwana, cyangwa bari bujye ku mafarasi, ugasanga ni zimwe mu mbogamizi zituma batohereza abana babo ku ishuri Umuco. Ariko iyo babashije kuza, baraza bakiga, ugasanga bafite n’umurava, barashaka kucyiga, ariko n’iyo tubigishije basubira mu rugo bakivugira Igifaransa, wa mubyeyi atarimo kunganira mwarimu kugira ngo bakimenye neza.”

Intebe y’Inteko, Prof. Robert Masozera, avuga ko umunsi mpuzamahanga w’ururimi kavukire ari umunsi wo kwisuzuma no kwiyemeza.

Ati “Twibaza ngo ese Ikinyarwanda tugikoresha dute? Tukinoza ku rugero rungana iki? Uyu munsi uje usanga mu Rwanda hari ikibazo rusange mu mikoreshereze y’Ikinyarwanda, ariko usanze hari n’ingamba zo kubikemura, n’umuhate ugaragara mu Banyarwanda mu kubikemura.”

Minisitiri w’Urubyiruko n’Iterambere ry’Ubuhanzi, Dr. Jean Nepo Abdallah Utumatwishima, yashimiye abantu bafata umwanya bakigisha Ikinyarwanda babinyujije ku mbuga nkoranyambaga.

Ati “Hari abantu bo kuri X, bigisha Ikinyarwanda, umuntu yakosa bakamugira inama, muri twe twigiramo abantu b’ibifura badakunda gukosorwa, ariko nagira ngo nsabe abantu bigisha Ikinyarwanda ku mbuga nkoranyambaga, kudacika intege kuko kwigisha ni uguhozaho, hanyuma ibifura n’abadashaka kwiga burya aba yabibonye, aba yigiza nkana. Kuba umusirimu ntibisobanura kwibagirwa uwo uri we, ntibivuga gusiribanga umuco n’ururimi byawe.”
