Amaze gutura mu ishyamba rya Bigogwe, akajya atera u Bufumbira akanyagayo inka akazizana mu Rwanda.

Abafumbira bagakeka ko baterwa n'Abanyarwanda.

Bukeye Bushengero atuma kuri Mukobanya, amubaza impamvu ituma amuterera igihugu kandi ntacyo bapfa.

Mukobanya amuhakanira ko atari we umutera.

Noneho Abafumbira batangira kugenzura ubatera, bamenya ko ari Rugero.

Bushengero amaze kubimenya, atuma kuri Mukobanya, ati "Aho mu Rwanda hari umuntu w'umunyagasuzuguro wahanshikiye ariyuhiza atura mu ishyamba rya Bigogwe atanagukeje, none uzamubaririze, yitwa Rugero.

Umenya ari na we ujya agaruka akantera."

Abatsindiyingoma baragenda barasana n'Imparamba za Rugero.

Abatsindiyingoma baraneshwa; barakonja bagaruka amara masa babwira Mukobanya ko Rugero ari indahangarwa yabashobeye.

Mukobanya amaze kumva ayo magambo, noneho arushaho kurakara; ati "Nimwicecekere nzigirayo".

Bukeye yigirayo koko, ingabo ze zambikana n'iza Rugero, na none Imparamba ziba ibamba; Abanyarwanda bagaruka bumiwe!

Mukobanya abibonye yigira inama atuma kuri Bushengero, ati "Urantize umurindi dutere Rugero; umuturuke hirya muturuke hino tumukubire hagati, maze twikize amakungu!"

Intumwa zirashogoshera no kwa Bushengero, ziti "Mukobanya ngo mutize umurindi mwikize umwanzi Rugero; umuturuke hirya amuturuke hino mukureho umwanda".

Bushengero arishima kuko yibwiraga ko agiye kubona uburyo bwo kwihimura.

Ati "Nimugende mubwire Mukobanya duhane umugambi."

Intumwa zimaze gusohoza ubutumwa, Mukobanya yumvise ko Bushengero yemeye kumutiza umurindi, azisubizayo ikitaraganya ngo zimushimire kandi zimubaze n'umunsi yihitiyemo.

Ziragenda zisohoza ubutumwa, Bushengero aziha umugambi, umunsi ugeze ingabo zombi ziratera; zimwe zituruka inyuma y'ishyamba i Bufumbira, izindi zituruka imbere mu Rwanda; na none Imparamba zirakotana zijugiriza Abanyarwanda n'Abafumbira icyarimwe.
