Ibi bikorwa byabaye intambwe ikomeye mu kugarura ituze mu duce twari twarazahajwe n’imirwano n’ubwoba bw’imyaka myinshi.
Uyu musirikare ni umwe mu batangije urugamba rwa Twirwaneho mu 2017, igihe uyu mutwe wafataga icyemezo cyo kwitabara no kurwanya imitwe ya Mai-Mai yasahuraga inka z’Abanyamulenge, igahungabanya ubuzima n’imibereho y’abaturage.
Kubera ubwitange n’ubuhanga yagaragaje ku rugamba, Twirwaneho yamugiriye icyizere cyihariye, bituma azamurwa mu ntera ahabwa ipeti rya Lieutenant Colonel. Ibi byashimangiye umwanya we nk’umwe mu bayobozi b’ingenzi b’uyu mutwe, uzwiho guhuza imbaraga za gisirikare n’imiyoborere ishingiye ku kubungabunga abaturage.

Ntabwo urugamba rwe rwagarukiye mu Rurambo gusa. Ku Ndondo, yagize uruhare rukomeye mu kugarura amahoro mu bice bitandukanye birimo Gahuna, Mitamba, Mugeti n’ahandi henshi. Aha ni ho ibikorwa bye byatumye abaturage bongera gusubira mu buzima busanzwe, nubwo byabanje kugorana.

Uretse kuba ari umusirikare uzwiho kurasa adahushya no gupanga urugamba neza, azwi kandi nk’umusore muremure, w’igikundiro, ufite impano idasanzwe mu kuririmba no guhimba indirimbo zo guhimbaza Imana—ikintu gituma bamwe bamubona nk’umuntu uhuza imbaraga z’urugamba n’iz’iyobokamana.
Mu maso ya benshi, Colonel “Cobra” agaragara nk’ishusho y’umusirikare wavutse mu mibabaro y’iwabo, akayigira imbarutso yo kurengera abe. Amateka ye akomeje kwandika igice gikomeye mu nkuru ndende y’umutekano mu misozi y’i Mulenge, aho amazina y’abagize uruhare mu kuyirinda atazibagirana byoroshye.
