Itorero na Leta ku Rugamba

Itorero na Leta ku Rugamba
y’uko Impinduramatwara itangira, intebe ya cyami yari yicaweho n’umwami Ludoviko wa
15 (Louis XV), warangwaga no kutagira icyo yitaho kandi wabashwe n’irari ndetse no muri
ibyo bihe bibi. Kuba igihugu cyari kiyobowe n’agatsiko gato k’abantu basayishije mu bibi
kandi b’abagome, hakabaho na rubanda rugufi rwashegeshwe n’ubukene n’ubujiji, Leta ikaba
yari ifite ibibazo by’ubukungu ndetse n’abaturage bakaba bari bararakaye cyane, ntabwo
byasabaga amaso ya gihanuzi ngo umuntu abone akaga gakomeye kendaga kubaho. Ku
miburo abajyanama be bamuhaga, umwami yari afite akamenyero ko gusubiza ati:
“Mugerageze gutuma ibintu bikomeza kugenda neza igihe cyose nkiriho; ubwo nzaba maze
gutanga, bizabe uko bishatse.” Kwinginga umwami bamubwira ko ivugurura rikenewe
byabaye iby’ubusa. Yabonaga ibibi byugarije ingoma ye ariko nta butwari n’imbaraga yari
afite byo kubirwanya. Amakuba yari ategereje kugwirira Ubufaransa yagaragariraga mu
gisubizo cy’Umwami cyerekanaga ko ntacyo yitayeho kandi yikanyiza agira ati: ” Ishyano
rizagwa nyuma yanjye!”
Ku bwo gukoresha ishyari ry’abami ndetse n’amatsinda yabaga ari ku butegetsi, Roma
yari yarabateye kugumisha abaturage mu buretwa. Yari izi neza ko ibyo bizatuma Leta icika
intege, kandi igakoresha ubwo buryo igambiriye kugumisha abategetsi na rubanda mu
buretwa bwayo. Muri politiki yayo yo kureba kure, Roma yabonaga ko kugira ngo ishyire
abantu mu bubata neza, iminyururu yagombaga kushyirwa mu mitima y’abantu; kandi ko
uburyo bwiringiwe bwo gutuma badacika ubwo bubata ari ukubima umudendezo.
Guhenebera mu mico-mbonera ni byo byabaye ingaruka ikomeye cyane iruta incuro igihumbi
umubabaro wo ku mubiri watejwe n’iyo politiki. Abantu bari barambuwe Bibiliya, maze
bashorwa mu nyigisho z’imyizerere idafashije no kwikunda. Bazimangataniye mu bujiji, mu
migenzo idafite ishingiro, birundurira mu ngeso mbi, ku buryo kwitegeka byari
bitakibashobokera.
Ariko ingaruka z’ibyo byose zari zitandukanye cyane n’icyo Roma yari yaragambiriye.
Aho gushobora kugumisha abantu benshi mu kumvira amahame yayo mu buryo
bw’ubuhumyi, umurimo wayo wabateye kuba abahakanamana n’abaharanira impinduka.
Amahame n’inyigisho bya Roma barabisuzuguye babifata ko ari ibinyoma by’abapadiri.
Babonaga ko abayobozi b’idini ari ishyaka ribereyeho kubakandamiza. Imana yonyine bari
bazi ni iy’i Roma kandi inyigisho za Roma ni zo zari idini yabo imwe rukumbi. Babonaga ko
umururumba wa Roma n’ubugome bwayo ari byo mbuto Bibiliya yera bityo bakumva
batayikeneye.
Roma yari yarerekanye imico y’Imana mu buryo butari bwo kandi yari yaragoretse
amategeko yayo bityo abantu banga Bibiliya n’Uwayandikishije. Roma yari yarategetse
abantu kwizera inyigisho zayo mu buhumyi kandi yishingikirije ku Byanditswe. Ibyo
byatumye Voltaire n’abo bari bafatanyije bangira hamwe ijambo ry’Imana maze
bakwirakwiza ahantu hose inyigisho z’uburozi zihakana Imana. Roma yari yararibatiye
abaturage munsi y’ubutwaye bwayo bukomeye, noneho imbaga y’abantu basuzuguwe batyo
kandi bagiriwe nabi, biganzuye igitugu cyayo nta rutangira na mba bafite. Barakajwe nuko
