Twibukiranye ko kandi ko umwami yagiraga ububasha bw’ikirenga mu gihugu cye. Yaricaga agakiza, akagaba akanyaga. Muri make ubuzima bw’abaturage b’igihugu cyose bwabaga buri mu maboko ye. Ikintu cyose cyabaga ari icy’umwami, inka zari iz’umwami, ubutaka bwabaga ari ubw’umwami, abagore babaga ari ab’umwami, abana babaga ari ab’umwami n’ibindi. Iteka yabaga yaciye ryabaga ari ihame ntakuka, rikubahirizwa kuva kubabyeyi kugeza kubana, abuzukuru, abuzukuruza n’ubuvivi bakabitozwa.
