Former Rwandan Soldier and Kagame Critic Found Beheaded in Uganda
Robert Kabera, a former Rwandan army sergeant major and critic of President Paul Kagame, was found beheaded in Uganda's Mpigi district near Kampala. Kabera fled Rwanda in 2020 amid sexual assault allegations, which he denied, and claimed political persecution. His body was discovered without his head, and Ugandan police are investigating the motive. Kabera's YouTube channel had over 140,000 followers, and his family has expressed concerns about their safety following his death. Rwanda's government has not publicly commented on the incident.
