A police spokesperson stated on Monday that the decapitated body of former sergeant Robert Kabera, a former Rwandan soldier residing in Uganda, was discovered near the Ugandan capital, Kampala. Kabera was reportedly a strong critic of President Paul Kagame, who has governed Rwanda with an iron grip since assuming power following the 1994 genocide, an event that resulted in the loss of 800,000 lives, predominantly within the Tutsi community.
According to the South China Morning Post, Robert Kabera, who had left Rwanda several years prior, was not vocal during his military service but developed increasing opposition to Kagame. His YouTube channel, known as “Major Robert TV,” which reportedly has 144,000 subscribers, featured a song that praised Victoire Ingabire, an opposition figure described as a rare voice of dissent in Rwanda who has faced repeated imprisonment.
South China Morning Post notes that Rwandan authorities have faced accusations regarding the assassination of opponents of President Paul Kagame.
