An ex-Rwandan military officer and political dissident was found decapitated near Kampala, Uganda, over the weekend, according to a statement from Ugandan police on Monday, October 19.
The victim, Robert Kabera, was a former sergeant-major in the Rwandan military and a well-known singer in the Army Jazz Band, the musical troupe of the Rwandan Defense Forces. He had been living in exile in Uganda for several years.
Ugandan authorities confirmed Kabera's death but have not yet identified any suspects or established a motive for the killing. The gruesome nature of the crime has sparked widespread concern and speculation about the circumstances surrounding his death.
The discovery of Kabera's body has raised questions about the safety of political dissidents and refugees in Uganda. The Ugandan government has not yet commented on the potential implications of the killing for regional security or diplomatic relations.
