Former Rwandan soldier found decapitated near Kampala, Uganda

A former Rwandan soldier who criticised President Paul Kagame has been found dead near Kampala, Uganda. Robert Kabera, 50, was discovered decapitated in Luwala village on the weekend of 16-17 October. Local residents found his body, and police said his head had not been recovered. Kabera had left Rwanda after being accused of sexual assault, which he denied. He applied for asylum in Uganda, saying the Rwandan government was persecuting him. He ran a YouTube channel with 144,000 subscribers where he spoke out against Kagame. The Rwandan government has made no public comment on his death. Ugandan police are investigating. Other critics of Kagame have been killed abroad before, including a former intelligence chief who was strangled in South Africa in 2014.
