A former Rwandan army sergeant major and outspoken critic of President Paul Kagame, Robert Kabera, was found beheaded on the outskirts of Kampala, Uganda, authorities said.

Kabera, who had served in the Rwandan military before becoming a vocal critic of the Rwandan government, was discovered in a state of dismemberment by local police near the capital city of Kampala.

Details about the circumstances surrounding the death remain limited, and the Ugandan police have not yet released a statement on the investigation or identified any suspects.

The incident has drawn attention from international observers, who note that it follows a pattern of violent incidents involving former Rwandan military personnel abroad.

Rwanda is led by President Paul Kagame, who has faced criticism from various opposition figures, including Kabera, for his administration’s policies and human rights record.
