KAMPALA: Robert Kabera, a former Rwandan army sergeant major and outspoken critic of President Paul Kagame, was found beheaded in Uganda, where he had sought asylum.

Kabera, known for his popular YouTube channel and music career, was discovered on Tuesday, raising concerns about the safety of exiled dissidents.

Authorities in Uganda confirmed the discovery of Kabera’s body, which has sparked outrage among human rights advocates.

Kabera had fled Rwanda due to fears of persecution for his vocal opposition to the Rwandan government. His death is seen as a chilling reminder of the risks faced by those who challenge authoritarian regimes.

This incident highlights the precarious situation for political dissidents in the region, particularly those from Rwanda, where the government has been accused of silencing critics through intimidation and violence.

The international community is urged to take a stand against such acts to protect human rights and freedom of expression.

In the wake of this tragedy, Ugandan authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Kabera’s death.

Activists are calling for increased protection for exiled Rwandans and a thorough inquiry to ensure accountability. The case is expected to draw attention at upcoming international human rights forums.
