@RNCongress Anyone who interacts with the Rwigyema family is considered an enemy of the state."
Robert Kabera knew the dangers of being related to RPF founder Fred Rwigema and speaking out against Kagame.
@RNCongress We demand a transparent, independent investigation from Ugandan authorities into the horrific murder of Sergeant Major Robert Kabera. Global organizations like the UNHCR and African Union cannot stay silent while refugee protections are routinely violated.
Exile did not keep him safe. Former RDF Sergeant Major and open Kagame critic Robert Kabera has been brutally murdered in Kamengo, Uganda. His death fits a terrifying 30-year pattern of transnational repression targeting Rwandan dissidents.
Sgt major Robert Kabera fled Rwanda because he feared for his life. In Uganda, he was building a home—a place where he hoped to find safety and rebuild his future.
Now Sergeant Major Robert Kabera is dead, brutally killed at the very place where he was building that future.
Known to many as Sergeant Robert, he was a soldier, a musician, and an outspoken critic of Kagame’s government. Years before his death, he publicly described threats and explained why he had sought refuge.
Today, his family is grieving, his voice is gone, and Rwandans in exile are confronting a terrifying question: where can we be safe?
His warnings must be examined. His killing must be thoroughly investigated. Those who carried it out—and anyone who ordered it—must face justice.
Robert deserved safety. His family deserves answers. His life deserves to be remembered.
Watch our full report on his life, his warnings, and the questions surrounding his killing.
Share his story. Keep his name alive.

Professor, legal doctrine is unequivocal: individual guilt must be adjudicated, not assumed. Documentation of crimes does not override the presumption of innocence for any individual. That safeguard is the cornerstone of justice.
We called the slaughter of Tutsi in 1994 genocide well before the first judicial determination. Was that wrong? War crimes committed by the @rpfinkotanyi have been thoroughly documented and undeniable.
