037-Rutatina.pngRwanda President Paul Kagame has reshuffled his top intelligence chiefs. The Scotland Yard recently warned that his life was in danger. Below are the changes. Dr Emmanuel Ndahiro who has been the powerful Sec General of National Security Services has been sacked and asked to report to Ministry of Defence for redeployment. He was replaced by Maj Gen Kalenzi Kalaki.


Col Dan Munyuza who has been the Director of military intelligence is the new Director of external security replacing Col Gatete Karuranga.

The new Director of military intelligence is Brig Richard Rutatina who has been advisor to President on Security matters.

Rutatina has been replaced by Capt. Patrick Kaluretwa who has been heading the security of the first daughter.

The head of the powerful Republican guard Col Tom Byabagambi has also been sent to Ministry of defence to head the anti terrorism desk.

The reshuffle happened shortly after 21 people had been injured in a grenade blast in Rwanda’s south-western town of Kamembe.

It exploded in a business area of the town in the early hours of Tuesday evening. No-one has been arrested in connection with the attack near the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Police have blamed many previous attacks on rebels from the Hutu ethnic group involved in the 1994 genocide that killed about 800,000 people. There have been about seven blasts in Rwanda since last year. Most of them have taken place in Kigali. More than 30 people are on trial for the explosions, blamed on the FDLR rebel group based in DR Congo.

TARGETING OPPOSITION’


The government says The Opposition is waging an organised campaign to destabilise Rwanda and has vowed to pursue its commanders. But it is too early to link the latest attack with previous ones, our reporter says. Human rights campaigners say the Rwandan government has failed to pursue genuine reconciliation since the end of the genocide and has targeted the opposition.

A team of Commonwealth observers in Rwanda said there had been no real competition in last year’s presidential election, after some candidates were barred from standing.

In January, four former top officials who had fallen out with Mr Kagame and gone into exile were sentenced in absentia to long jail terms for threatening state security and promoting ethnic divisions.
