President Paul Kagame, who is also the Rwanda Defence Force’s (RDF) Commander-in-Chief, on Monday promoted in ranks four senior military officers. 

According to a communique from the military, Brigadier Generals Vincent Nyakarundi, Willy Rwagasana and Ruki Karusisi were promoted to the rank of Major General. 

Nyakarundi is the head of defence intelligence while Rwagasana is the commandant of the Republican Guard. Karusisi is the Commandant of RDF Special Operations Force. They all retained their postings. 

Nyakarundi, who was Rwanda’s first-ever military attaché to the United Nations (UN) in New York back in 2009, was promoted to Brig General in January 2018. The January 2018 promotion also saw Rwagasana elevated to Brigadier General.

Karusisi, a former Head of Operations in the Republican Guard, was promoted to Brigadier General in July, 2020. In other promotions, Colonel Ronald Rwivanga, the Spokesperson of the Rwanda Defence Force, was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General. Rwivanga had been promoted to rank of colonel on June 18, 2021.
