Changes within the Rwandan military have been frequent in recent years. In February 2017, nearly 200 soldiers were dismissed for misconduct, and a similar number were discharged for the same reason in June 2023.
Around 200 Rwandan military personnel were fired by the country's President Paul Kagame.The dismissal, according to local media, is due to alleged embezzlement within the military apparatus.
Among the
officers dismissed are Martin Nzaramba, the former commander of the Nasho military training center (retired in 2023), and Etienne Uwimana, director of a department at Kanombe Military Hospital.
According to the
Rwandan military spokesperson, quoted by local media, Martin Nzaramba was implicated in a corruption and embezzlement case involving funds designated for soldier welfare. Etienne Uwimana was alleged to have violated the army's ethical principles.
The wave of layoffs also affected about twenty other officers and nearly 200 military personnel of different ranks, the statement said.
