Rwanda has named former Army General Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa, who is based in South Africa (SA), on its most-wanted list, accusing him of financing terrorism.
Rwandan authorities claim Nyamwasa, who has lived in exile for over a decade, has been involved in providing financial and logistical support to groups deemed a threat to the country’s security.
Nyamwasa, once a close ally of President Paul Kagame, left Rwanda in 2010 following a reported falling out with the government. He later co-founded the Rwanda National Congress, an opposition organisation operating abroad, which Kigali has accused of engaging in subversive activities.
Officials say placing Nyamwasa on the most-wanted list is part of broader efforts to combat terrorism financing and hold individuals accountable for actions targeting the state.
SA authorities have not issued a comment on the announcement.
