President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame has approved the retirement of 95 Military Generals and senior officers as well as 930 junior soldiers.
This is coming barely 48 hours after the military coup that sacked President Ali Bongo Ondimba from power in Gabon.
The military in Gabon, on Wednesday, August 30, ousted Ali Bongo Ondimba from the presidency following the results of the 2023 Gabonese general election which the opposition disputed.
The coup in Gabon was the latest in a series of military coups that have seen democratically elected leaders removed from the seat of power in Niger Republic, Mali, Sudan, Burkina Faso, and Guinea-Bissau.
According to a statement published on the Rwanda Defense Force’s official website on Wednesday, President Paul Kagame approved the retirement of several RDF generals, including senior presidential advisor on security matters, James Kabarebe.
