The president of Rwanda, Paul Kagame has approved the retirement of 95 military generals and senior officers as well as 930 junior soldiers.

This move is coming against the backdrop of the recent coups in Niger Republic and Gabon.

The development was announced in a statement published on the Rwanda Defense Force’s official website on Wednesday.

Top on the list of retirees is General James Kabarebe, the country’s former Minister of Defence and Chief of Defense Staff.

Until his retirement, General Kabarebe served as the special advisor to the president on security.

Local media reports that some of those retired had attained the retirement age of 65 while others were indicted in some misconduct.

Prior to their retirement, the Rwandan president promoted several lieutenant colonels to the rank of colonels and brigade commanders.

Although the statement did not categorically state the reasons behind the retirement of over 600 military officers, the president had in previous weeks addressed opinion leaders on the need to keep the country united.

“Our history has been an example of how destructive division can be. We have also seen that it is our unity that has led to our country’s transformation. We have people who lost their family members, others who have family members who are perpetrators, everyone has suffered the consequences of division. The only solution to this is unity. We cannot accept to return to the destructive practice of division. That would be self destruction.” President Kagame said.

Your Candidate lost miserably in all the Muslim States because of his "Religious War" attitude

Nobody voted for those who declared War on them

Or do you think Ukrainians will vote for Putin?

It's coming...

Hehehe.

The fear of the unknown.

Just be a good leader and see your people defend you.

If injustice, election rigging, looting, and nepotism prevail,then revolution will eventually be the result.

Africa leaders should understand that times are changing fast,and it will no longer be business as usual.

Kagame should start planning a transition for vacating power.

Those who are hailing him would not be there when push comes to shove...

The Nigerian coup is loading.....

The junior officers can still plan coupe and displace any president that over stay or rigged himself in to the power.
