Rwandan President Paul Kagame’s former bodyguard has been assassinated by gunmen in Cape Town, South Africa, as it continues to appear that the Kigali regime won’t rest until those who do not agree with their leader are totally eliminated.

Mr Camir Nkuruziza has been a critic of President Kagame, accusing him of intolerance to dissenting views, but the Kigali regime will likely celebrate another successful mission after eliminating one more critic.

Nkuruziza is the second-high profile person to be killed in South Africa after the killing of former intelligence boss Col. Patrick Karegeya in 2014.

Former Rwandan army chief General Kayumba Nyamwasa has also survived four attempts on his life.

Camir Nkirunziza is a brother of Sergeant Innocent Karisa who is in prison in Rwanda after he was suspected of being a member of Rwanda National Congress, an opposition outfit.

Last April, a South African magistrate said the identities of four suspects in the murder of former Rwandan intelligence chief Patrick Karegeya were known and police said they were “directly linked” to Rwanda’s government.
