{UAH} Kigali moves to nip radicalisation and terrorist recruitment in the - News
Before President Paul Kagame broached the subject on March 26 in the Western Province district of Rubavu, there had been no media or public discourse on the issue.
Rubavu has the highest number of Muslims in Rwanda, and President Kagame while addressing opinion leaders made reference to last month's terrorist attacks in the Belgian capital Brussels, saying that Rwanda too was facing religious radicalisation, citing an example of a Rwandan soldier on a peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic who shot and killed four of his colleagues in August 2015.
"I don't know if people told you what happened exactly but I will tell you. This particular incident showed us how strong the issue of radicalisation is. One of our soldiers, a Muslim, turned his gun on colleagues who considered him a friend and relative," President Kagame said.
