警方发言人周一称，一名居住在乌干达的前卢旺达士兵，他在乌干达已成为对本国政府的直言批评者，在乌干达首都坎帕拉附近被发现头部被斩首。
A former Rwandan soldier living in Uganda, where he had become a vocal critic of his government back home, was found decapitated near the Ugandan capital, Kampala, a police spokesperson said on Monday.
卢旺达当局被指暗杀总统保罗·卡加梅的反对者。卡加梅自1994年大屠杀后执政，期间约80万人死亡，主要是图西族，他自上台以来以铁腕统治该国。
Rwandan authorities have been accused of assassinating opponents of President Paul Kagame, who has ruled the country with an iron fist since taking power in the aftermath of the 1994 genocide that claimed 800,000 lives, primarily among the Tutsi community.
罗伯特·卡贝拉是一名前中士，几年前逃离卢旺达，他在军队期间并不直言不讳，但对卡加梅的反对情绪日益加深。
Robert Kabera, a former sergeant who fled Rwanda several years ago, was not outspoken during his time in the military but grew increasingly opposed to Kagame.
他的 YouTube 频道“Major Robert TV”拥有14.4万订阅者，曾发布一首赞颂反对派人物维克托尔·英加比雷的歌曲。英加比雷是卢旺达少有的异议声音，曾多次被监禁。
His YouTube channel, “Major Robert TV”, which has 144,000 subscribers, included a song praising opposition figure Victoire Ingabire, a rare voice of dissent in Rwanda, who has been repeatedly imprisoned.
乌干达警方表示，他们正在调查“一名约50岁的成年男性被谋杀，头部被斩下，至今头颅仍未被找回”，发言人基图马·鲁索克周一对记者说，并补充说遗体已被亲属确认是罗伯特·卡贝拉。
Ugandan police said they were investigating the “murder of a male adult, (around 50), whose head was cut off, and up to now the head has not yet been recovered”, spokesman Kituuma Rusoke told reporters on Monday, adding that the body had been identified by relatives as Robert Kabera.
鲁索克说，遗体在坎帕拉附近的卢瓦拉村被发现，凶杀案可能发生在10月16日深夜或17日凌晨。卡贝拉并非首位在流亡中被暗杀的反对派人物。
The body was found in Luwala, a village near Kampala, and the murder is likely to have taken place late on October 16 or early 17, Rusoke said. Kabera is not the first opposition figure in exile to be assassinated.
2021年，前卢旺达军队中尉雷沃坎特·卡雷曼金戈在莫桑比克被枪杀，当时他被怀疑暗中支持反对派力量。
In 2021, a former lieutenant in the Rwandan army, Revocant Karemangingo, was shot dead in Mozambique, where he was suspected of secretly supporting an opposition force.
同年，直言不讳的反对者塞伊夫·班波里基在南非被枪击；而前卢旺达情报局局长转为批评者的帕特里克·卡雷格亚则于2014年在南非的酒店房间被勒死。
Outspoken opponent Seif Bamporiki was shot in South Africa the same year, while a former Rwandan intelligence chief-turned critic, Patrick Karegeya, was strangled in his South African hotel room in 2014.
另一名流亡者、前将军福斯廷·卡尤姆巴·尼亚姆瓦萨与卡雷格亚共同创立了卢旺达国民大会（RNC）反对党，他已多次幸免于暗杀未遂。
Another exile, former general Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa, who co-founded the Rwanda National Congress (RNC) opposition party with Karegeya, has survived several assassination attempts.
