What kind of people cut off a man's head and carry it away? Only sick people, Murders who need proof that he is truly dead, who want to hold it, show it, and report back that the job is done. To them It's a trophy taken for whoever ordered the killing. I have seen the video of Sergeant Major Robert Kabera's body being brought to @MulagoReferral Hospital by @PoliceUg, straight from where it was found. I won't post it. It is too graphic, and his family deserves to grieve without seeing it spread across social media. But I can tell you what it shows: his body, without his head. The head has still not been found. Look at who Robert was. He was a former Rwandan soldier who deserted, went into exile and spent years criticising Kagame openly. Rwandan propagandist media branded him a rebel trainer. In 2021, his local leaders begged @UNHCRuganda to protect him because, in their words, his country was still looking for him. In 2023, three men attacked him in Kampala and told him: "Even if you run to America, we will find you and kill you." One week before his death, a pro-government influencer @MadederiOG publicly named him on a list of critics Uganda should deal with. Put that together with Seth Sendashonga, Charles Ingabire, Patrick Karegeya and Révocat Karemangingo. @PaulKagame's regime has a motive, a history and a method, and Robert's killing fits all three. Everything points to Kigali. Ugandan government owes his family a real investigation, and @Refugees & the world owes Robert the refusal to look away.

In September 2021, Sergeant Major Robert Kabera sat down and wrote a letter asking for protection. Rwandan media and YouTube channels were accusing him of training rebels in Uganda - which was not true, and he knew what that kind of accusation means for a Rwandan exile. He told his local council in Kampala that he was not safe. Three days later, the LC1 chairman wrote back on his behalf. The village could not protect him, he said, because his country was still looking for him. He urgently asked @Refugees to step in. That was five years ago. Now Robert was found dead in Kamengo, his body mutilated. So we are asking @Refugees and @UNHCRuganda directly: Did that letter ever reach you? Did anyone assess the threat against him? Was he ever considered for resettlement somewhere safer? And what happened to his case between 2021 and the morning his body was found? He did everything a refugee is told to do. He reported the danger, he got it in writing, and he asked for help. We deserve to know what was done with it.
