Kabera had sought asylum in Uganda, citing political persecution, and his YouTube channel had 144,000 subscribers, with many videos criticizing President Paul Kagame.

Kagame critics killed abroad

The Rwandan government has not publicly commented, and several other critics of Kagame have been killed abroad.

Today, his family is grieving, his voice is gone, and Rwandans in exile are confronting a terrifying question: where can we be safe?
