Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame has appointed a new Foreign Affairs Minister, to replace Louise Mushikiwabo, in a mini cabinet reshuffle that also included a new Defence minister.
Following Mushikiwabo’s election as secretary-general of the International Organisation of La Francophonie (OIF) last week, a replacement foreign affairs minister was expected.
President Kagame named Richard Sezibera, a former secretary general of the East African Community regional bloc, as the new foreign minister.
54-year-old Sezibera also previously served as health minister.
