Jacques Nziza

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Major General Jack Nziza is Inspector-General of the Rwanda Defence Force.[1] He has also served as Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Defence.

André Kissasse Ngandu [fr], founding member of the AFDL, the coalition that would bring down Mobutu Sese Seko as the President of Zaire in 1997, was assassinated on 6 January 1997. Disagreements within the AFDL leadership led to the killing. Nziza has been mentioned by a source close to Ngandu as the perpetrator of the assassination, ordered by AFDL Chairman Laurent-Désiré Kabila.[2]
