  Rwanda Deploys 280 Peacekeepers In Central Africa Republic
  On Tuesday afternoon, two Rwanda Police contingents comprised of 280 officers departed for a one year peacekeeping mission in Central African Republic.
  Shortly before they boarded a RwandAir Airbus plane, they were saluted off by CP Denis Basabose.
  The contingents led by ACP Safari Uwimana and SSP Antoine Munyampundu will be based in Bangui and Kaga Bandora, respectively.
  They have the mandate of protecting internally displaced persons, protection of UN personnel, security of key installations and humanitarian assistance.
  Prior to their departure, they were briefed by IGP Dan Munyuza who urged them to maintain Rwanda Police values and to aim for service excellence and maximum execution of their peacekeeping mandate.
  Rwanda started its peacekeeping operations in CAR in 2014. Since then, 15 contingents have been deployed on a rotational basis.
