Nyamvumba tipped for top UNAMID job

KIGALI - Rwanda Defence Forces (RDF) chief of logistics (J4)  General Patrick Nyamvumba has been proposed by the Rwandan government to head the AU-UN hybrid force in the war-torn Sudanese region of Darfur. In a move that elevates Rwanda’s position within the peacekeeping force, Nyamvumba’s name was proposed after Kigali was requested by the UN to provide a candidate to fill the position of overall military commander.
