Rwanda deployed Formed Police Unit Three (RWAFPU3-3) of 180 Police officers on Monday, November 11, to replace RWAFPU3-2 in Bangassou under the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Central Africa Republic (MINUSCA).

The RWAFPU3-3 is commanded by Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Thomas Kayonga.

RWAFPU3-2 commanded by Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Methode Munyaneza, returned home later in the afternoon, after a successful one-year tour-of-duty.

Rwanda began deploying police officers under the MINUSCA mission in 2014.

Rwanda has four police units involved in this mission. These include RWAPSU and RWAFRU-1, both of which operate in the capital, Bangui, with each unit comprising 140 police officers.

The FPUs specialize in public order management, protection of civilians, delivery of humanitarian assistance, escort duties and protection of UN facilities.
