On 18 June 2022, a public passenger bus was attacked in Nyamagabe District, Southern Province, Rwanda, killing two people.
The bus was driving on the road between Nyambage and Rusizi, crossing through the Nyungwe Forest,[1] in the Kitabi sector of Nyamagabe.[2] The perpetrators stormed the bus and killed the bus driver, then shot and killed a passenger, injuring six other passengers.[3] Rwandan authorities described the attackers as "armed thugs" and suspected the armed FLN wing of the rebel Rwanda Movement for Democratic Change (RMDC) of responsibility.[1][4] The FLN had previously carried out terrorist attacks in Rwanda in 2018 and 2019,[5] which together killed nine people.[1]
