Rwanda rebel spokesman pleads guilty to terrorism offences

Rebel official Callixte Nsabimana pleaded guilty in a Rwandan court on Thursday to charges of terrorism, murder and hostage-taking in part of a violent campaign to oust long-ruling President Paul Kagame.

Nsabimana, known by his alias Sankara, is spokesman for the Forces for National Liberation (FLN), which has carried out a number deadly attacks in Rwanda in recent years, including attacks on villages and buses.

FLN is the military arm of the Rwanda Movement for Democratic Change (MRCD) political party which opposes Kagame.
