Ian Kagame

military officer Rwanda

Ian Kagame, 29, is the third-born son of Rwandan President Paul Kagame and a member of the elite presidential guard within the Rwanda Defence Force. A graduate of the prestigious Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the UK, Ian began his military journey in 2021 and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in November 2022. His role in the presidential guard places him at the heart of Rwanda's security operations, where he is tasked with protecting the country's top leadership, including his father. His enlistment has drawn comparisons to other political heirs in the region, and while speculation about his future role in Rwanda's military and politics continues, Ian remains focused on his duties.
