Rwanda Defence Force dismisses fake Kagame illness report

Rwanda's military leaders called a health report about President Paul Kagame completely false. The document spread across social media sites and claimed the 67-year-old leader was very sick. Military officials said they never wrote or released any such statement about the president's condition. The fake paper used the Rwanda Defence Force logo and told people to pray for Kagame. Investigators are working to find who created the false document.

Kagame has not appeared at public events since June 6 when he attended an African trade meeting. People have started asking questions about his health because he missed important ceremonies and security meetings. Social media users have shared rumors and concerns about the president's condition. Government workers say all departments continue operating normally. Officials maintain there is no reason for citizens to worry about the situation.

The fake statement shows how false information targets African leaders and government offices. Kagame has led Rwanda since 2000 and helped the country recover after the genocide. He remains an important figure for the nation's politics and security matters. The military warned people not to spread the false information about his health. Rwanda's government has not made any official announcement about why the president has been absent from recent events.
