dc.description.abstractThis article examined the politicisation of Rwandan military intelligence towards genocide and the post-genocide reforms for national security. The article, using secondary data and the relative deprivation theory and the custodian theory of military politics as its theoretical framework of analysis, found that the inter ethnic political power struggle between the Tutsis and Hutus equally politicised and polarised the Rwandan military intelligence towards ethnic affiliation, and weakened the quality and effectiveness of intelligence gathering to contain the genocide. While the Hutu-dominated domestic military intelligence promoted the genocide, the exiled Rwandan intelligence force, led by Paul Kagame, ended the genocide but perpetrated more persecution against the Hutus in Diaspora. Tremendous socio-economic improvements have been recorded in post genocide Rwanda, but objective reforms of the military intelligence towards all inclusive ethnic participation is far from being achieved, thus serving as a threat to inter-ethnic cohesion and national security. This article recommended that the Rwandan intelligence should be de-politicised to enhance national securityen_US
