Gashegu, 88, a Ugandan of Rwandan origin succumbed to heart failure at Nakasero Hospital in Kampala .<\/p>\n
Tarsis Karugarama, the Rwandan Minister for Justice said the country had lost an important person who was part of the nucleus that formed the Rwanda Patriotic Army (RPA), a Tutsi-led rebel group that fought to liberate Rwanda in the 1990s. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe was a committed person who devoted not only his time in the RPA struggle but also contributed ideas and financial support,\u201d Karugarama said. <\/p>\n
Joan Gakwenzire, President Yoweri Museveni\u2019s senior presidential adviser on poverty, said: \u201cDuring the bush war, his home became a refuge for Museveni\u2019s supporters.\u201d <\/p>\n
At the time of his death, he had headed and taught in over 10 schools and institutions of higher learning in Uganda, including Mengo SS, Bishop SS Mukono, Kitunga High School, Buwalasi Teachers College and Namutumba Teacher\u2019s College. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
