Rwandan Defence Forces
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rwandan Defence Forces (RDF, in French Forces rwandaises de défense), is made up mainly by former Rwanda Patriotic Army(RPA) fighters, is the national army of Rwanda.
After the successful conquest of the country, the RPF decided to split the RPF into a political division (which retained the RPF name) and a military division, which was to serve as the official army of the Rwandan state in two distinct and independent institutions.
Many soldiers from the former Rwandan Armed Forces (FAR), the national army under the previous regime, have been incorporated into the RDF since 1994.
