To this is added the special intervention brigade of the Rwandan defence forces in addition to presidential security. A new constitution was adopted in August 2023. Despite this adoption the country has been plunged into a new crisis. In July 2025 a peace agreement was signed between the government and the two major rebel factions. A situation that has not been more inclusive following the mistrust of some other rebel groups who boycotted the process of cantonment and disarming.
