¶1. (SBU) During a December 16 cabinet meeting, the Government
of Rwanda (GOR) designated Jacques Kabare to serve as
Rwanda's next ambassador to France, less than a month after
the two countries announced their intention to reestablish
diplomatic ties. Since approximately 2005, Kabare has headed
the legal department at the African Development Bank (AfDB).
Before that, he served as personal assistant to Rwanda's
former finance minister, Donald Kaberuka, and was part the
campaign team that was behind Kaberuka's successful bid to
become AfDB chairman. Kabare was a member of the commission
that drafted Rwanda's 2003 constitution, and was also a legal
advisor in the finance ministry.
¶2. (SBU) Bio Note: Kabare was born and raised in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo and received a law degree
from the University of Kinshasa. He also completed a master's
degree in law in Belgium. He is a member of the ruling Rwanda
Patriotic Front party.
