Agathon Rwasa is a Burundian politician and the leader of the National Liberation Forces (Forces pour la Libération Nationale, FNL). He was a Hutu militia leader during the Burundi Civil War.
Rwasa was reported to be a Born-again Christian.
The FNL has also been accused of using hundreds of child soldiers, and for killing and maiming children.
In September 2006 the FNL signed a peace deal with the government.
In June 2010, Rwasa went into hiding, claiming he was facing arrest for allegedly destabilising the country following district elections. However, Burundi’s attorney general stated that there is no warrant out for Rwasa.
