Gervais Ndirakobuca (born 1970) is a Burundian politician, former police officer and rebel commander serving as the Prime Minister of Burundi since 7 September 2022.
He is known for his violent crackdown of the 2015 civil protest in Burundi[1] and was under United States and European Union sanctions for human rights violations when President Évariste Ndayishimiye appointed him security minister.
[1] As police commissioner, he deployed excessive force to quell the 2015 civil protests that followed the amendment of the constitution which gave President Pierre Nkurunziza the legal right to run for a third term.
International Criminal Court opened an investigation against government officials involved in the crackdown including Ndirakobuca.
Despite this, Ndayishimiye appointed him to a powerful position of Minister of Interior in June 2020, making Ndirakobuca the most internationally sanctioned member of Burundi national government cabinet.
