Callixte Nsabimana "Sankara" - the captured spokesperson for the rebel group the National Liberation Front (FLN) - has admitted terrorism charges before a court in the country's capital, Kigali, on Thursday.
Mr Nsabimana was arrested last month in Comoros and was secretly handed to Rwandan authorities. He was charged with multiple criminal counts relating to terrorism - including starting an illegal militia and co-operating with foreign states in an attempt to topple the Rwandan government.
Mr Nsabimana had previously declared war on the Rwandan government and admitted FLN responsibility for last year's deadly attacks in south-western Rwanda.
