Although this image was taken from the website of the US State Department, I strongly doubt that the image was produced by an employee of the US Government as part of his or her official duties -- otherwise, wouldn't it be higher resolution, and in color? I think this is a photograph taken from an official Rwandan identity document, and uploaded to state dot gov, and then to Commons, in an accidental example of license washing.

Okay, the 'in color' part doesn't apply here, but this photo was used in a WANTED poster. If the photo had been taken by USGOV employees, that would have meant that Ngirabatware was in custody instead of an international fugitive, and therefore the WANTED poster would have been unnecessary.
