In this special on-the-ground episode of The Long Form Podcast, I travel to Goma, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, to speak with Manzi Willy Ngarambe, the newly appointed Vice Governor of North Kivu Province. Just 100 days into his leadership under the AFC/M23 administration, we discuss his unexpected rise to power, his childhood escape from conflict, and his vision to rebuild a region long defined by violence and displacement.We unpack the deep-rooted issues behind the decades-long war in eastern Congo, the marginalization of Kinyarwanda-speaking Congolese, and the prospects for returning refugees, lasting peace, and justice in the DRC. Can the AFC/M23 bring real stability to the region? Is being a Congolese Tutsi still a death sentence? This episode dives deep into history, identity, and the fragile hope of a new beginning for Central Africa.#DRCongo #NorthKivu #ManziWilly #M23 #CongoCrisis #TheLongFormPodcast #AfricanPolitics #RefugeeReturn #PeaceInAfrica #Goma #Rwanda #TutsiInCongo #CongoleseHistory #YouthAndPoliticsListen to the Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya podcast on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/rw/podcast/the-long-form-with-sanny-ntayombya/id1669879621Listen to the Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7HkkUi4bUyIeYktQhWOljcFollow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on Twitter: https://x.com/TheLongFormRwFollow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelongformrw/Follow Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@longformrwFollow Sanny Ntayombya on Twitter: https://x.com/SannyNtayombya About Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya:The Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya is a weekly podcast intent on keeping you up to date with current affairs in Rwanda.
