Podcasts about Kinyarwanda

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.

« Uzangaye guhera ntuzangaye gutinda », à Kinyarwanda proverb (somehow) translating to « condemn me for not showing up, but don't condemn me for delaying ». So here I am

Kinyarwanda is a complex language, not only because of its structure but also due to its history and variation across borders. Spoken by at least 20 million people, it is the second-most widely spoken language in the Bantu family. Linguists Nico Nassenstein and John Doldo IV are interested in this language, which serves as a good illustration of how linguistic variation is connected to history, politics and identity.During the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, language was instrumentalized—a tendency that is being repeated in current conflicts in the Great Lakes Region as well. Language can be used as a tool of intimidation and Othering, and in these contexts linguistic discrimination and stigmatization of the Kinyarwanda language are recurrent, for instance in hate speech.But people also use the ways they speak to express their identity, e.g., fine-grained differences are emphasized to show exactly on which side of a border one lives. Some Congolese speakers of Kinyarwanda even tend not to speak their language in public in order not to have their Congolese citizenship or autochthony questioned.We also discuss the questions: Why is it so important to cooperate with colleagues from the regions where the research takes place? And how is it possible to grant access to scholars from the Global South in terms of publications in and about their own language(s)?Nico Nassenstein is a professor of African languages and linguistics and has spent two years in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, respectively, and works mainly on languages from East and Central Africa, especially Lingala, Swahili and Kinyarwanda/Kirundi.John Doldo IV is a Master's student in African Studies and has been involved in Kinyarwanda lexicographical work. He has visited Rwanda many times over the past 14 years and is a research partner in the project.The episode was recorded on April 12th, 2024.  Über uns und unsere Arbeit bleibt ihr auf unserer Website sowie bei Instagram, Threads und Mastodon auf dem Laufenden. Host: Friederike Brinker (Sonderforschungsbereich 1482 Humandifferenzierung)Producer: Marco Mazur (Zentrum für audiovisuelle Produktion)Studentische Hilfskraft: Tamara Vitzthum (Sonderforschungsbereich 1482 Humandifferenzierung)Der SFB 1482 Humandifferenzierung ist an der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität und dem Institut für Europäische Geschichte in Mainz angesiedelt.

CatholicMom editor Maria Morera Johnson and contributor Heidi Hess Saxton welcome Fr Fred Jenga, President of Holy Cross Family Ministries, to a new podcast on prayer. In this inaugural episode of CatholicMom Prayercast, co-hosts Maria Johnson and Heidi Saxton welcome the President of Holy Cross Family Ministries, Father Fred Jenga. Fr. Fred shares his love of the Blessed Mother, the joy of singing as a form of prayer, and how prayer sustained him during a difficult time. As a spin-off of Catholic Momcast, we'll be sharing prayer stories, such as Fr. Fred's, to encourage you in your prayer journey. And of course, we'll be praying with you, and for you. Father Jenga is a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross. The first Peyton Prayer Guild Chapters for children were formed under Father Jenga's leadership. He developed a program that brought children in schools and parishes together to learn the Rosary, pray for their families and learn about the life of Father Patrick Peyton. This program has grown and now thousands of children are participating. Father Jenga was born in Uganda, where he grew up on the banks of the River Nile and Lake Victoria, in the Ugandan district of Jinja. Father Jenga speaks several languages, including his ethnic language, Lusoga, as well as Luganda, Rutooro, Swahili, and Kinyarwanda. Links For the Show: Fr.

Once again, the decades long conflict in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, and its myriad of players in in the news once again. This time because of the UN Group of Experts Report that was leaked to media at the start of last week. The Report details the arming and financing of the FDLR by the DRC Government, M23 activity and makes allegations about Rwanda's involvement in the conflict. These allegations were rubbished by the Rwandan government in a statement that was released on Thursday. The M23 is just the latest manifestation of what is the historic tension between the Congolese state and the Kinyarwanda speaking people of North and South Kivu. What is this tension about? When did it start and will it ever end? How did Rwanda get roped into Congolese internal affairs?To answer these questions, I am joined by Vincent Karega, Ambassador-Designate of Rwanda to Belgium. Once Rwanda's ambassador to South Africa, his last diplomatic posting was to the DRC in 2019. His posting was cut short after a mere three years as relations between the two countries soured. Amb Karega stint in DRC's capital wasn't his first taste of Congo. In fact, he was born in 1963 in Walikale in North Kivu and left Zaire (as DRC was then know) for the first time as a 27-year-old as a naturalized Zairean citizen. If you want to share your thoughts on the topics I discuss use the hashtag #LongFormRw on Twitter and follow us on Twitter and Instagram on our handle @TheLongFormRwBe a part of the conversation.

The depiction of the continent of Africa on the big screen gets an Afrofuturist iteration thanks to Neptune Frost - the futuristic sci-fi musical from musician Saul Williams and director Anisia Uzeyman. Set in a near-future Burundi, it follows the story of Neptune, an intersex hacker and their journey to another realm. It's also a commentary on socialism, tackling issues such as sexuality, slavery, technology, information and power. Shot in Rwanda and featuring dialogue and songs that switch freely between Kinyarwanda, Kirundi, Swahili, French and English, the film;'s many layers will take you on Neptune's journey in a dizzying, colourful arc.For The British Blacklist, Afua Hagan sat down with William and Uzeyman to talk about building Neptune Frost's world, whether that world will expand and our film-making duo are rating right now.

Queensland Government has announced on Friday 17th December new restrictions will come into effect for all Queenslanders, there will be different restrictions for  Fully vaccinated people and those who are not fully vaccinated.

In questa puntata, Maura Gancitano e Andrea Colamedici raccontano Mailles, spettacolo andato in scena all'Auditorium Parco della Musica per la XXXVI edizione di Roma Europa Festival.Nel 2017 Dorothée Munyaneza presentava al REf il suo Unwanted: una sinfonia di parole, movimenti e canzoni attraverso le quali raccontare le storie di donne vittime di stupro in guerra. Oggi la regista originaria del Rwanda, di nazionalità britannica ma con base a Marsiglia, celebra la potenza e la forza femminile riunendo sulla scena sei donne fortemente impegnate e provenienti da differenti zone del mondo.Voci e storie di cantanti e danzatrici afro-discendenti si uniscono sul palco per costruire un unico coro, uno spazio in cui esorcizzare i ricordi e i torti subiti. Insieme all'artista visiva Stéphanie Coudert, Munyaneza intesse narrazioni, costumi e materiali, tradizioni e suoni tramutandoli in punti interrogativi di un'unica domanda che riguarda, ovunque nel mondo, la libertà femminile e quella del corpo. Mailles è una «narrazione universale composta dalle nostre storie intime mescolate (…) ricordi popolati da storie ancestrali, storie attuali. Celebrazioni nelle nostre diverse lingue, inglese, francese, tedesco, Portoghese, spagnolo, Isizulu, Kinyarwanda, Kreyòl. (…) La resilienza come arma di resistenza ci accompagna e costituisce la nostra forza, la nostra bellezza».

Our Africa Legal podcast series returns to Rwanda this week for a conversation with the Kigali International Financial Centre's new Chief Investment Officer, Ntoudi Mouyelo. Ntoudi's interview with Africa Legal's Tom Pearson is intended to shine a spotlight on the survey, “Realising and facilitating pan-African investment” that is currently underway and aimed at the global business community. To participate go to: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/KIFCReport2 By giving input into this survey, the Africa Legal community can assist in developing understanding around the state of capital flow into Africa and the hurdles in the way of future investment. The results will feed a second report on the opportunities for doing business in Africa and the advantages of channelling this through Rwanda, a burgeoning business and investment hub. (For an introduction to Rwanda and the Kigali International Financial Centre (KIFC), our first report is available here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rwanda-finance-ltd_kifc-groundbreaking-research-and-analysis-activity-6783377875656556544-aSK4 There is no better person to discuss the issues around African investment and Rwanda's part in making this happen than Ntoudi, a banking and finance executive. His career has taken him to Luxembourg and Singapore – both financial centres with a broad focus and which the KIFC is now working to emulate. There are different kinds of financial centres, Ntoudi explains, which focus on domestic, regional, global or offshore agendas. “What we are developing for Rwanda is a hybrid model – the financial centres that are closer to us are Luxembourg and Singapore. We want to ensure we answer to the domestic agenda but, at the same time, also to the needs of the continent. In that sense our model is unique.” What immediately puts Rwanda at an advantage in attracting business is that it is trilingual with French, English and Kinyarwanda as official languages and laws drafted in all three. It is this ease of communication which is enabling the country to turn its goal of becoming a financial centre for the whole continent into a reality. For the centre to achieve this means meeting three key requirements, Ntoudi says. 1) Compliance; “We must align ourselves with global standards.” 2) Transparency of the legal and regulatory framework; “It is key for investors and businesses to feel and perceive predictability and quality when they use the centre.” 3) Access to talent; “We need to have the relevant professionals to answer the needs of those who want to do business.” Ntoudi explains how the project was part of the Rwandan government's Vision 2050 which is to increase GDP, further the goals of the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement and to drive the continent-wide development agenda. It was Rwanda's future-focus, propelled by clear and forward-thinking leadership, Ntoudi says, that sparked his excitement in the KIFC project and drew him back to Africa. “I was convinced that this project of an African international financial centre that is in line with global standards is possible. Today I am proud and happy to see this achievement, that already after two years of development (is becoming a reality).” Link to Report 1: 'A Modern African.

There's been a steady focus on migrants arriving at the US-Mexico border. But refugees — less in the spotlight — have seen their chances of entry to the US grind to a halt, leaving them in unexpected limbo.Many refugees have already been vetted and approved for entry through official US and United Nations agencies, but President Joe Biden has yet to make an official commitment to rebuilding the US refugee program. Related: Plans for a refugee camp on Lesbos is too isolating, critics sayBasuze Madogo, who helps resettle refugees through World Relief, a nonprofit based in Memphis, Tennessee, has recently needed to inform families that relatives who they hoped to welcome at airports would not arrive as scheduled — at least not yet.Madogo even had to break the news to his own brother. He thought his wife, from Democratic Republic of Congo, would join him in Tennessee in March. “It left him very devastated. ... But I told him in a way to give him hope. That it wasn't an issue of his wife's case, it was more about waiting for the president to sign the deal.”Basuze  Madogo, World Relief“It left him very devastated,” said Madogo. “But I told him in a way to give him hope. That it wasn't an issue of his wife's case, it was more about waiting for the president to sign the deal.” Former President Donald Trump steadily cut the number of refugees allowed into the US, setting the admissions goal in his final fiscal year in office at 15,000 refugees — the lowest level since the signing of the Refugee Act in 1980, which established the US system. As a candidate, Joe Biden promised to restore the program immediately. In early February, he reiterated that promise in his first foreign policy speech, saying:“I'm approving an executive order to begin the hard work of restoring our refugee admissions program to help meet the unprecedented global need. It's going to take time to rebuild what has been so badly damaged, but that's precisely what we're going to do.”Biden proposed a new plan for refugee admissions in fiscal year 2021 that would increase the ceiling to 62,500 — with a promise to move that total to 125,000 for his first full fiscal year in office. Things looked so certain that more than 700 vetted and approved refugees were booked on recent flights to the US, in coordination with the State Department and refugee resettlement agencies. Yet, Biden has not signed the document, the presidential determination that puts such changes into effect. Without that signature, Trump's version of the US refugee program, with its restrictions, is left in place. Related: Fighting in Syria has subsided. But refugees in Lebanon still hesitate to return homeIn turn, booked flights have been canceled by the State Department. Trump's restrictions and limits remain in place and US officials have yet to explain why. Those working on behalf of refugees, along with families waiting for loved ones, are left frustrated. The State Department did not grant The World an interview, but a spokesperson pointed to the executive order issued by Biden and wrote that it “establishes a pathway to rebuild and expand the US Refugee Admissions Program that is commensurate with global need, with our values as a nation, and consistent with domestic law and international obligations, while ensuring the security and integrity of the program.” US officials have denied that the delay is linked to the increasing number of migrants at the US-Mexico border and resources dedicated to that challenge. Those critical of the delay emphasize that before Biden submitted his plan to Congress to raise the number of admitted refugees to the US, resettlement agencies reviewed it to ensure that resources and capacity were in place. “All of those boxes were checked,” said Nazarin Ash, vice president for global policy and advocacy with the International Rescue Committee, a nonprofit humanitarian aid group based in Washington, DC.“I wasn't concerned about either the capacity or the resources to receive refugees. This is an opportunity to affirm the US' bipartisan tradition of assisting the most vulnerable.”Nazarin Ash, vice president for global policy and advocacy, International Rescue Committee“I wasn't concerned about either the capacity or the resources to receive refugees. This is an opportunity to affirm the US' bipartisan tradition of assisting the most vulnerable.”Related: In Canada, Syrian refugee kids find belonging through hockeyAngie Plummer, executive director of Community Refugee and Immigration Services, a nonprofit in Columbus, Ohio, said that keeping refugee families in limbo is like “salt in the wound,” after years of delays and severe restrictions under the Trump administration.“If it is a political consideration, connected to the situation at the border, the important thing to keep in mind is real people who have already been suffering for so long are going to continue to suffer.”Angie Plummer, executive director, Community Refugee and Immigration Services, Colombus, Ohio“If it is a political consideration, connected to the situation at the border, the important thing to keep in mind is real people who have already been suffering for so long are going to continue to suffer.” Plummer's organization helps new refugees settle in the US. After Biden's February speech, her colleagues began the work of lining up jobs, apartments and furniture for newcomers they thought would be here by now. She believes the Biden administration wants to allow in more refugees.Related: From Sudan, Ethiopian refugees tell their stories“I have no doubt that they want to support the program. I'm hopeful there'll be some transparency and we'll find out soon,” she said.  But the delay also risks real complications. The refugee selection process involves extensive security and medical screenings, and one of the screenings that Madogo's sister-in-law underwent is now about to expire.That could mean starting a months-long process all over again. “My mom and the rest of the family was supposed to come."Kajene Etienne, 28, truck driver, Ohio“My mom and the rest of the family was supposed to come,” said Kajene Etienne, 28, a truck driver who lives in Columbus, Ohio. He spoke while hauling auto parts to Flint, Michigan, across state lines in a freight truck. He logged 450 miles before heading home.Related: Five years after migrant crisis, integration in Germany is succeeding  Kajene Etienne, 28, is a refugee who has resettled in Columbus, Ohio. Credit: Courtesy of Kajene Etienne In many ways, Etienne's life has been one on the move. He was born in DR Congo but, at age 3, his family fled civil war.After many years in a refugee camp in Rwanda, Etienne was allowed into the US in late 2013. His brother followed a few years later. His mom and siblings had been approved to enter, as well, but Donald Trump became president and decided that the US would take in far fewer refugees. He also banned many applicants from majority-Muslim and African countries.Etienne's family has since waited for the greenlight to enter the US from a crowded refugee camp in Rwanda, joining tens of thousands of other refugees worldwide also approved to enter the US. Etienne's mother, Mukobwajana Kandenzi, feels stranded in Rwanda, where she has spent more than seven years at the large Gihembe refugee camp.“I hoped to be in the US with my sons by now,” she said, speaking Kinyarwanda, a Bantu language, as her son translates during one of his regular calls home. He regularly spends $10 on a prepaid card that lets him speak with his mom for 35 minutes over her old flip phone.

Eitenne wires cash to her and his siblings for food, clothing and the basics.Many families at the camp where Kandenzi lives were expecting to go to the US soon.She wants to deliver a message to President Biden: “First of all, to thank him for the fact that he's willing to bring people in to change their lives. And to wish him a good life.”She also hopes that he signs off on the presidential determination soon, so that she can see her sons after years of being apart.

This is Derek Miller Speaking on Business. Zab Translation Solutions specializes in educational, IP/legal, IT, and manufacturing translations. Managing Director, Brian Chandler, is here to share the important work they've been doing in Utah. BRIAN CHANDLER We have seen a steep increase translations relevant to COVID-19, which are critical to get out to many different groups – from non-English speaking company employees to customers, parents and students. Last year we translated over 110 languages. It has been crucial to get accurate information to parents and students – not only to assist in furthering education, but also to avoid serious problems, misinformation, and fear among non-English speaking communities. Professional human translations are required, as Google Translate can result in mistranslations such as the Virginia Department of Health experienced when Google translated “the vaccine is not required” to “the vaccine is not necessary”. Zab translates for hundreds of school districts, schools, and educational companies and organizations around the world, including locally for the Canyons School District. Over the past several years, Utah has been very welcoming to refugees which has caused a large influx in non-English speakers, and Zab has been able to assist Canyons School District and other Utah schools with translations into nearly two dozen languages, including Dari, Swahili, and Kinyarwanda.

Located in the Gakenke region of Rwanda and founded in 2005, the Mbilima Washing Station is part of the well known Dekundekawa Musasa Cooperative and is the second washing station to be built by them, to support farmers who were further away from the Cooperative's first Washing Station at Ruli. Much of the success of Musasa Dukunde Kawa can be attributed to the transformational PEARL programme of which it was a part. The project switched the focus in the Rwandan coffee sector from an historic emphasis on quantity to one of quality, thus opening Rwanda up to the much more highly-valued specialty coffee market. The programme and its successor, SPREAD, have been invaluable in helping Rwanda's small-scale coffee farmers rebuild their production in the wake of the devastating 1994 genocide and the 1990s world coffee crash. ‘Musasa' means ‘a place to make a bed', and ‘Dukunde Kawa' means ‘let's love coffee' in Kinyarwanda; it is a reference to the power of coffee to improve the lives of those in rural communities. And that it certainly does! Farmers who work with Musasa Dukunde Kawa have been able to buy their own livestock, have access to long term credit without interest and many now have health insurance for the first time. The Cooperative has also built two schools and contributes 10% of its profits to the construction of new washing stations in other areas. Roughly 459 smallholders deliver coffee cherries to the Mbilima Washing Station, with about 80% of them being women and the Washing Station itself is mostly staffed by women. The level of care that Musasa Dukunde Kawa takes over the processing is impressive too. Cherries are hand-picked only when fully ripe and then delivered to the washing station on the day of harvest, they are then hand-sorted based on quality. The cherries are then pulped and dry-fermented before being washed with high-pressure water and then graded once again using flotation channels that sort the coffee by weight (the heaviest – or A1 – usually being the best). Next, the beans are moved onto the washing station's extensive drying tables for around 14 days (depending on the weather), where they are sorted again for defects, turned regularly, and protected from rain and the midday sun by covers until they reach around 11% humidity. This ensures both even drying and the removal of any damaged or ‘funny looking' beans. They then move to final dry-milling and hand-sorting at the cooperative's dry mill in Kigali. Lots are usually separated out by days. Upon delivery as cherry, the coffee receives a paper ‘ticket' that follows the lot through all its processing. This ticket bears the date of harvest and the grade (A1, A2, etc.) of the coffee. For instance, if a coffee lot is called ‘Lot 1-06/04 -A1', this means it was the first lot processed on 4th April and the grade is A1. This simple but effective practice is a crucial tool in controlling quality and ensuring the traceability of lots. With a lovely balance of sweet and bright, this coffee brings juicy clementines backed up by silky butterscotch and milk chocolate. Finishing with sweet lemon, that citrus hit keeps going with a lingering lime.

Located in the Gakenke region of Rwanda and founded in 2005, the Mbilima Washing Station is part of the well known Dekundekawa Musasa Cooperative and is the second washing station to be built by them, to support farmers who were further away from the Cooperative’s first Washing Station at Ruli. Much of the success of Musasa Dukunde Kawa can be attributed to the transformational PEARL programme of which it was a part. The project switched the focus in the Rwandan coffee sector from an historic emphasis on quantity to one of quality, thus opening Rwanda up to the much more highly-valued specialty coffee market. The programme and its successor, SPREAD, have been invaluable in helping Rwanda’s small-scale coffee farmers rebuild their production in the wake of the devastating 1994 genocide and the 1990s world coffee crash. ‘Musasa’ means ‘a place to make a bed’, and ‘Dukunde Kawa’ means ‘let’s love coffee’ in Kinyarwanda; it is a reference to the power of coffee to improve the lives of those in rural communities. And that it certainly does! Farmers who work with Musasa Dukunde Kawa have been able to buy their own livestock, have access to long term credit without interest and many now have health insurance for the first time. The Cooperative has also built two schools and contributes 10% of its profits to the construction of new washing stations in other areas.

Teta Diana Singer-Songwriter | Rwanda Born in Kenya and raised in Uganda before returning to Rwanda after the '94 genocide, Teta Diana composed her first song at age 11 – a love song for her late father Frazier Birangwa, a Rwandan poet, playwright and professor of literature. She launched her professional music career in 2012 when was selected to represent Rwanda in a leading East African music competition in Kenya. The following year, she joined the acclaimed Rwandan traditional band Gakondo Group as the group's first and only female artist. While performing traditional songs at numerous local, national and regional events through Gakondo Group, she simultaneously developed a solo career, eventually attempting to merge the two worlds of Afro-pop and traditional music. During her solo career, Teta has written and recorded Afro-pop songs that blend her native Kinyarwanda with English, French and Swahili, and has quickly emerged as an artist with mainstream influence in her native country, and was selected as one of ten musicians for an eight month national tour in 2014. Teta has since performed in the USA Sweden, Belgium, Holland, and Senegal. Teta is currently recording her first album, combining previous and new material. Through her music, Teta has brought attention to causes close to her heart, such as education – her song ‘Tanga agatego' about the importance of going to school continues to be one of the most played in Rwanda – and unity and reconciliation in the memory of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. In 2014 she performed her song ‘Ndaje' to the assembled world leaders at the 20th commemoration of the genocide, calling for unity, reconciliation and hope for the young generation. In 2015, the song earned her an award at the Africa Day celebrations in Stockholm, Sweden. Later the same year, she was awarded the Celebrating Young Rwandan Achievers Award by First Lady Jeannette Kagame, for using her talent to inspire fellow youth and promote traditional music throughout the country. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/luckman-nzeyimana/support
