Podcasts about Rwanda

When Doreen Orishaba helped build Africa's first electric car in 2011, skeptics dismissed it as a “toy for the Western world.” Now she's running dozens of electric buses across Kenya and Rwanda, moving thousands of passengers to work every day on zero-exhaust vehicles powered by near-silent engines. She breaks down what it actually takes to scale clean transport — and why skipping the gas station pit stop is closer than you may think.Learn more about our flagship conference happening this April at attend.ted.com/podcast Hosted on Acast.

You get a front-row seat to how Michael Grande turned hard-won tech chops and late-night studio hacks into real music-business wins. From escaping NAMM chaos and leveraging smart PR and management, to transforming a throwaway “stupid idea” into Card Chords—an Amazon-topping guitar tool born from a Cricut, Guitar Center testing, and sheer persistence—you see how necessity, experimentation, and saying yes the first time landed him in Jimi Hendrix's old bedroom at Electric Lady Studios, shredding in the lineage of Vai and Satriani, and inventing Tone Picks on the fly. Along the way, you're reminded that when you know you're right, you embrace it, protect your IP, and keep swinging big—whether that's launching music schools, eyeing Shark Tank with a bold offer, or pivoting your career from Wall Street CTO and Certified Ethical Hacker to full-on guitar innovator. Then you're pushed to rethink how you teach, lead, and build your own music brand. You learn why great schools and studios run on clear mission statements, strong unique selling propositions, and a coaching mindset that focuses on the student, not the curriculum—getting them hooked on the songs they actually want to play, then turning them toward what they need. You see how asking potential customers for their own answers, treating every audience like they matter, and showing up like a coach instead of a teacher all point to one core operating principle: you're never off-duty, because you Always Be Performing—ALWAYS. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 525 – Monday, March 16th, 2026 March 16th: Freedom of Information Day Guest co-host: Michael Grande from Card Chords and more 00:02:14 Getting out of NAMM 00:03:10 Have a good PR guy!

Africa's development story is often framed through crisis or pessimism. Joe Studwell offers a different perspective. In this conversation, Studwell explains why Africa's economic transformation is only beginning. Unlike the post-independence era, today's Africa has the population density, urban concentration, and educational foundation necessary for sustained development.Building on themes from How Asia Works, Studwell outlines a historical development pathway shared by successful economies: agricultural productivity, manufacturing expansion, and disciplined financial systems.The discussion explores:Why demographics and literacy change Africa's economic prospectsLessons from Mauritius, Rwanda, Ethiopia, and BotswanaThe role of cities in state capacity and revenue generationManufacturing as the engine of productivity growthEnergy costs, industrial policy, and governance challengesYouth political pressure, aid reduction, and Africa's future trajectoryStudwell argues that Africa is now “in the game,” but success will depend on policy choices, institutional capacity, and political leadership.

Have you ever felt like God was calling you into something… but everything inside you whispered, “Surely not me?” Today's conversation is for every woman who has ever felt unqualified, unsure, or overwhelmed by the weight of leadership — yet sensed that God was asking her to step forward anyway. In this episode, I'm joined by Rhonda Mincey, founder of Hope Springs Africa, whose story is a powerful reminder that obedience often comes before confidence. Rhonda shares how she was identified as a leader long before she felt ready, how imposter syndrome tried to keep her small, and how one courageous “yes” to God led to the founding of a nonprofit that began by helping one family and has since impacted villages and communities in Rwanda. Together, we talk about the moment every leader faces — the “date of decision” — when you choose whether to step forward in faith or stay small in fear. Rhonda also shares why your past experiences are never wasted and how God equips you uniquely for the people and purpose He has called you to serve. This is a conversation about obedience, courage, and trusting God even when the full picture isn't clear. In this episode, we discuss: Why confidence often comes after obedience, not before How imposter syndrome shows up when stepping into God's calling Recognising the transferable skills God has already placed inside you The “date of decision” every leader must make Trusting God when the path ahead feels uncertain If you've been sensing God nudging you forward but fear has been holding you back, this episode will encourage you to stop shrinking, start trusting, and take your next faithful step.

For decades, Africa has depended on imported medicines for diseases that disproportionately affect its people. But what happens when a country decides to manufacture its own? In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, economic strategist Michael Fairbanks explains the ambitious vision behind Akagera Medicines, a Rwanda-linked biotech company developing treatments for drug-resistant tuberculosis. Backed by Rwanda's national pension fund, this project raises difficult questions about pharmaceutical sovereignty, global health inequality, African industrial policy, and the risks of building a biotech industry from scratch. Can Africa truly compete with global pharmaceutical giants? And what happens if the bet fails? This conversation explores the intersection of science, capital, geopolitics, and the future of African healthcare innovation.Sponsors:Threat Informat - https://threatinformant.io/.                                                    Akagera Medicines- https://www.akageramedicines.com/ Join our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739 Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.com Produced by LF Media

We've all heard the phrase: “God loves you.” But what does that really mean?In this episode of Faith and Family Fellowship, we explore the message behind the book Jesus, Rwanda, and Gospel Love.This conversation challenges common assumptions about love and examines the difference between the love we experience naturally and the love revealed through the gospel. Through Scripture, reflection, and the historical backdrop of Rwanda, we discuss forgiveness, transformation, and what it means to love even those who have wronged us.This is not simply a conversation about emotion. It's a conversation about the kind of love that begins with God and changes everything.GET THE BOOK: https://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Rwanda-Gospel-Love-Moore/dp/1968442162

In his first interview after being elected chair of the new Global Anglican Council, Archbishop of Rwanda Laurent Mbanda has outlined how leadership will work in the emerging Global Anglican Communion The GAFCON Primates have dissolved the GAFCON Primates Council — the body that has guided the movement since 2008 — and in its place established a new Global Anglican Council to help lead what is the emerging Global Anglican Communion.The Primates have chosen to broaden authority. The new council will include primates alongside bishops, clergy, and lay leaders, all with full voting privileges. The structure signals a shift toward a more conciliar model of leadership, reflecting the conviction that the existing Instruments of Communion no longer adequately serve the majority of Anglicans worldwide. Rwandan Primate, Archbishop Laurent Mbunda has been elected to chair the Council, until the Athens Conference in 2028.In this Pastor's Heart special from Abuja, Dominic Steele speaks with:* The newly elected chairman of the Global Anglican Council, Rwanda's Archbishop Laurent Mbanda, * Archbishop of Sydney Kanishka Raffel, * Former Archbishop of North America and Former Chair of Gafcon, Bishop Foley Beach, * John Dunnett from the Church of England Evangelical Council.Mbunda, Raffel and Beach discuss the reasoning behind the new structures, what they mean for Anglican leadership globally, and how this moment emerged from nearly two decades of GAFCON's development.We expore why the Primates have chosen to share authority more widely, how the new council will function, and what the leaders involved hope it will mean for the future of Anglican mission, doctrine, and fellowship across the world. Plus The launch of the New Global Anglican Communion Fund with Anglican AID CEO Tim Swan. The Church Cohttp://www.thechurchco.com is a website and app platform built specifically for churches.  Anglican AidTo find out more about supporting Anglican Aid.

Pour la 33ᵉ saison consécutive, les monoplaces de la catégorie reine du sport automobile ne rouleront pas sur le continent africain. Une absence qui s'explique par de nombreux facteurs.  14 mars 1993, sur le circuit de Kyalami, en banlieue de Johannesburg : le Français Alain Prost, au volant de sa Williams, devance le Brésilien Ayrton Senna et s'impose au terme des 72 tours du Grand Prix d'Afrique du Sud. Depuis cette date, la Formule 1 ne s'est plus jamais rendue en Afrique, au grand dam de certains pilotes, à commencer par Lewis Hamilton. Ces dernières années, le septuple champion du monde n'a pas caché son envie d'aller en Afrique, multipliant les prises de parole et pressant même les organes de la Formule 1 d'accélérer les discussions. Ce jeudi 5 mars, il s'est à nouveau exprimé, assurant « ne pas vouloir quitter le sport sans avoir eu un Grand Prix » africain. Dans le paddock, ces dernières années, des rumeurs ont d'ailleurs entrouvert la possibilité d'un retour.   Plusieurs projets en Afrique du Sud, au Rwanda ou au Maroc Il y a d'abord eu le candidat naturel : l'Afrique du Sud et son circuit de Kyamali. « Ils parlent d'un retour de la F1 depuis 2017 », glisse Gaël Angleviel, journaliste spécialisé en sports mécaniques. « Le circuit n'est pas du tout à l'abandon, il accueille d'ailleurs d'autres compétitions. Warren Scheckter, le neveu du champion du monde sud-africain Jody Scheckter, s'était d'ailleurs positionné pour essayer de faire revenir la F1 à Kyalami. » Après 6 ans de négociations, en 2023, le projet est tombé à l'eau. « Le promoteur a été un petit peu trop gourmand aux yeux de la Fédération internationale de l'automobile (FIA) », raconte Gaël Angleviel.   Fin 2024, le Rwanda avait lui aussi des velléités d'accueillir la Formule 1. Son président Paul Kagame a même officiellement déposé la candidature de son pays, lorsqu'il a reçu le gala de la FIA et sa traditionnelle remise de prix. « Mais on en est vraiment au stade du balbutiement », explique Gaël Angleviel. « Les autorités ont défini l'emplacement, qui devrait être proche du futur aéroport de Bugesera. Mais on attend encore un promoteur et un projet financier solides. » Autre rumeur, celle d'un Grand Prix du Maroc. Le Royaume a déjà accueilli une épreuve du championnat, à Casablanca, en 1958. Cette fois, c'est à Tanger qu'un projet se dessine, porté par le Français Éric Boullier, un temps à la tête de l'écurie Lotus. Mais, là encore, aucune négociation concrète n'a été entamée.   À lire aussiLe Rwanda se porte officiellement candidat à l'organisation d'un Grand Prix de Formule 1 sur son sol « Jusqu'à 700 millions de dollars hors circuit. » Si les projets mettent autant de temps à se développer, c'est que les discussions avec la FIA sont très longues. « Il faut d'abord qu'un promoteur privé acquière un terrain », explique Marc Limacher, spécialiste de l'économie de la Formule 1 et auteur chaque année du Business Book GP. « Ensuite, ce promoteur entame des discussions avec les détenteurs de la F1, le groupe Liberty Media, et dépose un dossier, en mettant sur la table un dépôt qui tourne autour des 5 millions de dollars. » Vient ensuite la deuxième phase, celle des travaux, puisque pour accueillir les monoplaces les plus rapides du monde, un circuit doit être homologué « grade 1 » et répondre à des normes de sécurité très strictes. C'est seulement une fois cette homologation acquise que les négociations formelles peuvent débuter entre Liberty Media, la FIA et le promoteur du circuit. « Ça coûte extrêmement cher d'organiser tous les ans un Grand Prix de Formule 1 », explique Marc Limacher. « Ce sont des contrats entre 5 et 7 ans qui peuvent monter jusqu'à 700 millions de dollars hors circuit. » Lors des négociations, de nombreux paramètres entrent en compte : infrastructures, accessibilité, retombées économiques... Ainsi, les instances dirigeantes demandent une garantie de l'État systématique. « Tous les circuits du calendrier ont actuellement une garantie étatique en cas de défaillance », souligne Marc Limacher.   L'absence de cette garantie explique, en partie, que la Formule 1 ne se rende pas en Afrique. Mais c'est loin d'être le seul facteur. Il y a aussi la concurrence internationale féroce, avec « énormément de pays qui veulent accueillir la F1 », estime Gaël Angleviel. « Or le calendrier est déjà très chargé, avec déjà 24 dates à l'année. Et si on commence à empiler les courses tous les week-ends, on risque de lasser le public. » Les pays du Golfe et les États-Unis sont très convoités par Liberty Media. Face à eux, le continent africain pâtit d'une « instabilité économique », juge Marc Limacher. « La F1 est une entreprise cotée en Bourse. Et on a vu par exemple que lorsque les projets du continent africain ont été annoncés, ils n'ont pas eu un impact positif sur la Bourse de New York. »  Manque d'infrastructures et absence de pilote africain Autre facteur, l'absence d'infrastructures suffisantes pour accueillir les courses. « Il ne faut pas oublier qu'un Grand Prix, ce sont des centaines de milliers de personnes qui se déplacent. Il y a les spectateurs, les sponsors, les invités, sans oublier les équipes de F1 », énumère Marc Limacher. Autant de personnes sur quelques jours, cela implique d'avoir une industrie hôtelière robuste, des infrastructures routières adaptées, des transports en commun ainsi qu'un aéroport qui puisse accueillir un flux important de passagers et de fret. Même si les instances dirigeantes de la Formule 1 ont maintes fois répété leur envie de se rendre en Afrique, et malgré les prises de parole engagées de Lewis Hamilton, depuis 10 ans, les lignes n'ont pas vraiment bougé. D'autant qu'actuellement, il n'y a aucun pilote africain sur la grille. « Cela pourrait accélérer la volonté politique d'accueillir la F1 », assure Gaël Angleviel. « Mais si l'on regarde le cas de la France par exemple, il y a actuellement trois pilotes français sur la ligne de départ. Et aucun Grand Prix de France. » Lewis Hamilton participera-t-il à une course sur le continent africain avant de prendre sa retraite, comme il l'espère ? À 41 ans, le septuple champion du monde, déjà sur la grille depuis 20 ans, risque plutôt d'y assister en tant que spectateur. Car « les contrats actuels sont tous verrouillés », explique Marc Limacher. « Dans tous les cas, on ne verra pas de Grand Prix en Afrique avant au moins 2035. » À écouter dans Mondial sportsF1 : Lewis Hamilton, début de l'an 2 à Ferrari !

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Lavar Thomas. Motivational speaker, author, Peace Corps alumnus, leadership coach, and founder of Empower for Greatness. Lavar’s mission is to help people transform “from the inside out” so they can live with greater intention and purpose. The conversation explores Lavar’s upbringing in Brownsville, Brooklyn; his life-changing Peace Corps service in Rwanda; his understanding of faith, purpose, failure, and leadership; and how he built international development programs such as Leaders of the Free World, which exposes young Black men to global travel and leadership experiences. He discusses how stepping outside his comfort zone—from traveling abroad for the first time to navigating Rwanda after only knowing it through “Hotel Rwanda”—opened his worldview, deepened his empathy, and developed his leadership style. Lavar explains how a major project failure in the Peace Corps forced him to redefine success beyond titles, money, or recognition. This experience ultimately inspired his book, The Other Side of Letting Go. He also shares how he balances a federal government job with building his speaking and training company. The interview concludes with a powerful discussion on purpose, reinvention, leadership, and the role travel plays in expanding one’s mindset—especially for communities that are historically underrepresented in global spaces. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW 1. To highlight Lavar’s transformative journey from Brooklyn to global leadership. Rushion showcases how Lavar’s experiences shaped his philosophy and mission. 2. To educate listeners about purpose‑driven living and leadership Lavar explains why purpose—not money—is the “real currency,” and how aligning with purpose drives impact. 3. To inspire people to step beyond their comfort zones The interview emphasizes how discomfort and uncertainty can spark growth. 4. To reveal the value of international exposure for Black men Through Leaders of the Free World, Lavar advocates for global experiences that shift identity and opportunity. 5. To discuss resilience, reinvention, and personal development From project failures to the death of his father, Lavar shows how adversity can reshape purpose and leadership. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Faith requires action Lavar describes faith as taking steps without knowing the outcome—“believing in the future before it becomes reality.” 2. Growth happens outside the comfort zone Comfort zones feel safe, but they also create limits; stepping beyond them leads to self‑awareness and transformation. 3. The Peace Corps experience was life‑changing Rwanda taught him service, humility, language, cultural understanding, and the power of community trust. 4. Failure can be an important redirection When his library project collapsed, Lavar learned to detach from ego and redefine success through impact, not image. 5. Purpose is the real currency Operating in purpose helps you add value, understand your worth, and ultimately generate income more meaningfully. 6. Leadership includes being willing to pivot He shifted from a failed library project to impactful malnutrition programs, partnering with USAID to train families. 7. Personal setbacks can sharpen identity and mission His father’s death led him to pause graduate school, attend therapy, and rebuild himself—learning leadership through vulnerability. 8. Global exposure changes lives Leaders of the Free World gives young Black men access to international travel, allowing them to reimagine their potential. NOTABLE QUOTES On faith “Faith is taking steps without even knowing the outcome… believing in the future I see in my mind before I see it in reality.” On stepping outside comfort zones “Every time I step beyond that line, I grew… I realized new possibilities for myself.” On failure “Failure is life redirecting you.” (Recalling Oprah’s teaching). On purpose “Purpose is the real currency.” On redefining success “I had to learn how to redefine success for myself—not in the glamor of a project, but the impact I was having.” On reinvention after loss “I had to step away and rebuild LaVar… focusing on my family taught me so much about leadership.” On travel and identity “Something shifts in them when they return. They see their lives differently and their community differently.” #STRAW #BEST #SHMSSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode, we examine the future of the US-brokered peace deal after Washington sanctioned Rwanda's defence forces and senior military officials over the eastern DR Congo conflict. Kigali calls the move is unfair and accuses the DRC of failing to meet its own commitments. Meanwhile, Ethiopia has opened its first unmanned police station in Addis Ababa, letting citizens report crimes digitally. The pilot is part of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's push to modernize public services, but is raising questions about adoption and data protection.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producer: Keikantse Shumba, Daniel Dadzie and Ayuba Iliya Technical Producer: Jonathan Mwangi Senior Producers: Bella Twine and Blessing Aderogba Editors: Samuel Murunga and Maryam Abdalla

Les États-Unis agissent finalement contre l'armée rwandaise. En début de semaine, lundi 2 mars, Washington a annoncé prendre des sanctions contre les Forces de défense du Rwanda « pour leur soutien opérationnel direct au M23 ». Quatre officiers supérieurs sont aussi visés, dont le chef d'état-major général des armées. Le département d'État américain reproche au groupe rebelle d'avoir pris le contrôle de la ville d'Uvira, et cela malgré l'accord de paix signé à Washington quelques jours plus tôt. Pour parler de ces sanctions inédites, Thierry Vircoulon, chercheur associé à l'Institut français des relations internationales (IFRI), est notre Grand Invité Afrique. Il répond à Sidy Yansané. À lire aussiEst de la RDC: Washington annonce des sanctions contre l'armée rwandaise pour son soutien au M23

« Paul Kagamé, le président rwandais, n'a-t-il pas préjugé de ses forces en piquant au vif la crédibilité diplomatique de la superpuissance américaine ? », s'interroge Le Monde Afrique. « Trois mois après avoir foulé aux pieds un accord de paix qu'il venait à peine de signer avec la RDC, à Washington, sous les auspices enthousiastes de Donald Trump, le Rwanda vient de se faire sévèrement taper sur les doigts. Ainsi, avant-hier, le Trésor américain a placé sous sanctions l'armée rwandaise (les FDR) et quatre de ses plus hauts officiers supérieurs. » Alors, « ce qui est inédit dans ces nouvelles sanctions américaines, note Afrikarabia, c'est qu'elles concernent désormais l'armée rwandaise dans son ensemble. C'est toute l'institution militaire rwandaise qui est frappée pour son "soutien opérationnel aux rebelles" de l'AFC-M23. (…) Ces sanctions vont d'abord fortement complexifier toutes les relations commerciales en dollars pour le compte de l'armée rwandaise. Tout achat avec une entreprise d'armement américaine est désormais impossible. » Toutefois, tempère le site spécialisé sur la RDC, « Kigali devrait ne pas en être très impacté puisque le Rwanda a diversifié ses fournisseurs en armement grâce à la Chine, Israël ou la Turquie. » Mais « en sanctionnant l'armée rwandaise, les États-Unis débordent du cadre strictement militaire. Les Forces de défense du Rwanda sont intimement liées à l'économie rwandaise dans différents secteurs, comme le bâtiment, la logistique, l'agro-industrie ou les télécoms. (…) L'impact des sanctions américaines pourrait donc être davantage économique que militaire ». Realpolitik ? Certes, pointe Aujourd'hui au Burkina, il y ces sanctions économiques, mais « de là à imaginer que Washington lâche le Napoléon de 1994, c'est vite franchir le pas. » En fait, croit savoir le site burkinabé, il s'agit de « signifier à ce dernier : attention depuis trois décennies, les États-Unis vous ont adoubé, soutenu à bout de bras, ont toléré beaucoup de choses, mais dans le cas présent, les intérêts américains sont en jeu, et il ne faudrait pas se mettre en travers, via l'AFC-M23. Car, il ne faut pas se voiler la face, affirme encore Aujourd'hui, la guerre de rapines menée par l'AFC-M23 alimente de nombreux pays occidentaux. Et Kagamé demeure toujours un partenaire fiable des États-Unis et un verrou dans les Grands Lacs. Quitte donc à faire un grand écart, il est à parier que l'AFC-M23 pourrait mettre un bémol à ses actions, satisfaisant la RDC, qui devra en faire de même avec les FDLR. Et après, ces sanctions seront levées. Ainsi fonctionne la realpolitik. Ainsi fonctionne également Trump avec son MAGA. Et l'homme mince de Kigali le sait bien. » Réactions contrastées… En tout cas, relève Afrik.com, « à Kinshasa, le gouvernement congolais a salué sans tarder la décision américaine. Kinshasa qui évoque un "signal clair en faveur du respect de la souveraineté et de l'intégrité territoriale" de la RDC ». Côté rwandais, le New Times à Kigali reprend le discours officiel : « une diplomatie équilibrée, et non des sanctions, apportera la paix en RDC », affirme le quotidien rwandais. « Les sanctions, lorsqu'elles sont appliquées de manière sélective, donnent souvent l'illusion d'une action sans s'attaquer aux causes profondes du conflit. (…) Le régime de Kinshasa n'a pas respecté ses engagements pris dans le cadre de l'accord (de Washington) », dénonce encore le New Times. « Au lieu de mesures de confiance, des rapports vérifiables font état d'un renforcement militaire continu, d'un réarmement et du recrutement de mercenaires étrangers pour consolider ses forces de coalition. De telles actions ne témoignent guère d'un engagement en faveur de la paix ». D'autres sanctions en réserve… Enfin on revient au Monde Afrique qui estime que « les sanctions américaines ne mettront pas fin, mécaniquement, au conflit qui ravage l'est de la RDC depuis plus de trente ans. Mais l'investissement diplomatique et sécuritaire des États-Unis sera primordial pour un règlement durable alors qu'aucune issue militaire ne se dessine et que les initiatives de l'Union africaine ou des Européens ont échoué. "À condition que les efforts de l'administration américaine s'inscrivent dans la durée", glisse un diplomate européen. Car, pointe encore Le Monde Afrique, Washington n'a pas encore utilisé toute la gamme des sanctions dont elle dispose. Notamment celles qui toucheraient le cœur financier du système rwandais. Là où s'entremêlent étroitement les intérêts économiques, financiers et sécuritaires sous l'autorité du président Kagamé. »

En RD Congo, les sanctions américaines contre de hauts responsables militaires rwandais sont saluées par les autorités congolaises. Cela fait longtemps qu'ils réclamaient des sanctions ciblées contre Kigali. Ces sanctions font naître un espoir de paix dans l'est du pays où les combats se sont intensifiés ces dernières semaines. Léonard She Okitundu, député, ancien ministre congolais des Affaires étrangères, est notre invité.

En RDC, l'offensive de décembre dernier de l'AFC/M23, un groupe politico-militaire soutenu par le Rwanda, a forcé des dizaines de milliers de Congolais à fuir vers le Burundi voisin. La majorité des réfugiés d'Uvira a été regroupée à l'est du pays, sur le site de Busuma, où ils ne sont pas autorisés à sortir, pour des raisons de « sécurité », expliquent les autorités burundaises. Mais face à l'extrême précarité, certains n'hésitent pas à tenter de s'enfuir. Entre restrictions, aide humanitaire insuffisante et tentatives de retour vers leur pays, la vie ici se vit sous tension permanente.  De notre envoyée spéciale de retour de Busuma, Alice Zainabou frotte la terre rouge qui colle encore à ses pommes de terre. À 28 ans, réfugiée, elle est devenue vendeuse au marché de Busuma pour survivre. À l'aube, chaque jour, elle part à la lisière du site pour s'approvisionner. « Les cultivateurs burundais viennent là avec leur marchandise et il y a une corde qui nous sépare, qui délimite le site, décrit la jeune femme. Ils viennent jusqu'à la barrière, on prend ce qu'ils nous apportent, mais on ne dépasse pas. » Cette corde est gardée par des policiers, car à Busuma, les réfugiés n'ont pas l'autorisation de sortir. Kititwa Muzingwa, ancien directeur de radio au Congo, vit mal cet enfermement. « On est considérés comme des prisonniers. Vous ne pouvez pas sortir du camp. Beaucoup réclament un peu de va-et-vient, ça pourrait soulager. Nous ne pouvons pas vivre dans de telles conditions », témoigne-t-il en observant ses six enfants jouer devant leur tente de bric et de broc. Aujourd'hui, il est sans revenus et dépendant d'une aide insuffisante. À Ruyigi, l'administratrice Diane Niyibitanga justifie cette décision des autorités burundaises : « Cela ne veut pas dire que les réfugiés sont considérés comme des prisonniers. C'est plutôt pour leur protection, parce qu'on ne peut pas savoir ce qu'ils vont faire ou ce qui peut leur arriver s'ils sortent sans autorisation, argue-t-elle. Dans ce cas, c'est le Burundi qui sera comptable. » À lire aussiAu Burundi, les réfugiés traumatisés par les blessures invisibles de la guerre [1/4] « La vie ici est trop dure »  Pour Kititwa, rentrer en RDC est impossible : la guerre fait toujours rage dans les hauts plateaux d'où il vient. Mais dans le camp, beaucoup vivaient à Uvira et, depuis que l'AFC/M23 s'en est retiré, rester à Busuma dans la précarité peut sembler absurde. « La vie ici est trop dure, déplore Linda. Si on ne nous donne pas le minimum pour vivre, je préfère rentrer à Uvira, même si c'est risqué, et mourir là-bas plutôt que mourir de faim et de froid ici, et dormir à même le sol. »  Seul un accord entre le Burundi et la RDC pourrait permettre un rapatriement. En attendant, et depuis que la frontière a rouvert entre les deux pays, le HCR plaide pour un assouplissement. « S'il y a des personnes qui veulent partir, c'est leur droit, défend Simplice Kpandji, responsable local de l'UNHCR. C'est pour cela qu'on continue de négocier, pour que les personnes qui se sentent prêtes et qui n'ont pas besoin de notre appui pour partir chez elles, qu'elles puissent le faire. » En attendant, loin des enjeux diplomatiques mais pressés par l'urgence de trouver de quoi vivre, certains, comme Linda, tentent une évasion nocturne : « Oui, j'ai tenté de partir, on a fui tôt, un matin, à pied. Mais on a été rattrapés et ramenés ici ». Sans amélioration de son quotidien sur le site, elle prévient : elle tentera à nouveau de partir.

This month, we're re-airing one of our favorite and most listened to podcasts from November 2025. Enjoy... The country of Rwanda in east Africa has known tremendous suffering and loss from the Genocide of 1994, in which hundreds of thousands were killed. And even though a huge percentage of Rwandans identify as believers, many mix elements of their former pagan beliefs and practices with their new Christian faith. So, the need for the Gospel to heal and correct is desperately needed.Join host Michael Woolworth and his guest, Anton De Vreugd, as Anton recalls wonderful Christians he met on his recent trip to Rwanda. That includes 12-year-old Joyeuse, who loves to write and sing her own songs about the Lord. And 63-year-old Dalie, who lost her own dear husband and son in the Rwanda Genocide but was granted strength by God to forgive those who brought such tragedy to her life.Subscribe today and invite others to listen with you to this powerful podcast. Length: 24:54.

It is a war for control over some of the world's richest mineral reserves and the violence is heightened by long-standing ethnic and political tensions. In the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, government forces and local militia groups are fighting M23 rebels backed by neighboring Rwanda.This is one of the wars President Trump repeatedly claims to have ended. But though a U.S.-brokered peace deal was signed, the fighting hasn't stopped. We go behind the government front lines for a glimpse of the conflict.To manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Dans l'actualité sportive des derniers jours – Retour sur les qualifications aux quarts de finales de la Champions League ; la 4eme étape du tour cycliste du Rwanda et ; démission du directeur de l'Open d'Australie.

Les journalistes et experts de RFI répondent également à vos questions sur la réouverture de la frontière Uvira-Bujumbura, les sanctions chinoises contre des entreprises japonaises et l'affaire Epstein. RDC : que sait-on de la mort du porte-parole militaire de l'AFC/M23 ?  Le porte-parole militaire du groupe armé de l'AFC/M23 soutenu par le Rwanda, Willy Ngoma, ainsi que plusieurs autres membres de la rébellion, ont été tués dans une frappe de drones près de Rubaya, dans le territoire de Masisi, une province du Nord-Kivu. Que sait-on des circonstances de sa mort ? Cette attaque peut-elle fragiliser le cessez-le-feu ? Peut-on craindre des représailles de la part des rebelles soutenus par Kigali ?  Avec Patient Ligodi, journaliste au service Afrique de RFI.    RDC : comment expliquer la réouverture de la frontière Uvira-Bujumbura ?   Dans l'est de la République démocratique du Congo, la frontière entre Uvira et Bujumbura a rouvert après plusieurs semaines de fermeture à la suite de la prise de la ville congolaise par l'AFC/M23 soutenu par le Rwanda qui s'est retiré depuis. Comment expliquer cette réouverture alors que la menace du groupe rebelle tient toujours ? Cette réouverture va-t-elle s'accompagner d'un retour des réfugiés congolais se trouvant au Burundi ? Avec Adolphe Agenonga Chober, professeur à l'Université de Kisangani, spécialiste des mouvements armés dans l'est de la RDC.     Chine : pourquoi Pékin impose des sanctions au Japon ?  La Chine a sanctionné 40 entreprises et organismes japonais, accusés de contribuer à la remilitarisation du pays. Une décision qui s'inscrit dans un climat déjà très tendu entre les deux pays autour de Taïwan. Quel est le véritable objectif de Pékin en imposant ces sanctions ? En est-on arrivé à un point de non-retour dans les relations sino-japonaises ? Avec Clea Broadhurst, correspondante permanente de RFI à Pékin.    Affaire Epstein : bientôt classée comme « crime contre l'humanité » ?   La publication des « Epstein files » a révélé l'ampleur du réseau criminel sexuel de Jeffrey Epstein. Au point où des experts mandatés par les Nations unies estiment que cette affaire doit être requalifiée en « crime contre l'humanité ». Qu'est-ce qui justifie, selon ces experts, une telle qualification ? La CPI peut-elle se saisir de cette affaire ? Avec William Schabas, professeur de droit international à Middlesex University London au Royaume-Uni. 

« Les lignes de front se sont rallumées à l'aube, s'exclame Le Point Afrique. Depuis hier matin, les Forces armées de la République démocratique du Congo (FARDC), appuyées par les milices locales Wazalendo et soutenues par des drones, ont lancé des attaques simultanées sur plusieurs positions de l'AFC/M23 dans l'est du pays. Les combats les plus intenses se concentrent dans le territoire de Masisi, à proximité immédiate de Rubaya, site minier stratégique. Cette zone produit entre 15 % et 30 % du coltan mondial, minerai indispensable à l'industrie électronique. Pour le M23, l'enjeu est autant militaire qu'économique. (…) Cette nouvelle flambée, note encore Le Point Afrique, intervient au lendemain d'un événement majeur : la mort de Willy Ngoma, porte-parole militaire du M23, tué mardi près de Rubaya lors d'une frappe de drone attribuée aux FARDC. » Les drones : nouvelle arme fatale Le conflit est en train de prendre une nouvelle dimension avec justement l'utilisation de plus en plus massive de drones. En effet, explique Afrikarabia, site spécialisé sur la RDC, « depuis la résurgence du M23, fin 2021, le conflit s'est enlisé au sol pour l'armée congolaise, dont la faiblesse ne lui a jamais permis de reprendre le dessus sur les rebelles, ni de reprendre des localités significatives ». « En échec au sol, Kinshasa a (donc) décidé de déplacer les combats dans les airs, notamment avec l'usage de drones d'attaque. Le décès de Willy Ngoma montre que l'armée congolaise peut désormais mener des attaques ciblées, pointe Afrikarabia. Ses forces spéciales, formées et soutenues par les éléments israéliens des paramilitaires de l'Américain Erik Prince, qui sont déployés à Uvira, sont désormais capables de frapper n'importe où et en toutes circonstances. Les attaques de drones sur les rebelles permettent maintenant aux milices Wazalendos, en premières lignes au sol, de pouvoir gagner du terrain et déloger certaines positions rebelles. Ce qui est désormais le cas autour de Rubaya, de Minembwe et de Kavumu. » Le poids des États-Unis « La dynamique semble, fait inhabituel, évoluer en faveur des forces congolaises », renchérit Ledjely. Et les Américains y sans doute pour quelque chose… En effet, précise le site guinéen, « ces premiers revers enregistrés par la rébellion interviennent après l'accord signé à Washington entre Félix Tshisekedi, Paul Kagame et Donald Trump. Par ailleurs, à la suite du retrait rebelle d'Uvira, des éléments liés à la société paramilitaire fondée par Erik Prince, ex-patron de Blackwater, auraient été aperçus dans la région. Fait notable également, pointe Ledjely : la zone où Willy Ngoma a trouvé la mort se situerait à proximité de l'une des plus importantes mines de coltan du pays. Exploitée par la rébellion depuis qu'elle en a pris le contrôle en 2024, cette mine avait été pourtant intégrée au volet économique de l'accord de Washington. Et dès lors que des intérêts économiques majeurs entrent ouvertement en jeu, les États-Unis pourraient difficilement tolérer toute remise en cause de leurs positions stratégiques, relève encore le site guinéen. Dans ce nouveau contexte, la rébellion de l'AFC/M23 ainsi que ses parrains rwandais pourraient bien découvrir que l'équation militaire dans l'est congolais est en train de changer ». Offensive diplomatique Pendant ce temps, Félix Tshisekedi est à l'offensive sur le plan diplomatique. Le président congolais est en visite en France. Il a été reçu mercredi 25 février à l'Élysée par Emmanuel Macron. « La France a exprimé sa solidarité avec Kinshasa, relève Afrik.com, tout en appelant à une désescalade et à une solution durable conforme au droit international. Cette prise de position a lieu à un moment où la RDC multiplie les démarches diplomatiques pour internationaliser la question sécuritaire et obtenir des soutiens explicites sur la scène mondiale. Pour Kinshasa, chaque déclaration publique de soutien constitue un levier dans le rapport de force régional. Pour Paris, l'équation est plus délicate : préserver la stabilité des Grands Lacs sans rompre les équilibres diplomatiques avec Kigali ». Et dans le même temps, relève encore Afrik.com, un bras de fer diplomatique est en train de se jouer entre la RDC et le Rwanda :  « La RDC semble déterminée à arracher au Rwanda la tête de l'Organisation internationale de la francophonie (OIF). (…) La RDC qui envisage de présenter une candidature au secrétariat général de l'organisation. Cette ambition croise celle du Rwanda qui avait déjà annoncé la reconduction de la candidature de l'actuelle secrétaire générale, Louise Mushikiwabo, pour un troisième mandat ».

Last night’s State of the Union Address was, though indirectly, in many ways largely indicative of the ‘State of our Union’; irascible, beleaguered, gaslighted, schizophrenic.

Claim Rebuttal Source Rebuttal ‘$18 trillion’ in investments CNN’s Daniel Dale “…the White House’s own website said the figure for “major investment announcements” during this Trump term was “$9.7 trillion,” and even that is a major exaggeration; a detailed CNN review in [Oct 2025] found [WH counting trillions in] vague investment pledges, pledges that were about “bilateral trade” or “economic exchange” rather than investment in the US and vague statements that didn’t even rise to the level of pledges.” Low gas prices (2.30, 1.99, 1.85) CNN’s Daniel Dale According to AAA: only 2 states w/ avg < $2.50/gal; GasBuddy: 4:150k (.003%) gas stations w/ gas < $2/gal Inherited record inflation CNN’s Daniel Dale Dec, 2024 Y-O-Y inflation (CPI): 2.9% Inherited stagnant economy CNN’s Daniel Dale False (see details) Passed largest tax cuts (GBBB) in American history CNN’s Tami Luhby “It ranks seventh in terms of share of GDP since 1918, according to Chris Towner, policy director for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan watchdog group.” Biden allowed ‘11,888 murderers’ to enter US as migrants CNN’s Daniel Dale ““11,888” number is about non-citizens who entered the US not just under Biden but over the course of multiple decades, including during Trump’s own first administration.” Foreign countries are paying T47 tariffs CNN’s Daniel Dale “In an analysis released in February, officials at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York wrote, “We find that nearly 90 percent of the tariffs’ economic burden fell on U.S. firms and consumers.”…[CBO] wrote in a February report that “the net effect of tariffs is to raise U.S. consumer prices by the full portion of the cost of the tariffs borne domestically (95 percent)”…” Fraud in Minnesota CNN’s Daniel Dale “…Walz admin official said in December that they had “evidence of tens of millions of dollars in fraud to this point,” not $9[/18/19] billion…” US elections claims CNN’s Daniel Dale Disputed (see details) More Americans are working today than ever CNN’s Daniel Dale “The labor force participation rate, which measures the percentage of the population that is employed or actively looking for work, has been almost unchanged…” Ended eight wars CNN’s Daniel Dale Largely disputed (see details) Achieved no tax on Social Security CNN’s Tami Luhby Disputed, misleading (see details) Balancing the federal budget by ending fraud CNN’s Tami Luhby 2024 GAO estimate “found that [$233–521B] is lost to fraud annually. But the federal budget deficit came in at just under $1.8 trillion for the most recent fiscal year, which ended in September, according to the Treasury Department – more than triple the highest estimated fraud total.” #Contemporaneous Notes Duration: 01:47:43 (longest SOTU in history – breaking the modern record he set last year.)

What does heroin actually do to a human being — and why are so many young Africans falling into addiction? In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Steve Khald Maridadi a Rwandan filmmaker, opens up about heroin addiction, cocaine, laced marijuana, recovery, psych wards, and the system that failed him.

I get a lot of questions about how people actually get started in real estate and what the career really looks like day to day.So in this episode I sat down with Robert Crow and had him walk through his full story — how he ended up in Fort Collins, how he built his business from zero contacts, and why he approaches real estate as a service business instead of a sales job.If you've ever wondered what makes a good realtor different from an average one, this gives a pretty honest look behind the scenes.

Depuis 30 ans, l'ONG israélienne Save a Child's Heart (Sauvez le cœur d'un enfant) soigne les enfants atteints de problèmes cardiaques originaires de différents pays, notamment africains. Les équipes soignantes forment également des médecins qui deviendront spécialisés en chirurgie cardiaque pédiatrique. RFI s'est rendu à l'hôpital pour enfants Sylvan Adams du Wolfson Medical Center à Holon, près de Tel-Aviv. De notre envoyée spéciale à Holon, Katherine a les traits tirés. Assise au chevet de son fils, hospitalisé dans l'unité de soins intensifs pédiatriques, elle raconte à voix basse comment elle est arrivée de Bangui, la capitale de la Centrafrique, quelques jours plus tôt, avec le petit Ebenzer. « Les docteurs ont dit qu'il a la tétralogie de Fallot, une malformation cardiaque congénitale. Il a un an et deux mois. Il va mieux, ils ont sauvé la vie de mon fils », raconte-t-elle. Le docteur Muulu fait partie de l'équipe de soignants. Ce chirurgien zambien est arrivé en Israël grâce à une bourse d'études, il y a deux ans. « Certains enfants ont besoin d'une chirurgie cardiaque en urgence. Hier, nous avons opéré un nouveau-né de huit jours. Il faut ouvrir la poitrine, réparer le cœur. Si vous n'agissez pas, l'enfant meurt », explique-t-il. Le docteur Muulu complète sa formation en chirurgie cardiaque, enchaîne les gardes, l'apprentissage de l'hébreu, mais garde le sourire : « On soigne tout le monde ici. Des enfants israéliens, mais aussi africains, palestiniens. Peu importe la couleur, la religion, un enfant est un enfant et il doit être soigné. » Après l'opération, les enfants poursuivent leur convalescence dans une maison d'accueil gérée par l'ONG Save a Child's Heart, près de Tel-Aviv, où nous rencontrons Sara. « Je suis la maman de Manu. Nous venons du Rwanda. Cela fait pratiquement trois ans et demi que nous sommes ici. Nous avons passé beaucoup de temps à l'hôpital, aux soins intensifs, parce qu'il a subi plusieurs opérations. Nous sommes avec lui, nous combattons », affirme-t-elle. Pour aider les parents déracinés, des volontaires israéliens comme Laxi viennent distraire les enfants malades. « On fait des gâteaux, de la peinture, etc. Je suis volontaire ici depuis trois mois. Je viens trois fois par semaine et c'est très chouette », s'enthousiasme-t-elle. Dans la maison d'accueil, la cuisine est commune, et les plats rappellent le pays. Toutes les mamans s'entraident malgré la barrière de la langue. Pour Sara, ce sont des moments de joie : « C'est à toi de préparer ce que tu veux, selon votre culture. Il y a toujours cinq ou six mamans. Tu demandes le sel, l'autre te montre le sucre. C'est du fun. » Depuis le tournage du reportage, Ebenzer et Catherine sa maman ont quitté les soins intensifs. La convalescence du petit garçon se passe bien. À lire aussiSoudan du Sud: l'ONG Save the Children suspend à son tour ses activités dans l'est du pays

Africa Highlights and Travel Lessons: Egypt Challenges, Gorilla Trekking, Vic Falls, and Cape TownTyler hosts Non Rev Lounge in Austin with returning guest Melissa and her husband Jay, longtime friends who first met Tyler on a Southwest flight and later traveled together to Hawaii. They discuss Melissa and Jay's multi-week Africa trip planned around Jay's 50th birthday, including missing Tyler's family by a few hours in South Africa due to itinerary timing. The conversation covers a difficult, budget-style stop in Egypt (Cairo) with a non-English-speaking driver, getting lost en route to the pyramids, frequent requests for money from vendors and even a police officer, confusion around museum pickup logistics, being taken to an underwhelming “bazaar,” disappointment about a cheaper-than-expected dinner cruise, and an unpleasant hotel dining payment incident; they conclude Egypt is better done via a prepaid guided tour or river cruise. They then describe traveling through Rwanda and Uganda, visiting the Kigali Genocide Museum (highly emotional and impactful, leading them to skip the planned city tour) and completing a gorilla trek in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest They also recount activities around Victoria Falls such as the Devil's Pool experience on the Zambia side (swimming across, proximity to hippos/crocodiles, and fish nibbling feet), plus zip lining, lion walking (with safety rules and notes about controversy and the operator's reluctance), rafting, and a Botswana safari near Chobe National Park and the Chobe River with many elephants. They touch on flights and logistics—using miles for British Airways into Egypt, buying some intra-Africa flights for reliability (including Ethiopian and Kenya), concerns about weight-restricted flights returning to the U.S. (ultimately flying United to Newark and onward), using candy as a thank-you (sometimes refused as a “bribe”), and doing laundry via sink washing and local services. 00:00 Welcome to NonRev Lounge + Introducing Melissa & Jay01:56 How Tyler & Melissa Met: The Southwest Flight That Started It All02:53 Buddy Passes, Hawaii Trips, and Travel Style Differences04:59 Back to Austin: Texas Weather Whiplash & Catching Up06:07 Why Africa?

For hundreds of years, Rwanda's Hutu and Tutsi groups had lived in relative harmony. But the arrival of European colonists enforced and exaggerated the differences between them, until, from the mid-twentieth century, resentment began to boil over. By 1994, the two groups were sworn enemies. Over 100 days, violence engulfed the country, as members of the Hutu majority worked systematically to exterminate the Tutsi. Spurred on by government and military officials, neighbour turned against neighbour, friend against friend, until hundreds of thousands lay dead.   But what precipitated this senseless mass killing? Why were so many ordinary people willing to participate? And what responsibility does the international community bear for the bloodshed? This is a Short History Of the Rwandan Genocide.

Guest Bio: Clementine Sikiri was resettled in the United States with her family after spending years in Kiziba refugee camp in Rwanda, fleeing deadly conflict in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Just as her life was beginning to flourish, Clementine was in a tragic car accident that left her with severe injuries. Through faith, resilience, and the support of her community, she made a miraculous recovery and went on to earn a master's degree in clinical social work. Today, she serves as a mental health clinician in a public middle school, advocates passionately for refugees, and finds joy in her close-knit community.  Show Summary: What was a moment in your life where you felt extreme hopelessness? How did God restore your hope? Clementine Sikiri has experienced many hopeless moments in her life where she had to depend on God to make the impossible, possible. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Vivian Mabuni as they learn how Clementine's hope was restored as a refugee coming to the United States and then as a severe car accident survivor. You don't want to miss this beautiful and encouraging God Hears Her conversation!  Notes and Quotes:  “The first years of my life, war was all I knew. So, I thought the whole world was that way.” —Clementine Sikiri  “One of the biggest misconceptions is that refugees choose to be refugees. It's life or death. We don't choose that.” —Clementine Sikiri  “In a way, [the accident] confirmed my purpose. I am supposed to be here and God wants me here.” —Clementine Sikiri  “The more I grew up to understand the Lord, the more I grew up to understand that He loved me from the beginning.” —Clementine Sikiri  “People saw His goodness in my life and that's all I want.” —Clementine Sikiri  “The more I learn about myself, the more I learn about Him, and the more I learn about Him, the more I learn about myself.” —Clementine Sikiri  Verses:  Matthew 25:40-45 Romans 8:28  Related Episodes:  GHH Ep 68 – Hope That Overcomes with Joyce Dinkins: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/hope-that-overcomes/ GHH Ep 101 – Life After Tragedies with Julia Pinkster: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/life-after-tragedies/  Links:  God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191  Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBMEpisode 216 Bible Study: https://xvetrm.files.cmp.optimizely.com/download/assets/GHH+Podcast_EP216_Final+Output.pdf/fe8694ce011911f1a4fbee48b8e1933b
