| Amb. Fred Gateretse-Ngoga | Burundi, DR Congo & Why Africa Cannot Find Peace | 14 Sep 2026 | 01:21:10 | |
Ambassador Fred Gateretse-Ngoga spent 17 years at the African Union working on some of Africa's most difficult peace and security challenges. In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, recorded shortly before his departure from the AU Commission, Fred sits down with Sanny Ntayombya for a candid conversation about Burundi, Rwanda, eastern DRC and the future of peace in Africa. He discusses his controversial public criticism of discrimination against Burundi's Tutsi community, whether ethnic power-sharing created lasting stability, and what Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo misunderstand about each other. They debate whether wars can sometimes be resolved through military victory, the M23 and FDLR question, growing Afrophobia and xenophobia across Africa, and why conflicts continue to proliferate despite decades of African Union peacebuilding.

| Jones Kizihira | The Great Electric Vehicle Gamble: Can Africa Really Abandon Diesel? | 10 Aug 2026 | 01:25:35 | |
Africa is rapidly embracing electric mobility, but can electric vehicles really transform how Africans move? In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, we sit down with Jones Kizihira, Managing Director of BasiGo Rwanda, for a deep conversation about electric buses, EV adoption, public transport and the future of African cities.

| Tharcisse Karugarama | The Origins of RANU, the RPF & Rwanda’s Refugee Struggle | 06 Jul 2026 | 03:03:36 | |
Before the RPF liberation struggle, before 1990, and before Rwanda’s transformation, there was RANU (Rwandese Alliance for National Unity) — a small underground movement created by Rwandan refugees living in exile. In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, former Rwandan Minister of Justice and RANU founding member Tharcisse Karugarama tells the story of growing up as a refugee in Uganda, the struggles faced by stateless Rwandans, and how a group of young activists secretly organized a movement that would later become the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF). Karugarama reflects on the founding of RANU in 1979, meeting Ugandan President Milton Obote, working alongside figures such as Tito Rutaremara, Patrick Mazimhaka, and other early members, debates around socialism and the monarchy, and the decisions that eventually transformed RANU into the RPF in 1987. This is the story before the war — the ideas, sacrifices, and hidden conversations that shaped modern Rwanda.

Prices are rising, currencies are under pressure, and global events are beginning to affect everyday life in ways many people don’t fully understand. In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, Soraya Hakuziyaremye, Governor of the National Bank of Rwanda, explains what is really happening inside Rwanda’s economy — and how global shocks such as US sanctions, geopolitical tensions, and rising energy prices impact inflation, the Rwandan franc, and long-term economic growth. We discuss whether Rwanda can continue its development trajectory under external pressure, how much control central banks actually have over inflation, and what individuals should understand about saving, investing, and building wealth in uncertain times.

| Gaël Vande Weghe: The Hidden Decline of Rwanda’s Wildlife | 23 Mar 2026 | 01:41:03 | |
Rwanda is often celebrated as a conservation success story, known for its national parks, gorillas, and protected ecosystems. But how much of the country’s natural world has already disappeared? In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, scientist, photographer, and conservationist Gaël Vande Weghe discusses his research on Rwanda’s biodiversity, including a comprehensive study documenting 229 mammal species. This conversation examines wildlife conservation, biodiversity loss, African environmental policy, and the future of nature in Rwanda and East Africa, asking whether conservation is preserving ecosystems — or simply protecting the last fragments of them.

| Michael Fairbanks, CEO of Akagera Medicines: Rwanda’s $75M Gamble to Build a $2B Pharma Company | 09 Mar 2026 | 01:01:10 | |
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/.
