April 03, 2023 The RPF at 35: What are the ruling party's future challenges?
Over the weekend, the ruling party, the RPF held its first National Congress in a few years. During the congress, the top most positions in the organisation were voted on by party members. These positions included party chairperson, the vice, the secretary general and other members of the National Executive Committee. Why is this a big deal? Because, as RPF goes, so does the country. This week, I shall talk about why this particular congress is so important for Rwanda’s future.
On Thursday, Paul Rusesagina, landed back in the US after a few days in Qatar. He was released by presidential pardon, along with is co-accused, and had his sentence commuted. We shall discuss what this means for Rwanda moving forward.

February 27, 2023 Young and sick: A conversation about our health with Ivan Munye
44% of all deaths in Rwanda are a result of non-communicable diseases or NCDs. These diseases, most of them 100% preventable, include diabetes, hypertension and cancers.
How are they preventable? By reducing the amount of tobacco, alcohol and calorie-dense food we consume. And regular exercise of course.

To discuss not only what is happening as a result of our refusal to change our habits, but what we can do to actually have a successful, and life changing, health journey, I am joined by Ivan Munye.
Ivan is not only a personal trainer with a certification from the International Sports Science Association, he is the founder of FitPipo, a health and wellness management firm. Ivan also owns Cali Fitness, a popular Gaculiro-based gym.

February 13, 2023 Will additional East African troops be allowed to pacify Eastern DRC?
This week James Karuhanga, The New Times editor, joins to discuss whether or not additional East African forces will be able to help pacify the restive Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
On Friday, February 9, Defence chiefs from the East African Community (EAC) partner states directed the immediate deployment of troops from countries yet to join the regional force in Goma, capital of North province in eastern DR Congo.
The regional military chiefs met in Nairobi, Kenya, in the presence of the EAC Secretariat following the bloc’s Heads of State’s directive on February 4 to have forces on the ground based on a timeline agreed on by the security chiefs.
Presently 900 Kenyan troops have already been deployed on the ground.
