Show notes

In this compelling episode of The Long Form podcast, we sit down with Dr. Charles Murigande, a key but often overlooked figure in post-genocide Rwandan politics, to unpack pivotal moments in Rwanda’s history. A former Rwandan ambassador and cabinet minister, Murigande shares rare insights into the early struggles of the Rwandese Patriotic Front (RPF), the 1998 Kicukiro cadre revolt, the political crisis surrounding President Pasteur Bizimungu’s fall, and standing for president against Paul Kagame in 2000. This exclusive interview offers a deep dive into the political dynamics of post-genocide Rwanda, the rebuilding of the state, and what lies ahead for the country and the Great Lakes region. A must-watch for anyone interested in the Tutsi Genocide aftermath, the evolution of the RPF, and the untold stories behind Rwanda's political transformation.
