Show notes

The conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is often simplified into a story of aggressors and victims — but the reality is far more complex. In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, Gatete Nyiringabo Ruhumuliza breaks down the geopolitical, legal, and strategic forces shaping the Rwanda–DRC crisis, the role of M23, and why tensions between Rwanda and its neighbors continue to escalate. We explore the real endgame behind the conflict, the impact of US sanctions on Rwanda’s economy and everyday life, and the silence of regional powers and the African Union. This conversation goes beyond headlines to examine security, sovereignty, regional politics, and the future of stability in East Africa. If you want to understand what’s really happening in Congo, Rwanda, and the Great Lakes region — this is essential listening.
