I spoke to award-winning journalist and co-founder of M28 Investigates / Unité M28, Samuel Baker BYANSI, about events in #Rwanda including the rumors around Paul Kagame's health and a related crackdown on Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza and what's left of the political opposition.

Sake, eastern DRC: Bombed homes, looted villages, fear and rape. M23, backed by Kagame’s regime, forces civilians to return to rubble under the lie of “peace.” No aid. No protection. Just survival under occupation. And the world keeps looking away. thenewhumanitarian.org/news-feature/2…

DRC-Rwanda Agreement: Two elements are new: It is the first direct bilateral peace agreement between DRC & Rwanda, guaranteed by Department of State. Secondly, it considers economic aspects crucial for durable peace, while political issues are simply discarded. egmontinstitute.be/drc-rwanda-why…

Much attention has been given to the role of Rwanda in DRC conflict & its support to M23. Much less attention has been given to the role of Uganda. Understand Uganda’s (ambiguous) actions in Eastern DRC: Military interventions to protect roads & trade? egmontinstitute.be/understanding-…



In Berlin today I stood in solidarity - not just with Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza Ingabire, but with every Rwandan who’s been silenced, jailed, exiled, or killed for demanding dignity. We are not asking for favors. These are our rights guaranteed by our constitution. Kagame’s regime thrives


Thank you, Samuel Baker BYANSI for standing tall in Berlin. Your courage and voice speak for so many who can’t. Defending truth, justice, and our rights is not just noble—it’s necessary. Proud of you. #JusticeForIngabire
