KIGALI – The FDLR has survived over three decades of military pressure, losing commanders, fighters and territory along the way. Yet the group has never completely disappeared from the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Born from the aftermath of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, its conventional military strength has declined sharply, […]

KIGALI – When a business owner opens an account for a particular project, then moves on or a graduate finishes university and no longer uses the account that once received a scholarship, the account remains there, often with a balance that is too small to worry about. Similarly, its normal for an employee to change […]

KIGALI – When Paris Saint-Germain captain Marquinhos lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy in Budapest on Saturday night, it marked the end of another memorable European campaign denying Arsenal a first Champions League title.

Kigali, Rwanda – The 20th edition of the national dialogue (Umushyikirano) that ended on February 6, 2025, has exposed a reality Rwanda can no longer afford to treat as secondary.
