From The Long Form Podcast · 1:46:46
Show by LF MEDIA
Eastern Africa is facing serious security challenges, from Sudan's civil war and South Sudan's political instability to tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea and the ongoing conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). But can African institutions actually stop these wars? On this episode of The Long Form Podcast, Sanny Ntayombya sits down with Brigadier General Ronald Rwivanga, Director of the Eastern Africa Standby Force (EASF) and former Rwanda Defence Force spokesperson, to examine regional peace, security and military cooperation. We discuss why EASF can deploy forces within days yet faces political and legal restrictions on intervention, the tension between national sovereignty and protecting civilians, and how conflicts spill across borders into Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi. We also explore whether Africa is prepared for security threats including Ebola, Marburg and climate-related disasters, and how Gen. Rwivanga is navigating his transition from military leadership to regional diplomacy.Sponsors:ShieldTech Hub- https://www.shieldtechub.com Akagera Medicines- https://www.akageramedicines.com BasiGo Rwanda- https://www.basi-go.com/rwanda CanalBox-https://www.canalbox.rw Join our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF MediaJoin our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF Media
