Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Five years ago, Hutu extremists swept through Rwanda, murdering that nation’s Tutsi minority. Now, those accused of conspiring in the genocide, including a Catholic Bishop, are on trial in a Rwandan court, and, if convicted, are likely to face the death penalty. Kojo and guests discuss the challenge of bringing justice and peace to this troubled region.
Guests
- Philip Gourevitch Writer, The New Yorker, author "We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families: Stories From Rwanda
- Janet Fleischman Expert on Rwanda, Human Rights Watch
- Richard Sezibra, MD Rwanda's Ambassador to the U.S.
