The genocide of 1994 left 800,000 Rwandans dead. Since then the country has been remarkably stable, millions have been brought out of poverty and it is currently one of the least corrupt countries in Africa. But there are claims by some that freedom is the price that has been paid, and a recent UN report has detailed Rwandan involvement in fighting in neighbouring DRC. Open elections, freedom of speech, international meddling, and national reconciliation all come up in a wide-ranging debate with questions raised by Rwandans around the world. The panel: Victoire Ingabire: Opposition activist and Founder of Development and Liberty for All Party Albert Rubatsimburwa: Political commentator and writer for the New Times Gonzaga Muganwa: Journalist, former Executive Secretary of the Rwanda Journalists Association Frank Habineza MP: Founder of the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda Presenter: Jonny Dymond Producers: Helen Towner and Charlie Taylor (Photo: The President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, speaks to students at Harvard University in 2016.
