[@kagabopierre7285]

Me too

[@anngbkarasanyi5128]

He is definitely better than Chaka Sali🤜🏾

[@TheLongFormRwanda]

Thank you Ethan! This is much appreciated🙏🏾

[@Mp-jh2kg]

We for you big man 🙏 ​@@TheLongFormRwanda

[@carsinn4710]

Probably this is the most informative and relevant KZbin channel in Rwanda, thanks for bringing Andrew

[@always-online]

I always wondered why Mwenda is so close to Leaders and people look for him for help, now I know. This man has something to give. Thanks Andrew .

[@theafricanliberationagency4652]

This was the tip of an iceberg.....just the tip!!!

[@pepeinno4002]

He is man without scruples

[@bestgospelsongs9062]

Dude has an intellect

[@NiyonsabaFulgence-tq3gr]

A puppet of bloodthirsty dictators!

[@anngbkarasanyi5128]

I recall during RPR struggle I told our gathering here in my house in Maryland, that “Rwanda would be the Switzerland of Africa” no wonder leaders and all the world is coming to seek Rwanda 🇷🇼 ❤🙏🏾

[@vyuguruzumwangumwereka]

If it wasn't for Mwenda's involvement and talking to his friend Muhoozi about the real Kagame intentions, these 2 countries would've still be at odds today. So, thank you Andrew & Muhoozi for breaking the ice! Rwandans & Ugandans are more than neighbors, they are blood brothers!

[@GrumpyTinashe]

You are right Looting blood brothers. The two of you are responsible for the disaster on Congo Mark my words when Kagame dies disaster awaits Rwanda.

[@ndalukanekundi5459]

Not only the two countries citizens are blood brothers and sisters, but the whole African citizens, piece, stability and development for African citizens are at stake,we need leaders like H.E P.K,we need educational people like Mr Andrew, journalism are key prayers but they are at list not every leader will understand their responsibility but I salute the interaction for two, watching from Namibia as lady for 57 age growing under the education of my late grandmother about politics and the war in Africa

[@zainabnamara3947]

Wooow....this is overwhelming . .. am so proud of my president ❤... my country ....Rwanda to the world

[@Justin2010rw]

President Paul Kagame's leadership has been transformative, not just for Rwanda but for the entire region and beyond. His vision, dedication, and commitment to unity and progress have set a remarkable example. Thank you, my President, for your unwavering service and for inspiring hope and resilience.

[@pepeinno4002]

Rwanda gdp per head in the early 90s was similar to Kenya. Under Kagame, it is now a third of Kenya's. If that is transformation for you, God have mercy for our illiteracy.

[@Ant1p4th3]

Stop talking nonsense , Kagame is a criminal

[@mbabazikansiimeodette2486]

Wisdom and intellect at work within these two great sons of Africa! Go, keep expanding and increasing to unlimited heights of spreading love.

[@NYIRAMANAEsperance-d1d]

Tell them, Mr. Mwenda! I am Rwanda and there is no better time to be Rwandan. My love for Rwanda, makes me love H.E. PK, and H.E PK, makes me love Rwanda even more. I wish we can convince him to stand for another term. We don't care what the world thinks about it, we care about what he has done and continues to do for us. In Kinyarwanda I would say "gutora PK, n'ugukura ubwatsi" and the majority of Rwandans, both within the country and in diaspora are ready to "gukura ubwatsi again".

[@mugabejames1987]

I didn’t know he was this smart, now i am a new student

[@africa-connect]

He has been always intelligent with sober independent thoughts

[@davisrugamba3429]

Andrew Mwenda has always been brilliant!

[@ATSdream]

The point in simple the man is powerful and strong minded! And humans by nature respect strong minded people. ❤❤❤❤

[@alan.imangue]

Weak-minded people respect strong minded people.A person that respects herself only respect well-minded people.

[@jennyunscripted86]

[@theafricanliberationagency4652]

[@bigwifranco5624]

Woaw. I see the truth in this man's eyes.thank you mr Mwenda for being a true human being. Putting politics aside, I admire you, and you're my role model.

[@Ethan00477]

[@geofreym8133]

H.E PK is a true African leader, he is not a selfish leader, he always wish Africans to be well-off and faught for Africans right and entire world. So he is a unique person.

[@ghakiba2019]

Thanks for hosting Andrew Mwenda! He is such an intelligent journalist!

[@rutabayirugilbert2142]

Intelligent,wise and professional journalists.

[@rubibiedward3663]

Thanks for loving our lovely president and country in general

[@rememusic3300]

Man! I love you Mwenda💖 I appreciate you Sanny... your podcast is profound and incomparable.

[@jacobkato8522]

Mwenda is an intellectual. He speaks facts in relation to thoughts.

[@digraciouskansly7937]

Siniya groomed Sanny well. No question about it. A very amazing interview.

[@ngobokabernard]

Great stuff omusiniya

[@gen.e.israel508]

To appreciate the success of President PK we have to consider where he is coming from. a man who worked closely with President M7 one considered to be Africas longes genius, there is no way he could fail Rwanda. Am impressed Gen Muhoozi is back to tap into this deth of wisdom from PK.

[@bigwifranco5624]

I have always said that, and in recent news about Muhoozi coming, I told people that Mr Mwenda is behind this good relationship revival, between Rwanda, uganda.and that is true.

[@umuringa3]

WOW So inspiring ! Thanks so much Mr Samy and Mwenda for this beautiful Interview! P.K is Unique; gifted by God! He is my inspiration and role model in all aspects! Long Live ! Please shout to the world! in French they say: il faut jete les fleurs a ceux qui les meritent

[@odidaoscar1654]

From my Early days Andrew Mwenda has always been and will always be second to none as a journalist but also as an intelligent person

[@theafricanliberationagency4652]

I'm always looking forward to listening to my grandpa, Sir Andrew Mwenda. Africa is so gifted to have you and you should be added on the long list of the precious minerals found in the continent but you aren't a mineral, maybe you would qualify to be called a diamond mining field but that's an understatement too... Meeting you in person would be a dream come true Sir. To the moderator, thanks for hosting this special and incredible gem of human being...

[@rutabayirugilbert2142]

Thanks,Mr Samy and Mwenda for the submissions.Let Ugandans and Rwandese learn from the submission.

[@UTUNTU250]

Now when you talk about Kagame I just come and sit with feeling happy in my heart, As Rwandan we truly love kagame Paul , so for those who dislike him it's just julous

[@SuperEsir]

Good show and excellent hosting, keep it on Samy. Very informative. I strongly, your podcast is on its way to be the best current 2024

[@TheLongFormRwanda]

Thank you for the encouragement Esir🙏🏾

[@kapendezojefferson5752]

This conversation really resonated with me as it highlighted the ways in which people from other countries can appreciate our president. However, for those of us who are within the country, we have a lot of great insights into the deeds and accomplishments he has achieved. These include various social and economic transformations such as the "one cow per family" initiative, the demolition of grass-thatched houses (nyakatsi), providing secure housing for nationals, implementing health insurance, and offering scholarships to all young children, regardless of their background in terms of clan and tribe. Additionally, the president has provided opportunities for our country in external operations based on merit, rather than favoritism or nepotism.

[@TumusiimeTitus]

Great discussion. I agree that Uganda and Rwanda have a shared destiny. We are one people , dependent on each other.

[@___19965]

The interviewer is calm! Informed and level headed

[@raphaelamani8606]

When Andrew Mwenda speaks u seat, listen and learn. Very smart guy with too much knowledge and high level of analytical skills

[@bonifacemuhangi3322]

Thank you Sanny to host the most intelligent guy Andrew Mwenda from Uganda. It is the problem with this generation doesn't no important and valuable Mathers, rather they only value comic words. But Andrew is so brilliant. Me I know him well right from our primary school called RUTOMA (B) PRIMARY SCHOOL. BIG UP ANDREW MWENDA.💪

[@ndalukanekundi5459]

This was informative and educational to African citizens, for those of us follow the channel from Namibia,we also understand that our leaders have hand in the DRC self confidence and development for citizens and African at large ❤❤ the content

[@DadJ2020]

Thanks Andrew Mweda for the insight and the a good work as mediator. You've really changed my whole inside as I am from both countries. Thanks very much God bless you and our Leaders

[@TheWagtail-12]

The Truth is being told, Big Up to all True Panafricans.

[@christophemuhigira4679]

Congratulations gentlemen, brilliant and intelligent professionals sharing very reach knowledge...I have been a follower and avid reader of Mr Mweda's writings since 2007, his intelligence and generous analysis were always puzzling for me...now the great interviewer Sunny just made my day! Way to go gentlemen Panafricanist!...

[@timmyblast]

Thanks to the interviewer for allowing his guest talk very freely .. love from nigeria

[@LFKGooner]

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Mwenda's insight and deep knowledge are unmatched. Interesting viewing watching Mwenda's different emotions in play especially at 25:11 when he is describing how PK is a very reliable and royal ally. And towards the end of the video where he is angry at Uganda for denying the young man a passport. Beautiful.

[@Abbey.k1]

Henceforth, this is the VIP Show. Biography and personal views of government officials, incumbents, retired and so forth. For instance, Ange Kagame, her husband, her brothers and so many inspiring people behind the public scenes. Thanks indeed for the channel. I started watching when was taking about the forbidden stories. I loved your input. Keep it up brother Sunny!

[@user-ko2yg2np2t]

Paul kagame is very serious for his county

[@MH-nq7wy]

I subscribe always once i hear the Endrew's voice.

[@sibojude1200]

Since when Muhozi made us not to be killed in Uganda I started loving Him, but now also Mwenda he is going to be my friend.

[@rukoranyangabo9128]

This is what gives headache to the Interahamwe & Ibigarasha. Thanks Mwenda for being a good adviser to Gen. Muhozi as well as far not taking the time& your friendship with HE for granted. You're right even to be admitted to be a father grandfather after job.

[@ndamukundadarius7100]

Thanks Andrew for loving our president

[@theafricanliberationagency4652]

1:13: 00 how i wish the moderator had asked Andrew what impact would integration have in our development trajectory.....Mr Moderator you did me and other East Africans a disservice to not even have a mention of the word "intergeneration" No matter what the challenges of our countries we should constantly jog our minds about the greatest strategic solution to our enormous strategic challenge.

[@DonWonders]

Wow, I greatly enjoyed this podcast for all the topics discussed that I'm passionately related too. Thanks @Sanny Ntayombya. I'm here to stay.

[@PaulKombo-ck7vz]

[@rutayisireemmanuel5812]

Sunny, you put it right at the close of the show, this is the platform to go to when tired of the same narratives, some spanning decades. Bravo, Sunny. Emmanuel

[@TheLongFormRwanda]

Thank you Emmanuel🙏🏾

[@markierucogoza2844]

Thank you Sanny for hosting Andrew Mwenda.... An interesting interview

[@CEInclusiveeducationstaff]

Admittedly, Andrew is a great analyst with wide regional exposure.

[@seeziisraelofficial9594]

To Sanny, you're so incredible. Thank you for being a good moderator

[@bigwifranco5624]

Whoever actively follows what is taking place and the way Americans benefit from making neighbours collide. May almighty God protect Mr Mwenda. I think Americans should be isolated from our affairs. God bless you, mwenda our Son, and please take care of yourself and May Rwanda and Uganda make sure you're safe.

[@bajenezafranklinjim6888]

My MAN ANDREW 🙏🏾♥️

[@kamukama23]

Great show. of course it had to be with Mwenda on it.

[@mugishaelvis292]

[@user-kq8xi8ru3p]

I absolutely agree he is an enlightened leader!

Brilliant analysis 🎉

[@Ethan00477]

Waoooo thanks Andrew. My question is, can lower pple who have not built a career like that of yrs befriend you, know you,talk to you?how? I love your reading and courage to memorize facts❤.

[@lifeasaleina1343]

Ohh No...Andrew Mwenda's emotional side has made me cry 😢 It's OK to be emotional Mwenda ! Ibyo bigaragaza ubumuntu!😢

[@moukhtalgakuba]

Great convo and for big insights on geopolitics!

[@vitalmuvunyi7]

This reminds me of the book "A Thousand Hills" by Stephen Kinzer published probably 10 years ago. This man, President Kagame is amazing! Bravo Ntayombya!

[@dannymugabo889]

Thank you Sanny - what a great interview very insightful . 💯

[@mayekuronald7109]

These kind of talk shows are informative and educates the people about what is happening in real times other than relying on propaganda. Keep it up

[@jaysonbamugera3533]

Andrew has got great agility and growth mindset, very intelligent, knowledgeable & always very articulate 👍

[@a-zadvisorsconsulting7632]

Rwanda has a strategic geographic position. It is well situated in central Africa. You can easily reach different parts of Africa from Rwanda.

[@godfreymwesigye1085]

I enjoyed the show as well thank you Andrew and the host for such an inspirational interview .

[@kasulebriankalule2129]

Andrew must be the most informed journalist on the African soil.

[@seeziisraelofficial9594]

Wow, this is a nice show everyone must watch and listen to this wisdom. Thank you @mwendaandrew and The long Form. Watching from Kampala Ug

[@mwebazederryc7876]

Master piece 🎉

[@sabiitistephen8278]

Thank you Big man Andrew Mwenda for that deep insight into our geopolitical situation.You are second to non when it comes to untangling the regional complexities.❤ Rwandans are proud of you.

[@makumbisimon3992]

Andrew, Your Explanation on the questions of Banyarwanda at immigrations about passport acquisition has left me puzzled. Imagine a problem without a solution !

[@gatambarajames1693]

Finally I have met my long time role model that most people should have thirsty to know. Thanks Sanny my best English speaking moderator.

[@mosesmwine1367]

Brilliant, the old man of the clan....... ✊

[@Abahoalex840]

As a Ugandan I was hopeful when I saw Kabila peacefully hand over power and Tshekedi take the reigns as a former opposition leader. But years later, all he says is things EVERY one knows. No matter no substance or no new news in all his interviews. His cabinet is made up of prosecuted criminals. Really I wish the people of Congo could look inward before they look outward. For how long can your father blame his neighbours for lack of no food?

[@inzovundende6049]

This guy is a great analyst

[@jimbrutan_senior]

PK knows the power of branding & good marketing. He is doing great for his country Rwanda. Other African leaders should emulate the same too.

[@buteragerrishon4473]

Thank you Andrew Mwenda.

[@j.r3247]

Finally somebody speaks confidently positively about our incredible president P.K

[@SekibalaLuwaga]

Tell MK to sparehead a movement about true pan africanism❤

[@eddynyarwaya3257]

Thank you, this, was big talk man to man Andrew is first to see your emotions , from speaking from the heart . watching you from Washington DC . MWAKOZE CYANE.

[@SekibalaLuwaga]

Well said about the UN

[@jkitaraceo9694]

Definitely president Kagame is following the same script that president M7 and a few others used in his early years as president. This is very important for the people of Rwanda because it come along with a few good things and great hope. However, some of that hope can easily fade away because these Western leaders can be so cunning and lead PK into problems. PK is a great leader and am sure he thinks about this because he has been part of M7 leadership before. I am happy to see him shine in his time, but Rwandans take advantage of the times and prosper with PK because its yours but be wearly of the white man as well

[@officialjawson]

❤❤❤ thanks for hosting the old man

[@musinguzigoodluck2013]

Congratulations OB

[@martinmusinguzi8283]

Very informative interview. The right questions for Mwenda who is an analytical trove of regional geopolitical knowledge. Great job “Long Form”.
