In this episode of The Long Form, I sit down with legendary journalist and thinker Charles Onyango-Obbo, a pioneer of East African journalism and a man whose career has intersected with some of the region’s most defining moments.
We talk about his frontline coverage of the Rwandan Patriotic Front during the 1990s civil war, the political legacy of President Paul Kagame, the uncertain transition in Uganda after Museveni, and which war-torn states—Somalia, DRC, South Sudan, Burundi—might surprise us in the next 15 years.
Charles also reflects on media, memory, and mortality: Can great journalism still thrive in the age of short attention spans? Would he change anything? And what gives him hope — or fear — about the future of East Africa?
