About this episode

Anaïs and Carine Kanimba are human rights advocates and daughters of Paul Rusesabagina, the real-life hero of Hotel Rwanda. As vocal critics of Paul Kagame’s regime, they’ve become powerful voices against authoritarianism, political repression, and the silencing of dissent in Rwanda and beyond.

In this interview they expose the reality behind Rwanda's image laundering through its high-profile sponsorship of Arsenal Football Club. They reveal how Premier League partnerships are being weaponised to legitimise tyranny. This episode uncovers the brutal repression, silencing of dissent, and the West’s moral complicity in one of Africa’s most tightly controlled regimes.
