We’re excited to announce our 2021-22 non-resident fellows: Chido Nyaruwata, Wanjiku Ngugi, Samah Fawzi, and team Soinato Leboo and Gretchen Walch. On this episode, they introduce themselves and, of course, share what they’re reading! You’ll hear more from them throughout season 6, including episodes created and produced by each of them.
In the news wrap, Kim and Rachel talk about the South African football team, the Africa Cup of Nations (AfCon), the Democracy Summit hosted by the Biden administration, the recent sentencing of Benin’s Reckya Madougou, and state-sponsored hacks of Ugandans.
