Bad News: Last Journalists in a Dictatorship

Bad News: Last Journalists in a Dictatorship

In 2009, Anjan Sundaram began a journalist's training program in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. Often held up as a beacon of progress and modernity in Central Africa, the regime of President Paul Kagameâ€”which took over after the 1994 genocide ravaged Rwandaâ€™s populationâ€”has been given billions of dollars in Western aid. And yet, during Sundaramâ€™s time there, almost every reporter he instructed was arrested or forced to leave the country, caught in a tightening web of strict media control.

With Bad News, Sundaram offers an incredible firsthand look at the rise of dictatorship and the fall of free speech, one thatâ€™s important to understand not just for its implications in Rwanda, but for any country threatened by demands to adopt a single way of thinking. Â
