On this week's episode of The Long Form, a weekly podcast of The New Times, we are joined by Yamina Karitanyi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Rwanda Mines, Gas, and Petroleum Board (RMB), for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of mining in the country.

The former diplomat provides rare insights into Rwanda's mineral wealth valued at $150 billion, the misconceptions about alleged mineral theft in DR Congo, and what the country is doing to add value to its own minerals locally.
