Episode Synopsis

This week on The Long Form, I sit down with Dr. Lassina Zerbo — former Prime Minister of Burkina Faso and current Chairman of the Rwanda Atomic Energy Board. In this high-stakes conversation, we explore why Dr. Zerbo believes that Africa’s development depends on nuclear energy — and why Rwanda is betting big on atomic power.We also discuss his brief but historic tenure as PM, the legacy of Thomas Sankara, the geopolitical risk of nuclear conflict, and the role of African innovation in the global energy transition.From coups in Burkina Faso to Kigali’s nuclear future — this is one of our most urgent conversations yet.Paid partnership with: Waka Fitness: Go to https://waka.fitbase.rw/thelongform and get 20% off your gym membership.
