Do Not Disturb

The Story of a Political Murder and an African Regime Gone Bad

De: Michela Wrong

Narrado por: Michela Wrong

A powerful investigation into a grisly political murder and the authoritarian regime behind it: Do Not Disturb upends the narrative that Rwanda sold the world after one of the deadliest genocides of the twentieth century.

We think we know the story of Africa’s Great Lakes region. Following the Rwandan genocide, an idealistic group of young rebels overthrew the brutal regime in Kigali, ushering in an era of peace and stability that made Rwanda the donor darling of the West, winning comparisons with Switzerland and Singapore. But the truth was considerably more sinister.

Vividly sourcing her story with direct testimony from key participants, Wrong uses the story of the murder of Patrick Karegeya, once Rwanda’s head of external intelligence and a quicksilver operator of supple charm, to paint the portrait of a modern African dictatorship created in the chilling likeness of Paul Kagame, the president who sanctioned his former friend’s assassination.

Great read

Enjoyed listening and learning about the Rwandan story and it’s intrigue.Highly recommend reading this book

A great African narrative

A great informative read into the hushed political truths of African society. A carefully researched word of art, very revealing and simplified. Well done Michela.

Quite brave yet shocking revelation

I'm quite impressed but not surprised by how well researched and detailed this book is. Michaela doesn't disappoint. Never does. This book really jolted me with the eye-opening chronicles of African politics. God help us!

Must read

A true eye opener basically wow - a bit confusing at first and it jumps around in the timeline but once you’re in there and know the characters you can’t stop listening - one of the best non fiction books I’ve ever heard and it totally changes your mind about African politics and how it’s described in western media

The author sounds drunk

Incredibly compelling story and subject matter, but the author's slurred speech makes listening a real chore. I wish there was an option to select another narrator.
