From a trainee at Radio Maendeleo in 1997, Ms. Namegabe became a full-time staffer in 2002 and a year later founded the Association of Women Journalists of South Kivu - a region torn by fierce fighting between the mainly Hutu Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda and other rebel groups such as the Mayi Mayi.
