A Rwandan man accused of participating in the 1994 genocide has been deported from the U.S to face justice in his home  country. 55 year old Jean Le'onard Teganya arrived in Kigali following his release from the U.S federal prison, where he had served a 97 month sentence for immigration fraud and perjury. It is alleged that as a medical student and ruling party member during the 100-day massacres in Rwanda, Teganya actively collaborated with soldiers and militias to identify and target Tutsi patients as a hospital in Butare. He had been living in Canada for 15years  before illegally entering the United States under false asylum application, a year ago. He was taken into custody by the Rwandan authorities upon landing on Monday.

U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has denounced a bid to impeach him over the war with Iran as "sabotage", saying he would order the same military operations again. Republican Congressman Thomas Massie earlier  brought eight articles of impeachment, accusing Hegseth of waging war without congressional approval. President Donald Trump says he'll stand by his defence secretary even if the House impeaches him. Massie says the House could vote as early as today on whether to set the charges aside. Sherwin. Bryce-Pease breaks it down for us.

Time now for The Discourse, and it's our Profile Wednesday here on Rise and Shine.

This morning, we speak to Pamela Afokpe, a plant scientist and plant breeder based in Benin, who is the Research and Development Operations Manager at East-West Seed West Africa.

Her work focuses on improving indigenous African vegetables such as Gboma, Amaranth and Jute Mallow - crops that have sustained communities for generations but have often received limited attention from agricultural research.

She is currently out in the field with colleagues, visiting farmers who grow these vegetables. Her work to improve traditional crops and create better opportunities for farmers has also earned her the 2026 Norman E. Borlaug Award for Field Research and Application.

She joined us to discuss her journey, what farmers are telling her and the role indigenous vegetables could play in strengthening food security across Africa.
