"A fellatory forecast of Rwanda's bright ICT future has me huffing about human rights, while a screed that makes Kigali sound like an African Pyongyang has me extolling the virtues of, yes, the Rwandan renaissance. In Rwanda, you feel compelled to take sides - so much so that, at times, I feel like I'm arguing less out of conviction than out of a need to have that conviction. But most days, everything is a bit muddled in my head. When writing about Rwanda, when talking about Rwanda, when living in Rwanda, we're still grappling with the ghosts of a past we only dimly understand."

Landlocked Rwanda plans to open a new transport route linking it with Tanzania's main port through the River Kagera.
Rwandan goods arriving at the Dar es Salaam port will travel via train or road to Lake Victoria, and onward by boat along the River Kagera to Kagitumba in Rwanda.

Explaining the interest and enthusiasm, a British official said: "First of all, Rwandans say 'thank you'. President Kagame publicly acknowledges that taxpayers' money is spent to help his country. Such gratitude is rare elsewhere. Second, Rwanda has a culture of honesty. The money is well spent. Corruption is heavily punished. The Government has a vision of where it is going, and people work hard".

Thorp, the founding principal of Gateway High in San Francisco - one of the most highly touted public schools in the state - has accepted that same position at Gashora Girls Academy in landlocked Rwanda. This means he will leave behind his attorney wife, Donna Williamson; his three adult children; his 3-year-old sheepdog, Jake; and his top-floor flat with a roof deck in order to live in a shared house and spend a minimum of three years swatting at mosquitoes.

The contrast with neighboring Rwanda could not be more stark. When you cross the border from Congo to Rwanda, suddenly the roads are a dream. You discover a series of beautifully paved, smooth highways, whisking motorists all the way from the Congo border to the capital, Kigali.
