Seems like just last week that Rwanda was a place of genocide and atrocity. That was in 1994.

This sounds like an incredible turnaround.

If this kind of technological and commercial progress can take place in Rwanda, it can elsewhere in Africa.

I hope they have all the best.

I spent a month in Africa from the end of August to the end of September 1994. The Alaska Air National Guard sent two C-130 aircraft as part of the famine relief effort. We flew a lot of food stuff to Goma, Zaire, where a lot of the Rwandan refugees wound up. Flying over Rwanda was surreal, as the villages were totally empty. Even flying into Kigali I saw one person walking and one truck driving down the road. Other than that, the entire city was totally deserted. One more reason why I am against any type of gun control.
