Rwanda, you know it for sure, is a bit of a "police state".

you have the feeling there are people listening around, especially if you talk about politics (and, never talk about the president): it may be just feelings, but you feel it clearly

but don't get me wrong

What Rwanda is doing is great, and a lot depend on that president.

What is revolutionary for me is having a country in Africa where:

* police (and the state) has very low corruption at least interfacing ordinary people

* basic services works (schools, roads, assistance for people with needs: food and health especially)

* clean (and Rwanda is really clean!!)

* and of course without the white ruling elite

so that any African visiting it will just ask him/herself:

* "omg, so it is possible in Africa?" and then

* "so, why the f. in my country everything is so shitty?"

Add to this president's quote: "Africans are the future of global tourism" and you have a great trigger.
