A comment on Rwanda joins Kenya to initiate visa-free travel for all Africans. Parent comment
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.
