Rwandan elections

As many of you know, I'll be spending most of the next month in Rwanda. I didn't know this until now, but we'll be leaving the country a few days short of its first elections in a decade. That's probably a good thing in terms of safety, but I'd love to be there to watch the polling (and to pray for peace).

President Paul Kagame has been leading the country for nine years after his Rwanda Patriotic Front liberated the capital and ended the genocide nine years ago. He's currently the front-runner in the elections, which isn't exactly a surprise. AllAfrica.com (which I'm adding to the news links) has an in-depth interview with the president, which sheds light on the main issues facing a Rwandan leader right about now.
