Editor, RE: “Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the best, and with only a little effort” (The New Times, November 30). This is a beautifully crafted article. Africans visiting Kigali are awed by the cleanliness. One Sudanese once said: “It [Kigali] is cleaner than Rome, Lisbon and Athens”. I am told African Union delegates, including Heads of State, couldnt believe their eyes and vowed to try emulate Rwanda—something I had predicted three years ago in my article: “Kigali is no longer an African city”.
