Rwanda will continue to lead from the front

Editor,I read with keen interest an opinion in yesterday’s edition of The New Times, titled “Why Rwanda attracts the ire of the powerful.” It is a well known fact that Rwanda, after the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, was virtually written off for good.But the dramatic turnaround over the last 18 years, under the able guidance and astute leadership of President Paul Kagame, has left the world astonished.Let me share with your readers, that I have personally experienced how pro-active and co-operative different Ministries and Government agencies have been during my recent visit to Rwanda.The Immigration and Customs Departments at Kigali International Airport facilitated the entry procedures on arrival at the Airport.The Ministry of Justice, which I had visited for the first time in my life, attested and notarised as many as 28 documents in a matter of just 20 minutes.I think that is why the Indian Media Moghul, Satya Swaroop, has chosen Rwanda to establish his International School of Journalism. And that is also the reason why the eminent Indian Homeopath Dr. Sejal Sanghavi, with 15 years of experience, travelled all the way to this country to conduct a free Medical Camp and share with the people here, her medical knowledge and competence, in this well known field of alternate medicine.Wishing the country and her warm and friendly people continued success in the years ahead.Clarence Fernandes
