Fourteen people were killed on Friday, reportedly tourists who were visiting the Rwandan great lakes region which is known for its mountain gorillas. The attack has been blamed on local people who were searching for food. They have been shot according to Arab sources:
The so called Rwandan genocide occurred between April and July
1994 and is described as the mass slaughter of the Tutsi and Twa people of Rwanda and blamed on Huti extremism but according to Arab sources it was an economic war. Rwanda has a colonial past. The German and Belgian sponsored Tutsi monarchy lasted until 1959. The present king of Rwanda lives in exile in Manchester.
It is not known how bad things are in Rwanda, officially the republic of Rwanda or what the water situation is like. There are current concerns however about an ebola epidemic in the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo.
