Congo Siasa - Rwanda's Long Arm?

Dear friends,

Check out this blog post from Jason Stearns.
Rwanda's Long Arm?  The Economist posted an article last week that would raise the hackles on many a Congolese's neck. In the article, the paper ran over the familiar argument that Rwanda is trying to become a Singapore of Central Africa and that it is doing quite a bit better than most countries in the region in terms of good governance.
There is a good debate to be had about this, but will confine myself to a small nuance in the article: "Rwanda wants to be a regional trade hub, linking all the areas where Kinyarwanda is spoken (see map)."

Go to his blog to read the entire article, if you wish :)

And happy Monday!
