Taarifa Rwanda

The rebirth of Rwanda, 27 years after the genocide against the Tutsi in 1994, is partly through the contribution of artistic works of architects; who conceive concepts which embellish the country’s cities, model landscapes; creative interior spaces.
In Kigali, alike other cities of the country, glass towers of different shapes are erected on commercial and residential areas, similar arteries light up; wooded and flowery urban landscapes replace old neighborhoods; monuments take place in public spaces, in short; the city is changing and so are Rwandans.
These works are conceived, designed, supervised by tireless architects.
Taarifa traced one of them. A retired Lieutenant, Vedaste Ngarambe, is a solitary architect with no urban works who transforms and models landscapes and expresses himself by the absolute use of local materials that he values through the execution of his projects.

KIGALI, May 2 (Xinhua) In an April rainy morning in Nyanza district, about a two-hour drive from the Rwandan capital city Kigali, Immaculee Kayitesi was seated at the counter of her dairy business, listening to the radio, while busy passing a bottle of sanitizer to one of her customers to sanitize his hands before buying milk products from her company.
Dozens of customers lined up waiting to be served with different milk products such as yogurt, pasteurized milk, and fermented milk in the shop while scores of workers were operating milk processing machines to convert milk into different end products in another section of the company, named Zirakamwa Meza Dairy.

KIGALI, April 7 (Xinhua) After 27 years, Jean Damascene Renzaho, a 45-year-old Rwandan genocide perpetrator, is moving freely around Kigali s Ntunga village where he committed the crime.
One could hear him cracking stories while sitting peacefully chatting with relatives of his victims. But when the topic went to the 1994 Rwandan genocide against Tutsi, he became remorseful.
On April 7, 1994, the first day of the three-month-long genocide that killed over 1 million people, a brigade commander, police officers and local leaders arrived in Ntunga, and ordered all able-bodied youths to follow them to hunt for soldiers of Rwanda Patriotic Army (RPA), the armed wing of the current ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF).

Summary
The year of disappointment that was 2020 had brought about an avalanche of dashed plans and cancelled trips.
As 2021 unravelled, there was a glimmer of hope that things were going to go back to normal or at least some semblance of it.
This premature excitement would be short-lived. The first month of the new decade brought with it a new lockdown one that was enforced on January 18th.
