One more visitor

Our minister of development aid visited Rwanda this week. He visited visited the north, south and Kigali. Something a normal person would cost at least a week, but with the aid of a helicopter and the organisational skills of our secretary he did it in two days.

Of course a visitor brings presents, so the minister could promise some money we actually already commited to as an embassy.

The minister was briefed on what to say, but we were not sure how he would say it and what the reaction of the Rwandan government would be. Because of the situation with the germans we hope this will not extend to other EU countries. The situation is still a little bit tense, but things seem to going back to normal.
