Rwanda has been in the global news quite a lot recently I know - since it's not usually anywhere near the media radar.
The situation with the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo - formerly Zaire) is complicated.
Luckily the BBC have provided a clear overview of the situation see http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3075537.stm
in Kigali we have not noticed many differences, last weekend we saw more NGO vehicles in town, as they came down from Gisenyi (for the geographically challenged Gisenyi is just over the border from Goma in DRC where the fighting is currently centred).
How this will situation will be handled by the international community in the face of the global economic crisis remains to be seen.
