As I first-time visitor to Rwanda, it's hard not to be mystified by the mismatch between the ferocious events of just 15 years ago and apparent calm and prosperity in Rwanda, which aspires to be the hub of an economically vibrant East Africa.
Kama mtu ambaye ndiyo mara yake ya kwanza kwenda Rwanda, ni vigumu mtu kutoshangazwa na kutoshabihiana kati ya matukio ya kutisha sana yaliyotokea miaka 15 iliyopita na hali inayoonekana kuwa ya utulivu mkubwa na ustawi wa aina yake inayotawala sasa nchini humo, ambapo nchi hiyo inaonekana kuwa kiini cha uchumi unashamiri kwa kasi wa Afrika ya Mashariki.
