Out of all the African countries, why Rwanda?

It's criss-crossed with fiber, the ICT policy is very open and the leadership friendly. Also it's a small country.
And landlocked, no natural resources, just a lot of people, so they need to export something to get foreign currency. IT is ideal so they are educating for that.

Also safe and not corrupt. Can't bribe yourself out of a speeding ticket there...

When I hear Rwanda I can't thinking the genocide that happened there only 23 years ago. Has it changed so much since those days?
It's completely unrecognizable.

They've made incredible strides.
