Some Rwanda Resources: Sites with content provided by Rwandans

Rwanda National Development Gateway. www.rwandagateway.org/index.php3
The slogan for this site is, “Everything you need to know about Rwanda”. I think that means “Everything you need to know about Rwanda Mzungu”.

The New Times. Rwanda’s premium English-language daily. www.newtimes.co.rw
See for yourself how un-free Rwanda’s free press. This paper reads like a parade for the government of Rwanda.

La Nouvelle Releve. A government newpaper in French. www.orinfor.gov.rw/DOCS/lnr.htm
This one is as entertaining as watching Elaine of Seinfeld-fame dance!

Rwanda Information Exchange. A Comprehensive site that includes lots of debate on anti-Tutsi sentiment in Europe. www.rwanda.net
