I think it was eight years before Rwanda (together with Burundi) joined the East African Community in 2009, I was still editor at The Monitor, in Kampala, and we sat down with President Paul Kagame in Kigali for an interview.
I asked about the troubles in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where Rwanda and Uganda were still embroiled in the murky conflict; corruption; post-genocide reconstruction, and other grim things that afflict daily political life in Africa.
