Woha. I agree with your conclusion wrt Rwanda (or at least what I think your conclusions are - you never elaborated).

My point is: If you want to communicate, make it easy to be understood. Please provide a link "the wikipedia article[0] is a good introduction".

Telling people to ~"just do the research" only warrants one answer "I did, you are wrong. Your turn."

Nobody has to invest more time into a response to a comment than the original commenter if the original does not contain a single reference/verifiable fact.
