FLY THE DREAM OF AFRICA | Welcome
HOW DO YOU TRAVEL? Mr. Rex A.G. Nijhof
What is your favourite destination? I don’t have a single favourite destination. I do enjoy traveling to the South of Germany where my daughter attends boarding school and wherever we can travel together. Most recently, we have been able to explore more parts of East Africa together, including Rwanda of course. In wintertime, we enjoy going to the Alps where we spend our days outside skiing in the fresh air.

Dear RwandAir Team,
Dear RwandAir team,
I’m writing in regards to the cancelled flight from Dubai. I’m a frequent traveler from Harare, Zimbabwe and a trader too.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you guys for a safe travel to Dubai and back. My client (Aggie the dance queen) and I enjoyed the trip very much.
Despite the cancellation of your flight from Dubai, which we later learnt was a result of a technical issue and the delays that we encountered, I would also like to say thank you, for the way we were treated. My personal experience has left me very humbled in how you can turn a bad experience into something different. We were accommodated in a very good hotel and were provided with meals. On the second day, we couldn’t connect straight to Harare so we opted to stay behind. Being pregnant, I developed some discomfort and required medical attention and one gentleman who I came to learn heads your UAE team (Mr. Timothy) reacted very fast and within a very short time I was taken to the hospital. What amazed me the most is that this man later on in the evening came to see me and was very concerned. He took me to buy medicine and ensured that I checked out last, facilitated transport to the airport and also came to assist to check me and my friends in. He made sure t till last minute that I was well taken care of. For that reason, I felt and still feel very humbled. We had stressed him so much, he had not slept at all for hours but at no time did he loose his cool, and acted very professional especially with everyone asking lots of questions.
God bless
I truly appreciate Timothy, his patience, professionalism and his calmness during this entire time. I’m very happy, headed home and for sure I will continue flying RwandAir. I’ve actually spoken to a group we have to see if we can all be flying RwandAir.
May God bless RwandAir, may Timothy be blessed, and this is truly memorable for me.
Regards
Oscar Mwalo
Dear RwandAir, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the quality customer service provided by Peter Kamuti. He contacted me on July 28th, 2018 regarding my lost luggage. I was initially on a flight to Seychelles in December 2017 through a different airline, when upon my arrival I noticed that my bag did not arrive. I worked with the airline for months to try to locate it, but alas there was no hope of its return. It was amazing to receive the call from Peter that Saturday morning to notify me that the bag was found in Uganda by RwandAir. Peter promptly had the bag sent to Malawi and it arrived in 3 days. He worked with me despite my anxiety about the situation. He was incredibly patient and understanding. I am ecstatic to have had the bag returned fully intact. Please share my praises with Mr. Kamuti and his supervisors!
All the best, Deborah M. Rodríguez García, MA Africa Education Programme Coordinator

24 hours in Addis Ababa
Addis Ababa is the capital city of Ethiopia, the oldest independent country in Africa. This vibrant and fascinating city offers many cultural landmarks, culinary delights, world class coffee and exciting music experiences. Due to its high altitude location, the climate in Addis Ababa is mild but walking or climbing up steps can be a strain so take it easy and enjoy this city at leisure.
By Ilse Lasschuijt What could be more romantic than drifting gracefully over the outskirts of Addis Ababa, moving where the wind will take you, and seeing the sun rise while watching the hills surrounding the city, baboons running in the green forests and villagers tending to their cattle or crops? You will have to get up early to experience the sunrise balloon flights offered by Abyssinia Ballooning but it is worth the lack of sleep. The pilot is an experienced (flying) Dutchman who has made Ethiopia his home. Pick-up in Addis Ababa, a glass of champagne, a flight certificate and full breakfast are included with the balloon trip (www. abyssiniaballooning.com)
24 heures à Addis Abeba Addis Abeba est la capitale de l’Éthiopie, le plus vieux pays indépendant d’Afrique. Cette ville dynamique et fascinante regorge d’une riche culture, de délices culinaires, d’un café de classe mondiale et d’expériences musicales intéressantes. Puisqu’elle est située en altitude, le climat de la ville d’Addis est doux mais marcher ou grimper peuvent demander de gros efforts, prenez donc votre temps et profitez de la ville à loisir.

The birthplace of coffee After such a magnificent start with breakfast and champagne, it is time for a real coffee. Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee so coffee lovers are in for a treat. Small traditional coffee places can be found on every street corner and inside restaurants, hotels and shopping malls. Coffee beans are roasted by hand over charcoal, grounded using a mortar and pestle and brewed in a traditional clay coffee pot known as a jebena. The coffee is served in a small cup. It is dense but not too bitter and has a wonderfully mild aroma. One of the most famous coffee place and the first commercial roaster in the country is Tomoca, a small establishment near the lively Piazza area. You can also buy beans from them to extend the experience at home. After the coffee, take a car up to Mount Entoto for another dramatic view of the expanding city. The drive involves a steep climb to over 3000 metres passing hills with many eucalyptus trees, which offer firewood for the villagers. On top of the hill, lies Saint Mary’s (Maryam) Church where Menelik II was crowned emperor of Ethiopia in 1889. He relocated the capital city of the country to Addis Ababa, which means “New Flower”. The church also offers a small museum.
Quoi de plus romantique que de déambuler gracieusement dans la ville d’Addis Abeba, en allant là où le vent vous porte, et en assistant au lever de soleil en contemplant les collines qui entourent la ville, les babouins qui courent dans les vertes forêts, et les villageois qui s’occupent de leur bétail ou de leur champs ? Vous devrez vous lever tôt pour faire l’expérience des vols en ballon au lever du soleil proposés par Abyssinia Ballooning, mais cela vaut la peine d’écourter sa nuit de sommeil. Le pilote est un hollandais (volant) expérimenté, qui s’est installé en Éthiopie. Le transport à partir d’Addis, une coupe de champagne, un certificat de vol et un petit déjeuner complet sont inclus dans le voyage en ballon (www.abyssiniaballooning.com).
Le lieu de naissance du café Après un début de journée magnifique, avec un petit déjeuner au champagne, il est l’heure de prendre un vrai café. L’Éthiopie est le lieu de naissance du café, les amateurs de ce breuvage vont donc se régaler. On trouve de petits endroits traditionnels où le déguster à tous les coins de rue, et dans les restaurants, les hôtels et les centres commerciaux. Les grains de café sont torréfiés à la main au charbon, moulus au mortier et au pilon, et préparés dans un petit pot traditionnel en argile, appelé jebena. Le café est servi dans une petite tasse, il est dense mais pas très amer et doté d’un arôme merveilleusement doux. Le café le plus célèbre et le premier torréfacteur commercial du pays est Tomoca, un petit établissement proche du très vivant quartier Piazza. Vous pourrez également leur acheter des grains de café pour prolonger l’expérience chez vous. Après votre café, prenez la voiture jusqu’au Mont sacré

Haile Selassi Once back in the city, take a moment to visit the Holy Trinity cathedral, the most sacred Orthodox church in the capital. The church was built in the 1940s by emperor Haile Selassie I and has beautiful glass stained windows. The main altar is dedicated to the Holy Trinity, the two side altars to Saint John the Baptist and Our Lady of mercy. Ceiling paintings show Emperor Haile Selassie holding his speech in the League of Nations during the battle against the Italians. The tombs of emperor Haile Selassie I and his wife can be viewed in one of the back rooms. Around the church is a cemetery where many important historical figures are buried.

Hungry? At the heart of every Ethiopian meal is injera, a spongy pancake made from tef, a sour-wheat-like grain. It is used to sop up the vegetables, spicy curries and meat stews or wot that are ladled on top. On a communal plate, you eat injera with your right hand. There are plenty of family-style places to have a tasty injera for lunch, including many vegetarian options. A popular restaurant is Kategna, just off Bole Road.
d’Entoto, pour un autre point de vue spectaculaire sur la ville en développement. Le trajet comporte une ascension à plus de 3000 mètres, dans des collines couvertes de nombreux eucalyptus (importés), qui fournissent du bois aux villageois. Tout en haut de la colline, se trouve l’ Église de Sainte Marie (Maryam) où Menelik II fut couronné empereur d’Éthiopie en 1889. Il transféra la capitale du pays à Addis Abeba, qui signifie « nouvelle fleur ». L’église renferme également un petit musée.
Haïlé Sélassié Une fois de retour en ville, prenez le temps de visiter la cathédrale de la Sainte Trinité, l’église Orthodoxe la plus sacrée de la capitale. L’église fut construite dans les années 1940 par l’empereur Haïlé Sélassié Ier et est dotée de magnifiques vitraux. L’autel principal est dédié à la Sainte Trinité. Les deux autels latéraux sont dédiés à Saint Jean-Baptiste et Notre Dame de la Miséricorde. Les peintures au plafond représentent l’Empereur Haïlé Sélassié donnant sont discours à la Société des Nations lors de la bataille contre les italiens. Les tombes de l’Empereur Haïlé Sélassié Ier et de sa femme sont visibles dans une des salles à l’arrière du bâtiment. Autour de l’église se trouve un cimetière où de nombreuses figures historiques importantes sont enterrées. Vous commencez à avoir faim ? Au coeur de tous les repas Ethiopiens on trouve l’injera, une crêpe spongieuse préparée à partir de tef, une céréale semblable au blé. Elle est utilisée pour consommer les légumes, les currys épicés et les ragoûts de viande ou wot qui y sont généreusement servis sur le dessus. Sur un plat collectif, on mange l’injera avec sa main droite. Les restaurants familiaux où déguster un savoureux injera pour le déjeuner ne manquent pas, y compris ceux offrant des options végétariennes. Un des restaurants les plus populaires se trouve à proximité de Bole Road et s’appelle Kategna.

L’ancêtre Lucy Avec un estomac bien rempli, il est maintenant temps de visiter le Musée National. Le point culminant de la visite est sans nul doute « Lucy », nom donné aux ossements d’une hominidé Australopithèque de 3,2 millions d’années, découverts dans l’Est de l’Éthiopie en 1974. Lucy marchait debout et il est fascinant non seulement de voir les réels ossements mais également une habile reconstruction du squelette complet. Le musée propose une excellente exposition qui sert de rappel de la richesse de l’histoire archéologique, paléontologique et culturelle de l’Éthiopie.
Ancient Lucy With bellies filled to satisfaction, it is time to visit the National Museum. Its highlight is undoubtedly 3.2 million year old “Lucy”, the skeletal remains of an Australopithecine hominid that was discovered in eastern Ethiopia in 1974. Lucy walked upright and it is fascinating to see not only the real bones but also a skilful reconstruction of the complete skeleton. The museum offers an excellent exhibition which serves as a reminder of the rich archaeological, paleontological and cultural history of Ethiopia. If you are ready to shop, you can start at one of the largest open air markets of Africa, Merkato, where you can buy anything from textiles to food and car parts. If the sheer size of this market seems overwhelming there are many smaller markets such as Shola market for everyday Ethiopian goods or Shiromeda market, for Ethiopian traditional clothes,scarfs and local crafts.

Dr NKUSI AGABE Emmy MD ,MMED,Deputy Chief Executive Officer at Oshen- King Faisal Hospital
The mere mention of neurosurgery leads most to think of referral abroad to distant hospitals which comes at expensive costs. This is often because that has been the case for decades and most Africans did not know better. However, a facility in Kigali, King Faisal Hospital has been working to change the reputation of the region in regards to neurosurgery. The impacts are increasingly visible. For one to well understand the approach, history and qualification of King Faisal Hospital in neurosurgery, it’s probably as important to understand the people behind the process and progress. Dr. Emmy Agabe Nkusi is one of the key people behind the advancements of neurosurgery in Rwanda. His resume, qualifications and responsibilities are a long read. He is a chief consultant neurosurgeon, Medical Director and Deputy CEO at Oshen- King Faisal Hospital. He is also an Associate Professor and Programme Director of Neurosurgery Training Programme at the University of Rwanda. After training in the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa Dr. Nkusi returned to Rwanda at a time when expertise in the field was not much. Beginning 2009, Dr. Nkusi and other professionals in the sector came together to have concerted efforts in neurosurgery. The synergy saw the formation of Rwanda Neurosurgical Centre in 2010 which was based at King Faisal Hospital. Among the major goals of the Centre was to train, build and share knowledge among personnel across levels in the field. Aware of the urgent need of Neurosurgery services, Dr. Nkusi and his team 24

HOW KING FAISAL HOSPITAL BUILT A REPUTABLE NEUROSURGERY CENTRE By Collins Mwai implemented priority areas including acquiring necessary equipment with facilitation by the Rwandan Government. By 2013, the Rwanda Neurosurgery training programme was in place. “We also ensured that the surgeons are qualified and certified to work beyond the country” he adds. Courtesy of the efforts, Oshen-King Faisal Hospital can now handle most if not all neurosurgery related cases including neurovascular complex brain tumours and Spine related ailments, among others. Due to the efforts, Rwanda has reduced the need for patients to fly out seeking neurosurgery related facilitation. The development has put Kigali on the map as a destination for neurosurgery services from across the region. “We previously had to send out a large number of patients. Now we are able to handle patients from Rwanda and from within the region with ease,” Dr. Nkusi says. To improve medical tourism facilities, Oshen Healthcare has made necessary adjustments in King Faisal Hospital including removing the requirements for prior registration for foreigners. The neurosurgery department is complemented by other services such as physiotherapy, intensive care unit, internal medicine, pediatrics, advanced imaging services, laboratory and nursing among others. With over 20 destinations across Africa, RwandAir has also improved access for patients from across the region.

Louise Mushikiwabo : fille d’Afrique By | Par: Arnaud Nkusi Si vous tapez le prénom Louise dans un moteur de recherche très fréquenté, Mushikiwabo arrive instantanément parmi les premières suggestions. Les résultats te montreront sa biographie, des articles d’opinion, des interviews et d’innombrables articles. Louise Mushikiwabo n’est plus à présenter, sinon pour évoquer certains aspects de sa personnalité méconnus du grand public, et qui pourraient éclairer sur certaines des raisons qui font d’elle une véritable Femme d’Etat. C’était au début du mois de Septembre 2011 que j’ai eu l’honneur de rencontrer Louise Mushikiwabo, lorsque je faisais partie de l’équipe des médias couvrant Rwanda Day en France. Cet évènement unique avait rassemblé la diaspora des quatre coins du monde, ainsi que des amis du pays des mille collines lors d’une rencontre avec le Chef de l’État rwandais ainsi que des membres de son gouvernement. C’est à cette occasion que j’ai pu découvrir moi-même son don pour aborder des questions très sérieuses avec la plus grande aisance.
Daughter of Africa: Louise Mushikiwabo If you search the name Louise in one of the popular search engines, the surname Mushikiwabo will be among the first auto-complete suggestions in seconds. The results page will load withher biography, op-ed articles, interviews, and countless news articles. Louise Mushikiwabo no longer needs to be introduced, except maybe to highlight some aspects of her personality unknown to the public which might help shed light on the reasons why she is a true states woman. Back in early September 2011, I had the honour of meeting Louise Mushikiwabo. It was during Rwanda Day in France, which I had attended as part of the media team. The one of a kind gathering had brought together the diaspora from the four corners of the world, along with friends of the land of the thousand hills in an encounter with the Rwandan Head of State and government officials. It is then that I discovered

Son trait de caractère le plus remarquable: son sens de l’humanité! Son empathie est telle que toute rencontre avec elle se transforme en un moment de qualité même quand elle est sur le point de reprendre l’avion pour un vol long-courrier et que la fatigue légitime se lit sur les visages alentours. Arborant une coiffure impeccable, elle marche droit, arrive souriante, disant poliment bonjour sans feindre sa bonne humeur, comme si tout allait bien, dans le meilleur des mondes. Dieu sait que le monde a connu des jours meilleurs, mais les vrais diplomates se permettent rarement d’être affecté par cela et savent joindre au savoirfaire, le calme et la délicatesse pour mener intelligemment les contrats qu’ils négocient. Que Louise Mushikiwabo en fasse
partie n’est qu’une évidence lorsque l’on imagine ce qu’elle a traversé comme rudes combats. Deuxième trait de caractère: sa résilience. Personne ne pourrait prétendre ‘‘savoir’’ ce qu’elle a vécu mieux qu’elle, cadette d’une famille de neuf enfants, que rien ne prédestinait à une brillante carrière politique, internationale. Professeur d’anglais et sœur de l’ancien leader de l’opposition Landoald Ndasingwa, elle échappa au pire des destins à cause d’une décision précédente de quitter son pays natal pour les États-Unis. Elle y suivait une formation d’interprétariat en 1994, quand son frère, sa femme et leurs deux enfants ont été massacré lors du Génocide contre les Tutsi. L’heure était plus que grave. Louise Mushikiwabo mesura

that she has a knack for discussing serious business with the greatest of ease. This is her most prominent feature, her sense of humanity. Her empathy is such that any encounter with her turns into quality time. This, even when she is just about to hop on another long-haul flight to attend yet another meeting and fatigue is visibly displayed on all the faces around her. She is always sporting an impeccable hairstyle, she walks straight with a smile on her face and greets everyone with genuine warmth, as if everything was well in the world. God knows that the world has seen better days, but true experienced diplomats rarely allow themselves to be affected by this when they must deal with one negotiation after the other, with tact, poise, and acumen.To say that Louise Mushikiwabo is one of them is stating the obvious, particularly knowing the rough battles she’s had to overcome. Second feature: her resilience. No one can claim to know the obstacles she has surmounted better than her. Hailing from the city of Kigali, the youngest of nine children, she never envisioned such a brilliant international political career. Once an English teacher and the sister of the head of the former opposition party Landoald Ndasingwa, she escaped the worst of fates because of an earlier decision to leave her motherland for the United States. She was undergoing training as an interpreter there in 1994, when her brother, his wife and their two children became victims of the Genocide against the Tutsi. In what was a very dark hour, Louise Mushikiwabo understood the consequences of her country being abandoned by the international community. Faced with such tragedy, she felt powerless. In 2005, a book was released under her name; a sort of therapeutic undertaking to help her overcome the trauma while bidding farewell to her own, in dignity. Going home to Rwanda and participating in rebuilding the country and its tarnished reputation arguably became part of her healing process. She had barely set foot on the ground when she left for Tunis where she was put in charge of the communication department of the African Development Bank, then headed by Donald Kaberuka, Rwanda’s former Minister of Finance and Economic Planning. Third feature: her work ethic. A few months later, she was back in Kigali where she was appointed Minister of Information. She started working on the era of digitization as its prominence was growing on the continent, before SEPTEMBER-NOVEMBER 2018 | 27

les conséquences de l’abandon de son pays par la communauté internationale et face à une telle tragédie, elle se sentit impuissante. Elle publie en 2005, comme une thérapie, un récit impressionnant qui l’aidera sans doute à surmonter son traumatisme tout en disant ‘‘adieu’’ aux siens, dans la dignité. Sa ‘‘guérison’’ passa sans doute par la décision de rentrer au bercail et de mettre la main à la pâte. A peine était-elle disponible, qu’elle partit pour Tunis où elle fut chargée du département de la communication de la Banque Africaine de Développement alors dirigé par Donald Kaberuka, l’ex-Ministre Rwandais des Finances et de la Planification Economique.
Troisième trait de caractère: travailleuse, c’est peu dire ! Quelques mois plus tard, retour sur Kigali où elle est nommée Ministre de l’Information. Elle commence à travailler sur l’ère de la digitalisation qui souffle sur les médias africains quelques mois avant d’être appelée à gagner en 2009, le portefeuille des Affaires Etrangères qui lui va déjà comme un gant, même si elle n’y a pas encore fait ses preuves. Un officiel qui l’apprécie particulièrement me confiera lors d’une discussion qu’il a ‘‘foi en elle, et que bientôt elle étonnera beaucoup de personnes’’.
moving on to heading the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation in 2009, which already fit her like a glove, even if she hadn’t proven herself yet. An official who really appreciates her, recently confided that in those early days he had “faith in her, and she will soon surprise many people.”
Fourth feature: her inborn gift for communication. She has a fine perception of things and is capable of smoothing things over, which makes her one of the best assets of the successive governments, who never saw fit to move her from her position in almost a decade. Then, seemingly out of the blue and to everyone’s surprise, the Rwandan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Cooperation and East African Community is announced as candidate for the position of Secretary General of the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie. This news was backed up by the public endorsement of presidents Paul Kagame and Emmanuel Macron during a joint press conference in Paris. Her prowess is now acknowledged far beyond the borders of the African continent where she enjoys almost unanimous support. The announcement of her candidacy was highly unexpected, given the nature of the relationship between the two countries. The fact that English took on a new leading role in Rwanda, which did not demote the status of
Quatrième trait de caractère: Son don inné de la communication. Sa personnalité empreinte d’une fine perception des choses et sa capacité à arranger les choses font d’elle l’un des meilleurs atouts des gouvernements successifs qui ne l’ont jamais bougé de son poste pendant presque dix ans. Puis… à la surprise générale : la candidature de la Ministre Rwandaise des Affaires Etrangères et de la Coopération à la tête de l’Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie. Ce n’est pas tout, elle a le soutien officiel des Présidents Paul Kagame et Emmanuel Macron qui le font savoir lors d’une conférence de presse conjointe, à Paris. Ses compétences sont désormais reconnues au-delà des frontières africaines où elle n’était déjà plus loin de faire l’unanimité.

Rien n’était plus improbable, étant donné la nature des relations entre les deux pays. L’ouverture du Rwanda à la langue de Shakespeare - qui n’a pas empêché celle de Molière d’être toujours reconnue comme une des langues officielles - et les entorses diplomatiques de triste mémoire, semblaient avoir éloigné pour longtemps l’Hexagone du pays des mille collines. Cinquième trait de caractère: une battante, mais dans l’humilité et le respect. Ce retournement soudain, avec la candidature la plus improbable, a fait parler beaucoup de gens. Elle a gardé le sourire, affirmant lors d’une interview à Jeune Afrique que ‘‘l’Organisation est l’un des groupes de lobbying entre États où les enjeux de politique internationale sont discutés’’. Elle savait que l’annonce officielle de sa campagne ne serait pas comprise par l’opinion publique, mais celle qui a toujours souhaité une carrière à l’internationale avait en fait calculé sa décision extrêmement bien. Louise Mushikiwabo ne se frotte pas encore les mains pour savourer ce qui semble être une victoire certaine. Celle qui ne met jamais la charrue avant les bœufs sait pertinemment que rien n’est gagné à l’avance même si les voyants sont au vert. C’est à Erevan en Arménie que le dernier round sera joué au mois d’Octobre. En attendant, le Rwanda, l’Union Africaine et sa campagne occupent pleinement la marathonienne qui passent presqu’autant de temps dans les airs que sur le sol. Toujours avec le sourire, celui d’une fille africaine.

French as one of the official languages - along with the unfortunate diplomatic rows, seemed to have created a distance for a while between the Land of the Thousand Hills and the Hexagon. Fifth feature: her fighter spirit, coupled with humility. The recent development since the surprising announcement had many people talking. Louise Mushikiwabo kept her usual smile when she stated during an interview with Jeune Afrique that, “the Organisation is one of the lobbying groups between countries, where international political stakes are discussed”. She knew that her move for office on the international stage would not be understood by the public, but she had in fact calculated her decision extremely well. Louise Mushikiwabo never puts the cart before the horse, which is why she is not rushing to celebrate what seems to be an almost certain victory. She knows that nothing is settled yet, despite all signs being positive. The last round will be played in Erevan, Armenia, in October. In the meantime, Rwanda, the African Union and her campaign are keeping her very busy, as she spends almost as much time in the air as on the ground. And she maintains that lasting smile on her face, the smile of an African daughter. Above: Kibuye/Rwanda - 08/26/2016: Teacher and pupils at mathematics lesson in a classroom in a school in Africa.

a melting pot of African students By | Par: Davy Ingabire
Education is the key to a good future and a valuable degree can often open many doors, or at least increase one’s chances of a head start to an attractive career path. There was a time when African parents had little choice but to send their children to Western schools so that they could be among those who attended the most respected universities in the world and in turn gain access to better opportunities. Luckily, today, the trend is reversing, and a growing number of prestigious universities are making their home on the African continent. In Rwanda for example, Carnegie Mellon University and Oklahoma Christian University have opened campuses in the capital city Kigali, where they offer master’s level programs. Though they are not the most accessible financially speaking, students who enrol in their programs eventually graduate with an American degree without ever leaving the comfort of their homeland. Some of the universities offer scholarships to the most deserving students, such as Kepler University, which has been based in Rwanda for a few years, and the Pan African institution African Leadership University (ALU), which recently opened a branch in the heart of Kigali.
Kigali, le melting pot d’étudiants africains L’éducation c’est l’avenir, un bon diplôme universitaire ouvre les portes, ou au moins augmente les chances de se positionner sur la voie des carrières les plus courtisées. Il fut un temps où les parents africains n’avaient d’autres choix que d’envoyer leurs enfants en occident pour justement faire partie de cette élite ayant fréquenté les institutions universitaires les plus respectés dans le monde. Heureusement aujourd’hui, la tendance s’inverse et de plus en plus de prestigieuses universités occidentales viennent vers les étudiants africains sur le continent. Au Rwanda par exemple, Carnegie Melon ou Oklahoma Christian University ont ouvert des campus et cursus parallèles à leurs programmes américains et même si ce n’est pas les plus accessibles en termes de couts financiers, à la clé, ce sont quand-même des diplômes américains décrochés tout en étant resté dans le confort de chez soi. D’autres universités offrent des bourses d’études aux candidats les plus

As for Fiona Awuor Bengo, from Kenya, she was attracted to the Kepler University program and its ‘partnership’ with the Southern New Hampshire University, which awards an American degree.

Beyond their education, these young students come from all over Africa to not only warm up to the culture of Rwanda, their host country, but also to learn about the various cultures represented by the diverse student body at their respective universities. “Up to now, my stay in Rwanda has been great, I am in love with the country’s culture. For example, I love participating in umuganda (the monthly community work session) and trying to speak the national language by saying mwaramutse (good morning) to the people I meet”, said Gloria Rukomeza, 25, a Communication Management student at Kepler, originally from the DRC.
Au-delà de leur éducation, ces jeunes étudiants venus des quatre coins d’Afrique profitent de l’occasion pour non seulement s’ouvrir à la culture du Rwanda qui les accueille mais aussi à celle des pays dont les autres étudiants sont originaires « jusqu’à maintenant, mon séjour au Rwanda est une belle expérience, je suis amoureuse de la culture du pays. J’adore par exemple participer à l’Umuganda (la session des travaux communautaires mensuels) et essayer de parler la langue nationale, dire « mwaramutse » (bonjour) à ceux que j’y rencontre » raconte Gloria Rukomeza, 25ans originaire de la RDC et étudiante en Communication Management à Kepler.

Her classmate Fiona appreciates the opportunity to connect with the many students from the region. Victorien, the student from Cameroon, studying Computer Science at ALU has opted for another way to get acquainted with the country’s culture.
Si tous les 3, Victorien, Fiona et Gloria s’accordent sur le fait que le peuple rwandais est assez calme comparé à ceux de leurs pays et que leurs nourritures locales leur manquent, ils ne tarissent pas d’éloge sur la ville de Kigali qu’ils habitent « j’adore la sécurité dans cette ville ! » s’exclame Fiona, la kenyane et Gloria

Though they sorely miss the food from their motherlands, they are also full of praise for the city that has embraced their presence.

Sambaza look like tiny sardines but they are caught in the fresh waters of Lake Kivu, the lake which marks the border between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo and lies at the foot of the Virunga volcano chain. At the end of each day, just before sunset, fishermen along the Lake Kivu shores leave their villages and set out on their boats onto the lake to catch sambaza. They maneuver their triplehulled wooden boats with poles, as they paddle onto the vast dark lake. It is not without danger. The waters of Lake Kivu hold methane and carbon dioxide. An earthquake or storm could potentially release the gas and make the lake pop like a bottle of champagne. But as long as the sambaza are able to survive the gas, the fishermen will continue to fish. The fishermen cast their nets and use lamps and torches to attract the fish. They stay on the lake throughout the night and return in the morning, when
Les secrets des Sambaza
Secrets Would you eat a whole fish, head, bones tails and all? Lots of people from many cultures do and it is often considered a delicacy. Usually the fish are small and of the saltywater variety, which are easy to dry, deep fry or simmer: anchovies, smelt, whiting or baby sardines. But Rwanda has other fish to fry: the delicious and delicate sambaza. By | Par Ilse Lasschuijt
Mangeriez-vous un poisson entier, avec la tête, les arrêtes de sa queue et tout ce qui s’en suit ? De nombreuses personnes issues de différentes cultures le font et cela est considéré comme un met raffiné. Les poissons sont habituellement petits et sont en général d’une variété d’eau de mer, facile à sécher, à frire ou à faire mijoter : les anchois, l’éperlan, le merlan ou les sardines. Mais le Rwanda a d’autres poissons à frire : les délicieux et délicats sambaza. Les Sambaza ressemblent à de petites sardines mais ont les pêches dans les eaux douces du Lac Kivu, le lac représentant la frontière entre le Rwanda et la République Démocratique du Congo et se trouvant au pied de la chaîne de volcans des Virunga. À la fin de chaque journée, juste avant que le soleil ne se couche, les pêcheurs le long des rives du lac quittent leurs villages et partent en bateau sur le lac pour attraper des sambaza. Ils manoeuvrent leur bateaux en bois à triple coque avec des perches, alors qu’ils pagaient sur le vaste et sombre lac. Cela n’est pas sans danger. Les eaux du Lac Kivu contiennent

the women set out to the markets to sell the fish, dried or fresh.
Secret ingredient
Sambaza Recipe Use only fresh sambaza from the market. Rinse and pat dry and sprinkle with lemon juice. Dust the tiny fish in a mixture of wheat flour, salt (and the secret ingredient) and pan-fry. Serve hot on a large sharing plate, with wedges of lemon and tartar sauce. Recette de sambaza Utilisez des sambaza frais du marché. Rincez-les et séchez-les en tapotant et arrosez-les de jus de citron. Saupoudrez les petits poissons d’un mélange de farine de blé, de sel (et de l’ingrédient secret) et faites-les frire à la poêle. Servezles chauds sur une grande assiette à partager, avec des rondelles de citron et de la sauce tartare.
Although fish consumption in Rwanda is relatively low compared to other countries, most Rwandans, especially in the Lake Kivu area, grew up with the taste of sambaza. Children love sambaza, and together with potato fries they make a mouth-watering Rwandan happy meal. Of the many excellent restaurants in Kigali that offer sambaza on their menu, Repub Lounge, an upscale, trendy African restaurant in Kimihurura is the best known. According to the manager Solange Katarebe, sambaza are without
du méthane et du dioxide de carbone. Un tremblement de terre ou une tempête pourraient potentiellement libérer le gaz et faire exploser le lac tel une bouteille de champagne. Mais tant que les sambaza sont en mesure de survivre au gaz, les pêcheurs continueront de pêcher. Les pêcheurs lancent leurs filets et utilisent des lampes et des torches pour attirer les poissons. Ils passent toute la nuit sur le lac et rentrent au matin, lorsque les femmes partent au marché pour vendre les poissons, frais ou séchés.
Ingrédient secret Même si la consommation de poisson reste relativement faible au Rwanda par rapport à d’autres pays, la plupart des Rwandais, en particulier dans les régions autour du lac Kivu, ont grandi avec le goût

They can also be enjoyed with a simple lemon mayonnaise, or even a dash of pili pili. The tiny fish are delivered fresh every morning to the restaurant and when asked about the recipe, Solange hesitates as Chef Gerard is very protective of what he calls his secret ingredient. But she is willing to share the general recipe without the little touch that make sambaza at Repub Lounge so special. “People will just have to come to the restaurant to figure it out”, she laughs. “It seems like such a simple recipe, but the trick is to keep the fish crisp and not soggy. And to prepare and serve them with plenty of love.”

Judith Mbogo’s eyes light up with both nostalgia and anticipation at the mention of anything travel. It is quite evident that she is looking forward to her next adventure as she savors the memories of gone days. The allure of experiencing a totally different culture that allows her to sample foods, music, architecture and other tourist attractions often over powers her out of her comfort zone. It wasn’t always like this. She, like many others, was always concerned about the cost implications and fear of stepping out into the unknown. She however got over the latter when memories of her childhood reminded her of how much fun she had traveling with her family across Kenya over the holidays. She particularly enjoyed the road trips to her father’s work-based recreational facilities and how much peace she felt interacting with nature. Today, several years later, she is proud to have visited twelve countries. Ever fulfilling were these trips, that it is hard for her to pick a favorite destination. “Every country offered me remarkable and unforgettable experiences.

Cependant elle a dépassé cette dernière lorsque des souvenirs de son enfance lui ont rappelé à quel point elle s’amusait lors de voyages en famille au Kenya pendant les vacances. Elle appréciait tout particulièrement les voyages en voiture en direction des installations de loisir du travail de son père, et à quel point elle s’est sentie en paix en interaction avec la nature. Aujourd’hui, plusieurs années plus tard, elle est fière d’avoir visité douze pays. Ces voyages furent tellement épanouissants qu’il lui est difficile de choisir une destination préférée. « Chaque pays m’a apporté des expériences remarquables et inoubliables. Mon voyage en Thaïlande fut rempli d’adrénaline, entre les balades à dos d’éléphant, les caresses aux tigres, en passant par la succulente nourriture de rue. L’architecture au Maroc était fascinante. La visite des pyramides en Égypte et la croisière sur le Nil m’ont permis de rayer plusieurs éléments de ma liste de choses à faire avant de mourir. » L’hospitalité des locaux est en général rafraîchissante. Judith est constamment surprise par les saveurs alléchantes que les cuisines locales que ses différentes destinations ont à offrir. « J’adore essayer de nouvelles choses, surtout la nourriture locale. Ça peut paraître dégoutant mais j’ai mangé des testicules de buffle au Maroc. C’était génial ! Très sucré ! »

Judith feels blessed to have covered twelve countries so far and is looking forward to three more before the end of 2018. She uses the more experienced travelers as inspiration. So just start, even if it is within your country, it will grow with time. Then take it one country a time.
Travel is affordable. Granted. Those Instagram photos make it look like people are spending thousands of dollars on satisfying their wanderlust cravings. This might be true in some cases, but a lot of times, travelers devise ways of lightening the costs.
“Très souvent certains ont tendance à penser que mes voyages sont sponsorisés. La vérité c’est que je suis mon propre sponsor. Il faut délibérément économiser pour les voyages. Cela veut dire faire quelques sacrifices ici et là. Cependant, je n’ai pas de regrets. Les expériences en valent vraiment la peine ». Judith recommande également les voyages en groupe. Voyager en groupe permet d’avoir accès à des logements moins chers et à des forfaits. « Essayez toujours de partir hors saison. Les vols sont moins chers et les sites moins chargés. Les propriétaires cherchent peut-être à remplir leur logements, des réductions sont donc inévitables. »
“A common misconception is that I have someone sponsoring my trips. The truth is, I am my own sponsor. You must be very intentional about putting money aside for travel. That means making sacrifices here and there. I have no regrets though. The experiences are totally worth it.”
Utilisez vos réseaux d’amis et de famille dans différentes villes. Ils accepteront peut-être de vous loger à faible coût voire même gratuitement.
Judith also advocates for group travel. The more the better. Traveling as a group often attracts cheaper accommodation and package deals.
« Les tours opérateurs ont toujours des programmes d’activités très strictes lorsqu’ils organisent vos voyages. Cela peut être bien car cela vous offre une certaine sécurité, mais je préfère planifier mes propres voyages pour pouvoir être un peu plus spontanée dans mes exploits. »
“Always try to travel during off peak seasons. Flights are cheaper, and sites are less crowded. Proprietors may be looking to fill up accommodation spots, so discounts are inevitable.” Make use of friends and family networks in different cities. They might be willing to accommodate you at little or no cost.
Plan your own trips. “Tour companies always have a strict schedule of activities around your trip. This can be good because it offers you some

Expect the unexpected. “Don’t expect everything to go your way, however much you had everything planned out. Your reaction to the unexpected will always determine the tangent your trip takes.” Judith recalls an incident in Morocco where a last-minute decision to spend an extra night in Marrakesh cost her both money and time. It was truly frustrating when she realized she would miss her direct flight to Nairobi. The language barrier did not help either. She had to spend an additional four days in Casablanca waiting for the next available flight to Nairobi. It was her first solo travel experience and it was almost depressing to be alone and helpless away from home. Fortunately, she made acquaintances with a local who worked at the airport and ultimately got her to try the buffalo testicles delicacy. However much she prefers traveling in a group, Judith says that it is easier to make new friends and network fluidly when traveling solo as one is not pre-occupied with trying to meet everyone’s needs. Her constantly expanding worldview has her appreciating the different values across the globe and loving her uniqueness even more. “I have learnt to embrace my own culture and wear it ever so proudly. I am always keen to tell someone about my country Kenya and teach them a little Kiswahili here and there.” Inspired? Challenged? You can follow her adventures on Instagram @judithmbogo

La barrière de la langue n’a pas non plus aidé à arranger la situation. Elle a dû passer quatre jours supplémentaires à Casablanca en attendant le prochain vol disponible pour Nairobi. C’était la première fois qu’elle voyageait seule et c’était presque déprimant de se sentir seule et impuissante loin de chez soi. Heureusement qu’elle a lié connaissance avec un local qui travaillait à l’aéroport et qui au final lui a permis de goûter les délicieuses testicules de buffle. Même si elle préfère voyager en groupe, Judith nous dit également qu’il est plus facile de se faire de nouveaux amis lorsque l’on voyage seul, étant donné que personne ne se soucie de répondre aux besoins de chacun. Sa vision du monde, en constante extension lui permet d’apprécier les différentes valeurs de chacun partout dans le monde, et d’apprécier encore plus son caractère unique. « J’ai appris à adopter ma propre culture et à la porter fièrement. Je suis toujours désireuse de parler de mon pays, le Kenya, à quelqu’un et de leur enseigner quelques mots de Kiswahili ici et là. » Inspiré ? Défié ?

Instead of spending money on sugar, people should spend money on fruits and vegetables says doctor Jean Damascene Kabakambika a specialist doctor in treating diabetes. Dr. Kabakambira studied type 2 diabetes, which occurs when the body does not respond normally to the hormone insulin. One of the risk factors for type 2 diabetes is having a large waistline. Dr. Kabakambira is investigating what range of waistline measurements increases the chance that Rwandans will get either diabetes or heart disease. He hopes that clinicians in Rwanda, or clinicians working with Rwandan immigrants in other countries, can use this information to catch diabetes early. By measuring waistlines, clinicians may also be able to help people who don’t have diabetes yet but are at risk of developing it. Legacy Clinics is now considered as a health service hub due to its advanced health services. This has brought a positive impact to the citizens from Rwanda as well as people from neighboring countries such as Republic Democratic of Congo,Burundi,Tanzania and Uganda by reducing a great number of referrals going abroad to look for advanced health treatment.

Rather than leave all to chance, that somehow, a child will not get severely addicted to the smartphone, adults need to regulate and place controls for the online safety and protection of their children. Research from the ‘Digital Childhood’ report addresses the various childhood development milestones in the digital environment. The UK-based 5Rights Foundation report states that, “children are often the early adopters of emerging services and technologies and therefore the first to spot its contradictions and challenges, yet they are rarely asked their opinion, and are very often the last to be heard.” Looking at digital technology from the child’s point of view, according to the report, can help place perspective on the backdrop of “opportunity, understanding, risk and misunderstanding, which is unusually absent of parental advice and regulatory protections.”

The risks are real for both parents and children when it comes to online exposure to content containing violence and sexual material, bullying, fake news and inapt information. However, research shows that children simply consume a lot of content as long as it is in their reach—hence the need for regulation. Providing the online safety that children need while at the same time allowing them to experience the opportunities that the digital environment presents does not have to be a gamble. There are ways to harness digital technology to the benefit of your child so that they do not turn into gadget junkies and lose their childhoods to the virtual world of digital technology. The digital world is one that was created for those who have the mental agility to regulate and manage their time to discuss ideas in a free and forthright way. This ability is something that children have not yet fully developed. It is a freedom that children should not be left to navigate on their own terms. Digital technology boosts independent thinking and cognitive skills—all very important aspects of early childhood development. Still, parents should view this development as one that needs to be guided toward a safe learning sphere online.

Social Media stress For teenagers, online content consumption is at a new high and has pushed their boundaries to new extremes unlike any other era. Social Media is their go to place for comfort as they grapple with the identity stresses of transitioning between childhood and young adulthood. Teenagers are living of ‘likes’ and this has falsely shaped their perception. When online, teenagers tend to feel that they fall short in their personal image as they compare themselves to others that inhabit the digital environment, according to the UK-based 5Rights Foundation report. The need to feel accepted is inevitable at this stage in life and therefore the impulsive use and sharing of photos or personal information online creates a virtual identity that seeks for immediate rewards while ignoring the long-term consequences that an online post might have. Irrespective of age, adults should be aware that apps or platforms are created and designed to deliberately extend their use. This means that regardless of anyone’s age, going online can be addictive. This makes it a huge risk to leave any child at the mercy of search engines and Social Media that forever suggest or auto play the next possible item based on a user’s search history.

Les adolescents vivent pour ces « j’aime » et cela a une perception artificielle de leur environnement» Digital skills Even though the first instinct for parents is to remove phones or digital gadgets from children as a way to control their use, research suggests that it is not the most effective strategy. The world has moved into the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the fact that ‘digital is the future’, it is imperative that the younger generation is groomed in that direction if they are to survive. The reality is that children who are digitally literate have better problem solving skills as they grow because they learn how to take more risks, think critically and experience less harm with their added knowledge and competencies. Attaining these skills in a child requires that there is a balance between regulated time and safety online. The issue of navigating the multifaceted challenge of a digital childhood is enormous but not impossible. Children at different age-groups have the ability to learn, grow and engage digitally in incredible ways when given the support they need from parents, teachers, caretakers and the technology regulatory bodies.

La réalité est telle que les enfants qui ont des connaissances numériques seront plus aptes à résoudre des problèmes en grandissant car ils auront appris à prendre plus de risques, à penser de manière critique et ils auront été confronté à moins de préjudices grâce à ces compétences et capacités supplémentaires.

He explains that using tech is not about knowing mathematics but using logic to solve problems, a skill he learned during the past four years as a member of kLab. KLab is a Kigali tech hub that provides a space for tech-developers and innovators to meet mentors and collaborate and create with like-minded youth.
Youth are key For space technology to become effective, it is important to build capacity among Africans to ensure the interventions will help to address the issues of the continent at realistic costs of implementation. As Africa moves toward a single digital market, space technology can increase access to the thousands of applications invented by Africans on a daily basis. Smart Africa’s Executive Director, Dr. Hamadoune Toure, believes that access is a key element to the digital economy and it should also be affordable. The Smart Africa Secretariat awards scholarships to African innovators to acquire space technology training in Japan. “Smart Africa is making sure that education is available for the youth so that they can meet the best objectives. When you synchronize the needs of education and the private sector, then the youth who graduate will be fit for the job market at the right time,” Toure says.

“We want to create opportunities—especially focus on entrepreneurship which creates more jobs. There are hundreds of thousands of applications that have never been created in Africa,” Toure adds: “An application is simply a local solution to a local problem. There are problems that are specific to Africa and once these are solved, they become international solutions.” It is through manufacturing locally, reducing the market size and sharing and inventing applications for Africa that the cost of access is lowered. The youth are key when it comes to the creation of a culture of information sharing, innovation and job creation in the ICT sectors— something that would spread to all other sectors.
Not just dreamers For Kubwumucunguzi, the young front-end developer, ICTs are simply a tool that can solve any societal problem when integrated well. “The youth in Africa can be very ambitious and this is something that propels them to go beyond the usual expectations. When people think of Africa’s youth in the tech sector, they feel like it doesn’t matter and that we 72

Technology goes beyond coding and business—it is a tool that changes the way people behave, and think in today’s information era. Africa’s high penetration of mobile technology is a vantage point that can be linked with satellite technology to provide affordable services to consumers. This is the basis for the intersection between good quality data, a high mobile phone penetration and affordable satellite technology.

membre de kLab. kLab est un centre de technologie qui fournit un espace aux développeurs de technologie et aux innovateurs pour rencontrer des mentors, collaborer et créer avec des jeunes partageant la même passion.
Les jeunes sont la clé Pour que la technologie spatiale devienne efficace, il est important de renforcer les capacités des africains pour s’assurer que les interventions aideront à prendre en compte les problématiques du continent, à un coût de mise en oeuvre réaliste. Alors que l’Afrique avance vers un marché numérique unique, la technologie spatiale peut accroître l’accès aux milliers d’applications inventées par les jeunes africains au quotidien. Le Directeur Exécutif de Smart Africa, Dr Hamadoun Touré, croit fermement que l’accès représente un élément clé de l’économie numérique et qu’il devrait également être abordable. Le Secrétariat de Smart Africa octroi des bourses aux innovateurs africains pour qu’ils acquièrent une formation en technologie spatiale au Japon.
Pour Kubwumucunguzi, le jeune développeur front-end, les TIC sont simplement un outil qui peut résoudre n’importe quel problème de société lorsqu’il est bien intégré. « Les jeunes en Afrique peuvent être très ambitieux et c’est quelque chose qui les pousse à aller au-delà des attentes habituelles. Lorsque les gens pensent à la jeunesse africaine dans le secteur technologique, ils pensent que ce que l’on fait n’a pas d’importance et que nous ne sommes que des rêveurs. Ils ne comprennent tout simplement pas ce que nous faisons, » dit-il. La technologie va au-delà du codage et des affaires, c’est un outil qui change la façon dont les gens se comportent et pensent dans cette ère de l’information. Le taux élevé de pénétration de la technologie mobile en Afrique représente un atout qui peut être associé à la technologie satellitaire pour fournir des services abordables aux consommateurs. Ceci représente la base pour allier des données de bonne qualité, un taux élevé de pénétration de téléphonie mobile et une technologie satellitaire abordable.

Born a Crime
Trevor Noah’s memoir “Born a Crime” is a funny and insightful account of growing up in pre and post-Apartheid South Africa as a biracial boy and doubles as a paean to his mother, Patricia, whose significant presence in the book marks her undeniable influence over the comedian’s life.

The memoir opens with a copy of the Immorality Act criminalising sexual relations between Europeans and natives, essentially showing Noah—a product of a Swiss/German father and Xhosa mother—was “born a crime”. Brief explainers offer glimpses into the inner workings of apartheid, spotlighting how the colonialists’ tactic of their divide and rule was designed to keep whites and non-whites apart. Not even South Africa’s indigenous tribes were spared from this insidious scheme, with Zulus and Xhosa—the country’s two largest groups— condemning each other’s approach to white rule. While Zulus had chosen to fight the invaders, Xhosas considered the enemy’s might and favoured negotiations. Both, however, would fail in their mission. “As the apartheid regime fell… instead of uniting for peace, they turned against each other, committing acts of unbelievable savagery,” Noah writes. “Massive riots broke out. Thousands of people were killed.” It’s in this context that Noah begins his story as a nine-year old being thrown out of a moving minibus by his mother following a verbal altercation with the Zulu driver. “That’s the problem with you Xhosa women,” the driver rages at the sight of a single woman with two children, including a mixed race one. “You’re all sluts, and tonight you’re going to learn your lesson.” When he refuses to stop the bus, Patricia hurls Trevor out before jumping out with his younger brother. Noah and his mother are left bruised and bleeding from the harrowing incident but the baby is unscathed. And after Patricia thanks God for saving them, Noah wisecracks that had she not insisted on attending church that Sunday, despite her car breaking down, they wouldn’t have encountered the driver. Noah’s antics take centre stage in his memoir, often resulting in hilarious consequences. In one instance, at the behest of unsuspecting family members, he offers a lenient prayer against the demon (himself) who had dumped faeces in the trashcan. In another chapter, he realises on prom night that his date doesn’t speak English or any of the other national languages he speaks, even though he’d visited her several times prior. “Tim had promised he’d get me a beautiful date for a dance, but he hadn’t made any promises about
L’autobiographie de Trevor Noah Born a Crime est une description drôle et intéressante de ce que cela signifie de grandir dans une Afrique du Sud pré et post apartheid, en tant qu’enfant métisse. C’est également une ode à sa mère Patricia, dont la présence significative dans le livre démontre l’influence indéniable qu’elle a sur la vie du comédien. L’autobiographie commence par une copie de l’Immorality Act (loi sur l’immoralité), criminalisant les relations sexuelles entre les Européens et les natifs, présentant donc fondamentalement Noah - le produit d’un père Suisse-Allemand et d’une mère Xhosa - comme « Né d’un crime ». De brèves explications nous offrent un aperçu du fonctionnement interne de l’apartheid, mettant en lumière les tactiques des colons et leur façon de diviser pour mieux régner qui étaient en fait conçues pour garder les blancs et non-blancs séparés. Même les tribus indigènes Sud Africaines n’ont pas été épargnées dans cet insidieux complot, les Zoulous et les Xhosas - les deux plus grands groupes du pays - chacun condamnant l’approche de l’autre envers le régime blanc. Alors que les Zoulous avaient choisi de combattre l’envahisseur, les Xhosas avaient bien envisagé la puissance de l’ennemi et préféraient des négociations. Les deux échoueraient pourtant dans leur mission. « Lorsque le régime de l’apartheid est tombé… au lieu de s’unir pour la paix, ils se sont retournés les uns contre les autres, en commettant des actes d’une sauvagerie incroyable, » écrit Noah. « D’énormes émeutes ont éclaté. Des milliers de personnes furent tuées. » C’est dans ce contexte que Noah commence son histoire, un petit garçon de neuf ans, jeté d’un minibus en mouvement par sa mère après une altercation verbale avec le chauffeur Zoulou. « C’est ça le problème avec vous les femmes Xhosa », le chauffeur s’emporte à la vue d’une mère célibataire accompagnée de deux enfants dont un métisse. « Vous êtes toutes des salopes et ce soir vous allez retenir votre leçon. » Lorsqu’il refuse d’arrêter le bus, Patricia a jeté Trevor dehors avant de sauter également avec son petit frère. Noah et sa mère se retrouvaient meurtris et ensanglantés après ce pénible incident mais le bébé était indemne. Après que Patricia ait remercié Dieu de les avoir sauvés, Noah lui a fait remarquer sarcastiquement que si elle n’avait

any of her qualities,” he notes in hindsight. “I’d been mesmerised by her beauty… and didn’t know I was supposed to talk to her.”
Cecil Rhodes There’s also an infamous episode where, working as a DJ at a Jewish function, Noah hypes his dancer-friend with chants of Go Hitler. Looks of shock and disgust greet the pair before they are summarily booted out. But Noah wasn’t being obnoxious. Hitler was the dancer’s birth name. “If black South Africans could go back in time and kill one person, Cecil Rhodes would come up before Hitler,” writes the comedian, describing Cecil Rhodes as their own monster. He further explains the Bantu education that blacks received, which only prepared them for a life of servility, deprived them of a full understanding of world affairs and led some like his grandfather to think “a Hitler” was an “army tank.” Although Born a Crime affords large chunks of humour, sobering moments filter through Noah and his mother’s abusive relationship with his stepfather and in the many ways South African society conspires against women. Born a Crime is a page-turner that combines farcical anecdotes, history and personal observations in the right proportion, ensuring readers get the giggles while learning a thing or two about South Africa and its ugly apartheid past.

pas insisté pour aller à l’église ce dimanche alors que leur voiture était en panne, ils n’auraient jamais rencontré le chauffeur. Les frasques de Noah sont au cœur de son autobiographie, et ont souvent des conséquences hilarantes. Au cours d’un épisode en particulier, à la demande des membres de sa famille qui ne se doutent de rien, il fait une prière clémente contre le démon (lui-même) qui a déversé des excréments dans la poubelle. Dans un autre chapitre, il réalise le jour du bal de fin d’année que la jeune fille qui l’accompagne en rendez-vous galant ne parle ni anglais ni aucune autre des langues nationales qu’il parle, même si il lui avait rendu visite plusieurs fois auparavant. « Tim avait promis qu’il me trouverait une très belle fille avec qui danser, mais il n’avait rien promis quant à ses qualités, » note-t-il après coup. « J’étais tellement hypnotisé par sa beauté…et je ne savais pas que j’étais censé lui parler ».
Cecil Rhodes Lors d’un autre fameux épisode, alors qu’il travaille comme DJ dans un évènement Juif, il chauffe l’ambiance pour son ami danseur, en scandant Go Hitler (Allez Hitler). Ils reçoivent des regards choqués et dégoûtés avant d’être sommairement mis à la porte. Mais Noah n’essayait pas d’être odieux, Hitler était en fait le nom du danseur. « Si les noirs Sud-Africains pouvaient remonter le temps et ne tuer qu’une seule personne, Cecil Rhodes arriverait en tête devant Hitler, » écrit le comédien, en décrivant Cecil Rhodes comme étant leur propre monstre. Il explique également que l’éducation Bantu que les noirs recevaient, qui les préparaient seulement à une vie de servitude, les privaient d’une compréhension globale des affaires mondiales et a conduit certains, comme son grand-père, à penser qu’ « un Hitler » était un « blindé ». Même si Born a Crime comporte de grandes parties pleines d’humour, certains éléments qui nous poussent à réfléchir ressortent également, au travers de la relation abusive de Noah et de sa mère avec son beau-père et des différentes façons dont la société Sud-Africaine conspire contre les femmes. Born a Crime, se lit d’une traite et conjugue des anecdotes grotesques, de l’histoire et des observations personnelles, tout cela juste dans de bonnes proportions, ce qui permet de faire rire les lecteurs mais également de leur faire apprendre quelques éléments au sujet de l’Afrique du Sud et sa sombre histoire de l’apartheid.

Culture 101: The Wolof

Leçon de culture : Les Wolof Saviez-vous que le riz jollof, la cause principale de la bataille entre le Nigéria et le Ghana pour la suprématie culinaire, trouve en fait son origine en République du Sénégal ? Le peuple Wolof, le groupe prédominant au Sénégal, est reconnu comme étant le créateur de ce plat qui est aujourd'hui considéré comme un délice à travers l’Afrique. Pouvons-nous donc trancher le débat et déclarer officiellement que c'est le Sénégal qui cuisine le meilleur riz jollof ? On trouve le peuple Wolof au Sénégal, en Gambie et en Mauritanie. Au Sénégal, ils occupent la zone de savane du Nord-Ouest du pays, comptant environ 3 millions de personnes ou 35% de la population totale. Les Wolof sont initialement arrivés au Sénégal par le nordest aux alentours du XIe siècle. West African Dish of Jollof Rice with Fish and Boiled Egg
Did you know that jollof rice, the subject of a cuisine supremacy battle between Nigeria and Ghana, originates from The Republic of Senegal? The Wolof people, Senegal’s most predominant group, are credited for creating the dish that is today a delicacy across Africa. So, should we just settle the debate and say that Senegal has the best jollof rice? The Wolof people are found in Senegal, Gambia and Mauritania. In Senegal, they occupy the ‘Savanna zone’ in the country’s northwest, numbering about 3 million or 35% of the total population. The Wolof first entered Senegal from the north east around the 11th Century. The Wolof are characteristically a dark skinned, tall, proud and regal-looking people. They are very influential in Senegal’s political and social arena, owing to their highly developed sense of national identity.
Structure Traditionally the Wolof were divided into three classes: the freeborn (Guers), those born into slavery (Jam), and the artisans (Griot). The freeborn class ranged from high-ranking noblemen to common peasant farmers. The slave class was made up of the Wolof whose parents were slaves. They were born into slavery and continued to serve their parent’s masters. The artisans were considered a low class in Wolof society. This group included blacksmiths, leather workers, and musicians. Intermarriage among the three classes was a very rare occurrence. However much of this class distinction is disappearing among the Wolof. The former president of Senegal Abdou Diouf, for instance, was from the blacksmith class.
Les Wolof sont typiquement grands, à la peau très sombre, fiers et à l’allure majestueuse. Ils sont très influents au sein de l’arène politique et sociale du Sénégal, et ce à cause de leur sens très développé de l’identité nationale.
Structure Les Wolofs étaient traditionnellement divisés en trois classes : les hommes libres (Guers), les hommes nés dans l’esclavage (Jam), et les artisans (Griot). La classe des hommes libres allait des aristocrates de haut rang aux paysans communs. La classe des esclaves était constituée par des Wolof dont les parents étaient des esclaves. Ils étaient nés dans l’esclavage et continuaient servir les maîtres de leurs parents. Les artisans étaient considérés comme une classe inférieure de la société Wolof. Ce groupe comprenait des forgerons, des travailleurs du cuir, et des musiciens. Les mariages entre ces trois classes étaient extrêmement rares. Cependant, une grande partie de cette distinction sociale est en voie de disparition parmi les Wolof. L’ancien président du Sénégal, Abdou Diouf, par exemple, provenait de la classe des forgerons.
Rites de Passage Les rites de passages les plus observés sont les cérémonies de nommage, les circoncisions et les enterrements. Curieusement, c’est la lignée de la mère qui, dit-on, a plus d’influence et d’importance que celle du père. La lignée utérine fournit la chair, la personnalité, l’intelligence et le pouvoir magique, alors que la lignée

Rites of Passage The most observed rites of passage are naming ceremonies, circumcisions, and funerals. Interestingly, the mother’s lineage is said to be more influential and important than the father’s. The uterine lineage provides the flesh, character, intelligence and magic power, while the father’s lineage provides the bones, nerves, courage, and a less powerful form of magical power. Children are often named after model influential family members or friends. Boys are circumcised between the ages of seven and eight. On return from the bushes of manhood, a Selbe, big brother, educates them about Wolof heroes and legends. Upon completion of this rite, they are regarded as men by the community.
du père fournit les os, les nerfs, le courage ainsi qu’une forme moins puissante de pouvoir magique. Ce sont souvent les membres les plus influents de la famille ou des amis qui donnent leur nom aux enfants. Les garçons sont circoncis entre sept et huit ans. À leur retour de leur passage dans la brousse pour une épreuve de virilité, un Selbe, grand frère, leur transmet des connaissances à propos des héros et légendes Wolof. Après avoir terminé ce rite, ils sont considérés comme des hommes par la communauté.
Cuisine
Work and recreation
Mis à part le riz jollof, les Wolof ont un régime plutôt riche. La nourriture de base est constituée de millet et de riz. Leur source principale de protéine est le poisson, et parfois la chèvre, le mouton ou le poulet. Parmi leurs plats préférés à base de riz on peut mentionner le ceebu jan (riz et poisson) et le ceebu yapp (riz et viande). Le mafé est un autre plat populaire composé de sauce d’arachide, de viande et de patates douces ou de manioc. La plupart des sauces sont préparées à base d’arachides, la principale culture de rente du Sénégal. Le Bissap, qui ressemble au jus de canneberge, est leur boisson locale préférée.
The Wolof are also known for their tailoring, woodcarving, and business ability. Everyculture.com writes that they have traded
Travail et divertissement
Cuisine Apart from jollof rice, the Wolof have a rich diet. The basic staple food is millet and rice. Their primary source of protein is fish and sometimes goat, sheep, or chicken. Some of the favourite ricebased dishes are ceebu jan (rice and fish), ceebu yapp (rice and meat). Mafe is another popular dish, consisting of peanut sauce, meat and sweet potatoes or cassava. Most of the sauces are made from peanuts, Senegal’s main cash crop. Bissap, something akin to cranberry juice, is their favourite local drink.

dans le domaine des affaires. Selon un rapport trouvé sur le site web everyculture.com les Wolof ont fait du commerce avec les Arabes depuis des siècles et ils se sont spécialisés dans l’importexport. Ils sont d’ailleurs si compétents dans ce domaine que d’après une blague Wolof bien connue, « lorsque l’astronaute américain Neil Armstrong a posé le pied sur la lune, un Wolof lui a tapé sur l’épaule et lui a demandé, Gorgui (monsieur), souhaiteriez-vous acheter ce produit ? » Les Wolof sont des musiciens doués et ont été les pionniers des formes modernes de la musique traditionnelle des griots et du « rap » griot moderne, en langue Wolof, ainsi qu’en anglais et en français. 99% de la population Wolof est musulmane. Leur fête la plus importante est la Tabaski ou « la fête du sacrifice ». Cette fête commémore l’épisode où Allah a remplacé le fils d’Abraham par un agneau pour qu’il le sacrifie dans le désert à la place de son fils. with Arabs for centuries and specialize in import-export trading. So good are they that, “According to a popular Wolof joke, when U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon, a Wolof tapped him on the shoulder and asked, “ Gorgui (sir), would you like to buy this product?”” Wolof are accomplished musicians and have pioneered modern forms of traditional griot music and modern griot “rap” performed in the Wolof language. People enjoy dancing to the vigorous beating of drums by griots. Internationally acclaimed musician, Youssou N’Dour is known to write, record and perform his songs in his native Wolof language as well as English and French. Ninety-nine percent of the Wolof people are Muslims. Their most important holiday is Tabaski, or the “feast of the lamb.” This feast commemorates Allah’s provision of a lamb for Abraham to sacrifice in the wilderness instead of his son. Although French is the country’s official language, Wolof is Senegal’s dominant language. Teranga is a word that you hear a lot in Senegal; it means hospitality or welcoming generosity in Wolof. In June 2018 the national football team, the Lions of Teranga, won the hearts of many across Africa by being the first African team to register a win at the World Cup.

that manages the Kigali Genocide Memorial on behalf of the National Commission for the Fight Against Genocide (CNLG). Today, Ubumuntu is a concept, a brand, and a message that people carry with them as they conclude their visit of the Memorial.
Remembrance The Memorial opened its doors in April 2004, for the 10th commemoration of the Genocide against the Tutsi and it is the final resting place of more than 250,000 victims of this tragedy in 1994. Located in the middle of the capital city of Rwanda, this public space is a place of remembrance but also a place to learn from the mistakes of the past and move forward with a promise: never again! It is in that sense that the concept of Ubumuntu emerged, to inspire all its visitors, from

Back in 2005, I went to Turkey with a few friends and we toured all the major cities. Our presence often drew genuine interest from a lot of people. We even got VIP treatment and invites to exclusive events. Some people called us African footballers’ names, saying that it’s the first time they had been that close to black people. Some people stared hard, others burst out laughing pointing at us while tapping their kids to also have a look at these strange creatures. One lady would touch our hands with a finger and quickly recline it as one would do when touching fire. The city folks were more accommodating than rural folks, but there were still some negative elements. The most shocking incident was in Istanbul when we encountered a kid that was so convinced that my African friends and I were wearing masks because we were black. He insisted on us removing our ‘masks’. Our Turkish guide told off the kid, but we laughed off the whole experience. ~ S. B. I was attending college in Nairobi. I am originally from Taita Hills down at the Kenyan coast and was still getting used to the fast-paced Nairobi life. The guy that used to supply the college with vegetables and other produce told me he fancied me and asked me out on a date. I am quite chatty, so I guess it impressed him that I wasn’t as snobbish as other ladies he had encountered before me. On D-day, the guy came to pick me up in with his veggies pick-up truck. That wasn’t a problem, until he told me we had to make a quick stop at the open-air market. The guy proceeded to load the back of the truck with tomatoes and other vegetables, before handing me a pack of carrots to hold. I found myself munching on a carrot to prevent an avalanche of tears. Oh, just in case you are wondering, we eventually made it to our intended destination that same evening. Sigh! ~W. M.
Journal de Voyage Quelle est l’histoire la plus amusante ou embarrassante qui vous soit jamais arrivée lorsque vous visitiez une ville ou un endroit d’une culture complètement différente ? Voici certaines de ces expériences, collectées par Trezer Oguda. En 2005, je me suis rendu en Turquie avec quelques amis et nous avons fait le tour des grandes villes. Notre présence a souvent suscité un réel intérêt de la part d’un grand nombre de personnes. Nous avons même reçu un traitement VIP et des invitations à des évènements exclusifs. Certains nous appelaient par les noms de footballeurs africains, en déclarant que c’était la première fois qu’ils se trouvaient aussi proches de personnes noires. Certains nous dévisageaient du regard, d’autres éclataient de rire en nous pointant du doigt et en tapant sur les épaules de leurs enfants pour qu’eux aussi puissent voir ces étranges créatures. Une femme a même touché nos mains avec un doigt et l’a retiré aussitôt comme si elles étaient brûlantes. Les habitants de la ville étaient plus accommodants que ceux de la campagne, mais il y a tout de même eu certains éléments négatifs. L’incident le plus choquant s’est produit à Istanbul lorsque nous avons rencontré un enfant qui était tellement convaincu que mes amis africains et moi portions un masque parce que nous étions noirs. Il a insisté pour que nous retirions nos « masques ». Notre guide turc l’a réprimandé, mais nous avons ri de toute cette expérience. ~ S. B. J’étais à l’université à Nairobi. Je suis originaire de Taita Hills, prêt de la côte Kenyane, et j’étais toujours en train de m’habituer au rythme effréné de la vie à Nairobi. Le jeune homme qui fournissait les légumes et d’autres produits à l’université m’a dit un jour que je lui plaisais et m’a invité à sortir avec lui. Je suis assez bavarde donc je pense qu’il avait été impressionné par le fait que je ne sois pas aussi snob que les autres jeunes femmes qu’il avait rencontrées auparavant. Le jour J, il est venu me chercher dans la camionnette qu’il utilisait pour le transport des

In Tanga, Tanzania, I saw someone eating what looked like a tasty dish. I pointed to it and asked the waiter for the same. He confirmed that it was called mbuzi makange. I was super confident with my choice until someone from our squad whispered to me that makange is goat testicles. I believed him because he had travelled two days before me and had already been to the restaurant we were at. I immediately recalled the order only for the lady waiter to explain, amid laughter, that it was some sort of peppered goat meat. Needless to say, I am the joke of the group to date.
légumes. Ce n’était pas un problème en soit, jusqu’à ce qu’il m’annonce que l’on devait s’arrêter rapidement au marché en plein air. Il a ensuite chargé des tomates et autres légumes à l’arrière de la camionnette, avant de me tendre un paquet de carottes à tenir. Je me suis retrouvée à grignoter une carotte pour empêcher un flot de larmes de couler. Oh, et au cas où vous vous poseriez la question, nous avons bien fini par arriver à notre destination prévue ce même soir. *soupir*. ~W. M. À Tanga, en Tanzanie, j’ai vu quelqu’un manger un plat qui avait l’air délicieux. Je l’ai pointé du doigt au serveur et lui ai demandé la même chose. Il m’a confirmé que ce plat se nommait mbuzi makange.
~S. S. It was my first tour of Europe and I was so excited to visit malls for an overdue shopping spree. Back home in Kenya, I was used to passing through security check before entering any mall. In supermarkets and major stores, one leaves their luggage at a designated spot and is given a small wooden or plastic chip that identifies you as the owner when you go back for pick up. This is mostly done to discourage theft inside the stores. Now in Europe, as we entered the first mall, we paused at the entrance looking for a luggage deposit spot and a security guard to search us. Nothing. We did not want to look suspicious so we decided to enter the store, ever so cautiously, looking over

J’étais tout à fait confiant quant à mon choix, jusqu’à ce que quelqu’un de notre groupe me murmure que les makange sont en fait des testicules de chèvre. Je l’ai cru car il était arrivé deux jours avant moi et s’était déjà rendu dans le restaurant où nous étions. J’ai immédiatement rappelé la serveuse, pour m’entendre dire, entre deux éclats de rire que c’était en fait une sorte de viande de chèvre pimentée. Évidemment, je suis encore jusqu’à aujourd’hui la risée du groupe. ~S. S.

our shoulders waiting for someone to come and ask why we still had our luggage. No one ever came. We had a good laugh later when we realized things were different there. ~K. K When I traveled to India, there were some children and women who requested to touch my braids and to take photos with me while holding my braids. I don’t know what was so fascinating about my hairstyle but it sure was awkward! ~G. W I had traveled to Northern Kenya for a work trip. Kenya being home to at least 43 tribes, with various languages, I am always eager to learn a couple of new words when I visit different parts of the country. One day I was sitting with some locals and decided to impress them with few words I had learnt over the past week. It was going well until I uttered a word that was supposed to mean lady. Everyone became deathly silent. That should have been my cue to ask what was wrong, but no... I repeated the word. The elderly men began whistling and asking me who had taught me the word. Turns out what I had said meant a lady’s genitalia. Gasp! I was so embarrassed. I got over it soon enough to learn other words and phrases and made sure to double check their meaning to use them correctly.
C’était ma première visite en Europe et je me réjouissais d’avance de me rendre dans les centres commerciaux pour une virée shopping que j’attendais depuis longtemps. Chez moi au Kenya, j’étais habituée à passer par les contrôles de sécurité avant d’entrer dans un centre commercial. Dans les supermarchés et les grands magasins, on laisse ses sacs à l’entrée et on nous donne un jeton en bois ou en plastique qui vous identifie comme le propriétaire de vos affaires lorsque vous revenez les chercher. Cela se fait en grande partie pour décourager les voleurs potentiels. En Europe, alors que nous entrions dans le premier centre commercial, nous avons marqué une pause à l’entrée pour chercher un endroit où déposer nos sacs. Rien. Nous ne voulions pas avoir l’air suspect, nous sommes donc entrées très prudemment dans le magasin, tout en regardant par-dessus notre épaule pour voir si quelqu’un venait nous demander pourquoi nous avions encore nos sacs avec nous. Personne n’est jamais venu. Nous avons bien rit lorsque nous avons réalisé que les choses étaient différentes là-bas.

~G. W Je m’étais rendu dans le Nord du Kenya pour un déplacement professionnel. Le Kenya, compte 43 tribus et diverses langues, et je suis toujours désireux d’apprendre de nouveaux mots lorsque je visite différentes parties du pays. Un jour, j’étais assis avec des locaux et j’ai décidé de les impressionner avec les quelques mots que j’avais appris au cours de la semaine. Tout se passait bien jusqu’à ce que je prononce un mot qui était censé vouloir dire « femme ». Tout le monde s’est tu. J’aurais dû comprendre et demander ce qui n’allait pas mais non…j’ai répété le mot. Les hommes plus âgés ont commencé à siffler et à me demander qui m’avait appris ce mot. Il s’est avéré que ce mot servait à décrire les organes génitaux d’une femme. Oups ! J’étais tellement gêné. Je m’en suis vite remis, et j’ai continué à apprendre d’autres mots et phrases - et à vérifier leur sens pour m’assurer de les utiliser correctement.

Relieve this by swallowing, yawning or pinching the nostrils gently and breathing out whilst keeping lips sealed. Should you feel unwell at any time, please ask the cabin crew for assistance.
LANDING
After touch down, you may notice an increase in engine noise level due to the reverse thrust being applied to assist braking.

A little later, Little Red Riding Hood reached the house. She looked at the wolf. ‘Granny, what big eyes you have!’ ‘All the better to see you with!’ said the wolf. ‘Granny, what big ears you have!’ ‘All the better to hear you with!’ said the wolf.
On her way Little Red Riding Hood met a wolf. ‘Hello!’ said the wolf. ‘Where are you going?’ ‘I’m going to see my grandmother. She lives in a house behind those trees.’ The wolf ran to Granny’s house and ate Granny up. He got into Granny’s bed.
‘Granny, what a big nose you have!’ ‘All the better to smell you with!’ said the wolf. ‘Granny, what big teeth you have!’ ‘All the better to eat you with!’ shouted the wolf.

Why Agenda 2063? The need to envision a long-term 50 year development trajectory for Africa is important as Africa needs to revise and adapt its development agenda due to ongoing structural transformations; increased peace and reduction in the number of conflicts; renewed economic growth and social progress; the need for people centered development, gender equality and youth empowerment; changing global contexts such as increased globalisation and the ICT revolution; the increased unity of Africa which makes it a global power to be reckoned with and capable of rallying support around its own common agenda; and emerging development and investment opportunities in areas such as agri-business, infrastructure development, health and education as well as the value addition in African commodities The Vision and African Aspirations for Agenda 2063 Agenda 2063 is founded on the African Union (AU) Vision of “An Integrated, Prosperous, and Peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in the International arena.” In addition to the various activities to be implemented at continental and Member State level, Agenda 2063 proritises several flagship projects whose implementation is seen as key in accelerating Africa’s growth.
