Mitch Wagner sez, “Remarkable video by our sister publication, Internet Evolution, about Rwanda’s attempts to bootstrap its economy by becoming an Internet hub for Africa.
Rwanda was the site of horrible inter-tribal genocide in 1994, as the Tutsis were massacred by Hutu militia.
One of the people interviewed in this video — a former officer of the Hutu military, who now leads one of the nation’s leading telecoms — says that he doesn’t believe the genocide could have happened today, because the Internet would have gotten the world out. I wish I could be so sure.
The video shows Rwanda to be a gorgeous, green country. ”
(Thanks, Mitch!)
