An interesting article, sent me by a colleague. An excerpt:
Today, not only is English flourishing in Rwanda but France is widely talked of as the enemy. In some quarters, French is thought of as the language of death; of those who killed and those who stayed to be murdered in the genocide of 1994. The young elite posing in the bustling cafes and night clubs of Rwanda’s capital, Kigali, flaunt English as the language of the strong, of those who resisted the genocide, of the anti-French.
