Connectafrica reports that in an effort to join the English-speaking East African Community, Rwanda has adopted English as its official language. All education is to be conducted in English rather than French. Relations between Rwanda and France have been cool because of the belief that the French had supported the Hutus who carried out violent acts during the genocide of the mid 1990s. Some are hoping that that this will also help to build a sense of unity in Rwanda.
