Till religion do us apart

My love, we have known each for a while
Why not take our relationship to the next level?
Take me to your parents
I want to be born in the family

Take my hand,
I shall give you a shoulder to lean, dear
Come closer
I will comfort you, my love
Let us make a forever union.

Union? Forever? With you?
You must face the knife
You must get saved
Change to Catholism
Become a Protestant first

No,
I can’t even trust
You will change willingly
Or
Wholeheartedly

We must part,
Let me be
I want some hajji,
I want a born-again christian like me
I want a Catholic,
Nay
It is my Protestant brother I need

Ooooooooooooh!
What must me do
For I love you so dearly
I need you in mine life
Leaving you is like facing the gallows...

But,
I must get a partner of my religion
That's what to me matters
Not your love
Besides,
My family shall disown me
We must part,
Now!

It is also true that solutions to most of our problems are always around us. So, when a Huye-based farmer sought sustainable ways to market local coffee and promote Rwanda’s unique tourism attractions to the outside world, the resources at hand came in handy.  The farmer created a ‘coffee experience tour’ hiking trail across the Huye Mountain Coffee plantation and the historically important Nyirankoko hill just above the plantation. Where does the coffee you drink at Ban Café or any other coffee houses come from? Or why would one visit a coffee or tea farm, or a cattle ranch? These questions are expounded on during the hike and, by the time one descends the hill, they are ready to roast and brew their first coffee as the hike takes you through all the stages of the coffee production process, right from plan

Public sector lawyers involved in drafting of the extractives sector laws and policies in the region will next week undergo training to improve their negotiation and policy-making skills.

The discovery of commercially viable oil and gas deposits in East Africa has caused a lot of excitement among ordinary citizens, as well as political and business leaders. This has led some sections of the population and leaders argue that the region could soon reach the take off stage and develop substantially like the Asian Tigers, on the back of the oil and gas sector. Tanzania has huge gas reserves, while Kenya and Uganda have discovered oil and gas in commercially viable quantities, with first oil expected to start flowing in two-four years. Uganda has about 3.5 billion barrels oil while Kenya so far has over 600 million barrels of oil deposits that have been confirmed to date. Rwanda is also exploring for oil and gas, but has various firms involved in mining of different minerals like wolfram and cassetirite in different parts of the country, as well as the methane gas deposits on Lake Kivu. These discoveries present huge opportunities and could potentially turn around t
