It was reported to day on the Red24 alert that Over 800,000 people took to the streets in protest yesterday, paralysing the city, as demonstrators marched to the German Embassy and the local offices of Deutsche Welle, Germany's national broadcaster.
This follows similar protests earlier in November when Kabuye, an aide to the Rwandan president, was initially arrested in Germany in connection with the 1994 assassination of former Rwandan president Juvenal Habyarimana. Although the protest passed without violence, tensions remain and the possibility of further civil unrest is high at this time.
Shared Interest Foundation training has resumed today and our Project Co-ordinator Donatien and the participants all sound like they are in good spirits and have reported back that the training is going extremely well.
