		This was referring to his observations he made as he sat by the swimming pool in the Hotel des Mille-Collines in Kigali watching a myriad of western aid workers, the rwandese bourgeoisie, prostitutes, conmen and expatriates mingling in an uncanny harmony.

	Kigali plays the blame game
		Kigali - As Rwanda prepared to mark the 10th anniversary of a genocide that claimed up to a million lives, accusations about responsibility for the slaughter abounded in Kigali on Tuesday.
		Ten years later, there is no question that in the case of Rwanda in 1994 the outside world failed to honour its pledge of "never again" made after the Nazi Holocaust, and acrimony still surrounds the specific actions and inactions of individual members of the international community.
		This was the central theme of a conference of Rwandan and foreign experts held this week in Kigali, which ended on Tuesday, the eve of the main commemorative events in the capital.
