While I have every sympathy for that view, I might add that many people travel to Rwanda fully aware of the political context. They go there to see the mountain gorillas and the presence of tourists helps towards conservation efforts. I'm sure Mr Zecha is thinking about some sort of sensitive game lodge rather than a sybaritic resort as you get in Bali.
