Rwanda: Kagame plays franco-anglo balancing act

At the UK-Africa Investment Summit, Rwanda's president announced his plans to exempt from visa requirements foreign nationals from member states of the Commonwealth of Nations, the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) and the African Union.
