Warden Message

Demonstrations

On Wednesday, November 19, 2008, from 0900-1800 hrs, a nationwide demonstration has been scheduled to protest the arrest in Europe of a Rwandan government official.  While the demonstration is expected to be peaceful, we wish to remind American citizens that even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and escalate into violence.  American citizens are therefore urged to avoid the areas of demonstrations and to exercise caution if within the vicinity of any demonstrations.

Please be advised that movements within Kigali and other major towns may be restricted due to large crowds and blocked streets.
