    South Africa | Rwanda | Kenya Summer 2018 Study Abroad Program Guide Office of Study Abroad Programs University at Buffalo 201 Talbert Hall Buffalo, New York 14260 Tel: 716 645-3912 Fax: 716 645 6197 [email protected] www.buffalo.edu/studyabroad Study Abroad Program Guide South Africa & Rwanda Summer 2018 DESTINATION: SOUTH AFRICA 28 MAY – 13 JUNE http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~irlam/ubafrica.html Location The new "rainbow nation" of South Africa occupies the base of the African continent and lies south of the Tropic of Capricorn. It is surrounded by the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. On its northern borders (moving west to east) lie Namibia (formerly South West Africa), Botswana (formerly Bechuanaland), Zimbabwe (Rhodesia until 1980) and Mozambique, a Portuguese colony until 1975. Swaziland also occupies South Africa’s eastern border, and the tiny kingdom of Lesotho is surrounded by South Africa, east of center. South Africa is a vibrant, young country, emerging from three centuries of European colonialism and white domination. In 2015 the nation marks its second decade free of apartheid. This is therefore a truly revolutionary era for South Africa as it continues to evolve from its European past into an African future. You will have a unique opportunity to experience a new and vibrant nation as it strives to harmonize peoples of diverse African, Indian and European heritage into one community with a common culture after centuries of division. Part of South Africa, the Cape Colony, was once a colonial possession of the Netherlands and, since the early nineteenth century, Britain. This dual colonial legacy is reflected in the two European languages still spoken widely: English and Afrikaans.

  • Afr 47/19/98 Dealing with the Truth
    AI I INDEX: AFR 47/19/98 DEALING WITH THE TRUTH Amnesty International’s concerns in Rwanda Rwanda is still caught in a cycle of violence. Four years on from a genocide in which as many as one million people lost their lives, the bloodshed has not stopped. Whole families are being wiped out. Civilians, both Tutsi and Hutu, are being ruthlessly killed. This violence is not inevitable. People inside and outside Rwanda can make a difference. The Rwandese Government can do more to protect human rights. Leaders of armed opposition groups can prevent the killing of unarmed civilians. Governments and people around the world can ensure that the international community does not turn its back on Rwanda again. As an international non-governmental human rights organization, Amnesty International campaigns for the respect of the same internationally recognized standards in all countries. This leaflet seeks to explain Amnesty International’s concerns in Rwanda, to summarize the main human rights issues and to address some of the ongoing debates: What could the international community have done to stop the genocide? Will justice ever be done? How can human rights be protected in Rwanda today? In answering these questions, this leaflet also responds to some of the criticisms made regarding Amnesty International’s work on Rwanda. The genocide in 1994 Between April and July 1994, as many as one million people were killed in a genocide organized by extremist elements within the Hutu-dominated government and armed forces, the Forces armées rwandaises (FAR). Many of these killings were carried out by the militia known as interahamwe.

  • Transport Sector Policy
    REPUBLIC OF RWANDA MINISTRY OF INFRASTRUCTURE TRANSPORT SECTOR POLICY December 2008 1 TRANSPORT SECTOR POLICY I. INTRODUCTION 1. The transport sector is a strategic sector for Rwanda, and the situation of being landlocked has a negative impact on economic growth and development of the country. The exceptionally high cost of transport at national as well as international levels, as well as insufficient affordable and accessible modes of transport for people in both urban and rural areas, constitute a major constraint which must be taken into account with the sector policy to achieve the short medium and long-term development goals that Rwanda has mandated. 2. The present sectoral policy defines the vision of the Government for the sector as well as its strategic orientations, which will guide its actions during the next five years. These are summarized in the Transport Sector Policy Matrix (Appendix 1). The implementation of the sector policy is ensured through medium term programmes such as the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) for the period 2009-2012 as annexed in Appendix 2. 3. The transport sector policy is inspired by the planning tools available in Rwanda, such as the Vision 2020, the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS), the National Investment Strategy and the Medium Term Expenditure Framework. It takes into account other tools of reference such as the Millennium Development Objectives and the action plan of the Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy (SSATP). It also takes into account cross-cutting issues such as HIV/AIDS and environmental protection. I.1. Definition of the Transport Sector 4.
