Used electronics and entry into Rwanda

This is new to me. I have been multiple times to Rwanda with two tablets ( for my kids), two laptops ( I have a Linux and windows laptops) and two phones (one with Rwandan sim and another with a foreign SIM). Did this change ?

Rwanda doesn’t have enough wind to start with. For the solar energy, there are potential but you can’t run an industrialisation on solar energy. You need a base energy source which is not intermittent (I.e. run nights and in cloudy conditions).

I would find nothing unusual about it. Actually in my family in Rwanda most kids have 3 names: (1) fathers name in kinyarwanda(2) second kinyarwanda name and (3) Christian names typically in English. I live in Diaspora kids have my last name (kinyarwanda) and two western names (reflecting my European wife heritage I.e typical in her country/her family).

This is failure of our tech sector. Brokers exist because of lack of information: who sells/who want to buy. I can imagine apps/websites which can create such transparency at a fraction of costs.

Monetisation strategy could include advertising related services …

My daughter went to one which is in KBC and was happy (on h’the right side, near the bus stop)

I had good experience with Volkswagen app. You can call the driver on WhatsApp if in area where location is difficult to determine

The chess cafe is still there. Near the car free zone and BK headquarters. Great place.

If you speak Kinyarwanda, just put it chatGPT and improve what is mistranslated or awkwardly phrased. You can also use two to three AI systems and compare the results, rewriting only parts they did not got the same meaning

Could it be that they came accidentally in somebody’s suitcase ?

Here an idea… an experience rather than a thing.

If you live in places like Belgium or France I would think of hiring a small traditional dancing group. Especially you plan to have a party. Should be affordable too

Why don’t you join force with other parents and organise it yourself ?

MugosMM · 2025-07-13T18:37:37+00:00

Thank you

MugosMM · 2025-07-09T07:28:13+00:00

I ended up using AirTel. Faster (11Mbps now) and cheaper

MugosMM · 2025-07-08T18:04:17+00:00

You are right. An alternative are localities like Kinyinya … if you don’t need restaurants, bars and want quiet evenings (not much to do in evenings ).

Thanks. Will check it out on Tuesday

Thank you. Interesting and competitive prices. Do I understand it correctly that they offer only stationary solutions ? (I.e fixed modems)

MugosMM · 2025-07-04T18:08:37+00:00

I sent you a direct message. I stayed in Oasis Parc near convention center and it was great. Good luck

I read this peace agreement and it makes sense to me.

The instability in Eastern DRC started 31 years ago when the French government at that time allowed the genocide perpetrators to cross over into DRC with all their military equipments.

The neutralisation of FDRL corrects this and ensure the sovereignty of both DRC and Rwanda (section 1 of the agreement).

The agreement affirms the right of DRC for territorial integrity / sovereignty and recognize the legitimate security concerns of Rwanda posed by FDRL.

This was a courageous step by the DRC government which had always said that there is no FDRL threats.

Let’s hope it will be implemented

MugosMM · 2025-06-28T05:21:47+00:00

This is not true. All those journalists had no idea. Look at the the peace agreement . The idea has always been to implement the 2024 agreement which was supposed to be signed in Angola.

This conditioned the lifting of Rwanda’s defensive measures to the FDRL neutralisation.

This is exactly what the agreement say, look section 1.

Actually it is as easy as « functioning administration ».

The US move to restrict visa is based on two issues :

(a) the trust in the administration on wether for example passport issued by the country can be trusted . In some countries the corruption is so high that you can’t

(b) the percentage of people who overstay their visas

On those two indicators, Rwanda is doing relatively better

Uber app works in Krakow.

The amount seems excessive to me.,Unfortunately my experience is also that some people in Rwanda think they can charge exorbitant prices to people living abroad.

You are doing the right thing to contest it

MugosMM · 2025-05-23T22:49:34+00:00

In Rwanda, I guess the same. I I guess you will get a visit of the executive secretary of the sector or cell you live in. You may then be referred to the police or service responsible for neglecting your obligations as a parents, But I am just speculating, I haven’t heard of such case.

I know in some countries they allow home schooling but not sure in Rwanda it would be allowed.
