Note: Lieutenant Colonel Mark Sojourner, along with Dan Seller and Jay Osborne, with U.S. Africa Command's Strategy, Plans and Programs office, conducted a two-day site survey trip to Kigali, Rwanda recently to coordinate the opening of an Office of Security Cooperation office.
We had a chance to take in a little bit of the city and the surrounding area as it was our first opportunity to travel on the continent. Kigali is a surprisingly clean and orderly city, considering its size and population. Everywhere we went, we saw locals tidying up the streets and sidewalks as well as new fiber optic lines being laid by hand all over the city as well as the surrounding area, which will surely prepare Rwanda for the future.
We also had a chance to visit Akagera Game Park outside of Kigali. The park was great, and the entire way there and back we were greeted with smiles and waving children along the way. It was a very professionally and personally rewarding trip!
