The facility is located on a 12-ha piece of land and fulfils the requirement of a modernised and international fuel depot. Les bienheureux boulevards du nouveau Rwanda – Actusen. « Il n’y a pas de destin forclos, il y a que des responsabilités désertées ». Il y a de cela une décennie, je suis tombé, au cours de mes lectures sur cette belle maxime d’un grand homme qui a marqué son temps. J’ai été attiré et ébloui par la justesse de ces propos, la teneur de cette courte phrase. Ceci a été pour moi un réconfort dans ma quête du sens et un viatique pour la vie. Cela signifie qu’il ne faut jamais abandonner, jamais. Personne ni aucun peuple ne sont condamnés. Quand j’ai eu l’opportunité de séjourner au Rwanda et notamment dans sa capitale Kigali, il y a de cela quelques bonnes semaines, je me suis dit au fond de moi : ah bien oui, il a raison !

Rwanda: Govt to Finance Cyanika Border Market Construction After Investor Pulls Out. By Jean d'Amour Mbonyinshuti The Government has decided to construct a long-awaited Cyanika border market in Burera District after the investor who had undertaken the project pulled out. The decision was made last Friday during a meeting that brought together Northern Province officials and different stakeholders.
The meeting had been convened to discuss the future of the project, which, once complete, would boost economic activity between Burera residents and their neighbours across the border in Uganda. Government has earmarked Rwf1.2 billion for the construction of the market. Noguchi Holdings, a Japanese venture capital firm, had promised to build the market last year but started dragging feet in April this year after the East African Community introduced the single customs union where goods would be cleared at Mombasa Port in Kenya. However, the government insisted on having the border market and an official said they will soon launch construction activities. Kizito Fires Lawyers. Rwanda's Infrastructure Sector.
