Rwanda is a top tourist destination in Africa. Its renowned Volcanoes National Park is home to mountain gorillas and golden monkeys. The small East African country has many other tourist attractions.
It will be remembered that Rwandan President Paul Kagame is a supporter of Arsenal FC.
Kagame recently commented of Arsene Wenger’s exit from the club via twitter.
My take on my beloved Club Arsenal- a very good one at the game and a very good coach like a.Wenger ,this should not have been the kind of ending of an era. The coach is leaving and club trophy-less it was long coming! I am still a committed fan going forward :). Blame the owners
