The special guest Mr Louis van Gaal remarked, “It has been an honour for me to name a baby Gorilla. My advice to Dutch people is the following, If you intend to visit Rwanda, don’t look at t\its tragic past, but look at how Rwanda is today!
It’s unbelievable how in only 25 years President Paul Kagame has managed to changed Rwanda. People of Rwanda are friendly and polite. Its nature is incredible! Rwanda is clean, hotels and food very good.”
Without any doubt, it has been a Rwandaful evening !
