kigali

There's no reason why a Rwandan in Kigali can't earn first-world wages for doing software development.

Sure, it'd be great if Kigali would have broadband, but the government should take care of its people, then its computers.

For me, moving from Seattle to Kigali was all about just deciding to do it.

Most of the street names are just KG for Kigali followed by the street number.

It costs more to get a container from Dar to Kigali than it does to get a container from China to Dar.

Flashy projects like CMU Kigali and Thailand level cleanliness aside, Rwanda hasn't been able to bring a high value industry into the country yet.

In Rwanda the internal infrastructure is great and there's an Ookla server in Kigali so it thinks we have great internet.

I spent a couple of weeks in Rwanda last summer and was stunned by how clean the streets are both in Kigali and in the countryside.

As an example, I am much less concerned about female friends of mine walking around alone at night in Kigali than I am my neighborhood back home in Seattle.

To be honest, Kigali is one of the easiest places to do this in Africa (if not the easiest) when looking at all factors, so we are bit spoiled in that regard.

I just spent close to 3 months in Rwanda and one of the coolest things I found there was an incubator called kLab in Kigali (www.klab.rw) that was modeled after incubators they have in Kenya.

The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal protocol from 2019 now covers HFCs too, and the EU limits them since 2015, but these things take time… R-410A, commonly used in Europe, has a GWP of 2088.

Could you be a bit more specific when you say Kigali is "safe"?

Moving at night, even as a woman is very safe and commonplace in most parts of Kigali.

Slum redevelopment in a democracy like Nairobi, Kenya is going to be very different from authoritarian Kigali, Rwanda.

You have the same thing in Kigali, Rwanda.
