I'm not sure why this video is here, but I'm glad it is. The local news of Rwanda was surprisingly refreshing.... usually we only get major (i.e. awful) news out of that continent.
Turns out this was a Kenyan news channel covering Rwanda, but your point stands. A lot of people think all of Africa is a giant hellhole, or that specific parts of Africa that have horrible pasts are always going to be like that.
I found it because "Car Free Day" was trending on Twitter, and that day it was about Vancouver BC, but I ended up finding out about this more-regular and more-massive version in Rwanda.
