From articles I've written or significantly re-written:
- ...that the Lake Tanganyika passenger ferry MV Liemba began its life as a German warship in World War I, spent eight years on the bottom of the lake, and later inspired the enemy ship Empress Luisa in the film The African Queen?
- ...that Charlotte Wilson was murdered by Hutu rebels in Burundi during the Titanic Express massacre?
Rusumo Falls - ...that Rusumo Falls was a significant site during the 1994 Rwandan genocide as thousands of dead bodies flowed underneath the bridge while a simultaneous stream of refugees crossed over it, fleeing into Tanzania to escape the fighting?
- ...that Transport in Rwanda centres around the road network, with 1000km of paved roads and 11,000km of dirt tracks?
- ...that Gustav Adolf von Götzen, a German explorer and Governor of German East Africa, was the first European to set foot in Rwanda?
- ...that Kigali International Airport was formerly named after Gregoire Kayibanda, the first Rwandan president, but was renamed as part of the reconciliation process after the 1994 Rwandan genocide?
