Bruno-

No, it's not Rwanda; that would be irresponsible for us for the reasons to which you've alluded here. I can't name it yet and things won't start being visible for a while anyway.

Hello Barrett,

I just ran into your today's piece on CSI. You mention that a "certain small sub-Saharan country" was soon going the same way as Tunisia and Egypt. I presume you mean Rwanda? I'm interested mainly for selfish reasons: to have an idea how fast I should get my wife out of there. Rwanda isn't your typical "regime against the people" country. It's more that the dictator belongs to one tribe and the other (correctly) feels rather left in the cold. The result is that when (not if) the situation explodes there, another civil war is on the cards. Sub-Saharan Africa is quite a different deal from North Africa...

Best regards,

Bruno
