English replaces French in Rwanda's economic boom - 9 Apr 09

It suffered a genocide that wiped out 1.2 million people in one hundred days and decimated the country's economy. But 15 years on, its international supporters are calling Rwanda's economic recovery a miracle. Now the government has chosen to drop French as the language taught in schools and used in business - in favour of English. All to attract even more companies to do busines there. Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege reports from the capital, Kigali.
