Rwanda and Cambodia updates

Rwanda: from this to this in fourteen years.

There are a few books I still wish to read about the Rwandan genocide, including Philip Gourevitch's We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our families, plus several films I have yet to see including Hotel Rwanda, Shake Hands with the Devil and Shooting Dogs. I do however recommend highly Gil Courtemanche's A Sunday at the Pool in Kigali which I found to be a stunning read, plus the French-Canadian film which didn't quite do the book justice.

Cambodia, meanwhile, has taken at least twice as long to get anywhere at all, now with its own genocide trials delayed further until at least next year.
