Prince Charles and Camilla arrive in Rwanda as Commonwealth heads meet
The trip marks the first royal visit to Rwanda, which is one of a minority of nations Queen Elizabeth has not visited.
Some $4.7 million has been spent sprucing up the capital, with President Paul Kagame keen to portray"the country of a thousand hills" in the best possible light. A tussle for the leadership of the Commonwealth, which represents some 2.5 billion people or a quarter of humanity, is also expected, with renewed talk about the body's future role and relevance.The fall-out from the migrant deal potentially puts Prince Charles in a tricky spot. The visit will notably see the 73-year-old prince meet survivors of the 1994 genocide.
Amnesty International's director for east and southern Africa, Deprose Muchena, called on Commonwealth leaders to take a"firm and clear stance" against the policy.
