I, just like him, could do no more than dream of delectable chewables, constrained as I was to mush for weeks. And there we bonded. Sure, he was a Nazi soldier...
...aids sufferers are on antiretroviral drugs. It is investing heavily in education. The government is also tackling overpopulation, which - in that it describes a situation of too many people on not enough land - was an underlying cause of the genocide. In Mayange, outside Nyamata, Ruxin has virtually eliminated hunger and malaria in 15 months, and the government is now scaling up his success nationwide.
