Kigali and its environs are exceptionally clean and well maintained.[Courtesy]

Chris Harman’s 2008 book, A People’s History of the World: From Stone Age to the New Millennium, centres on a harrowing thought. We are living in a self-destructive world, riding on greed and gross inequalities. It is a chauvinistic nativist world; a universe of prejudice, barbarous practices, and wars.   

Coincidentally, I should be reading Harman when the world is ruefully remembering the genocide, 32 years ago, of the Tutsi people of Rwanda.
