Foreign Office Advice:

Travel to Rwanda is not
recommended at the present
time. Although the war is over
and an interim government
established in Kigali,
essential services (water,
power, fuel, etc.) are not
available and accommodation is
hard to find.

No civilian police force
exists. Looting, robbery and
revenge killings continue.

There is no British Mission
able to provide consular
services or protection.
