September 25 – Kamarampaka Day

Posted on September 25, 2017

Today is the anniversary of the abolishment, in 1961, of the Rwandan monarchy.

Here are some interesting things about Rwanda:

  • People only eat meat once or twice a month. Today might be an important enough day to warrant a meal with meat!


  • More than half of all meals eaten in Rwanda include sweet potatoes, and about half include beans of some sort. 

  • A special day might warrant beer made of a cereal grain called sorghum. Instead of each person drinking beer getting his or her own glass of beer, a large pot is placed in the center of the room with multiple straws.
  • Rwanda is called the "Land of the Thousand Hills." Lovely: 


  • Rwanda is a colorful place. Check out Rwanda in blues, greens, pinks, and multi-colors:





  • Rwanda is known for its wonderful animals:

  1. Kamarampaka ("concluder" of argument!) , (unfortunately, the end of one argument is not the end of all of them, but what kind of world would be, our argument driven world if all arguments ended!
    Happily ever after?
    Happy arguments to my fellow Rwandans on both side of the table!.
