Rwanda appeals for debt relief


International donors are meeting in the Swedish capital, Stockholm, to consider Rwanda's efforts to restore its economy, four years after the genocide of 1994, in which up to a million people were killed.

The BBC correspondent in Rwanda says the government is lobbying to obtain relief from servicing its external debt, which totals more than a billion dollars.

The Rwandan finance minister ,Donald Kaberuka, is warning that the country won't be able to meet its debt repayment commitments as well as maintaining economic and political stability.
