Just to let you all know, because of the large interest currently in Rwanda by the wikinews community and the considerable efforts of Clare, Rwanda will be the Country of the Week (COTW) for two weeks instead of the normal one. Please feel free to vote for future COTW's or to sign up as an interested member - no commitment is required - just interest.

Besides Wikinews radio, there's another exciting development on the English Wikinews: the Rwanda newshut.

Every week, Wikinews chooses a new country to focus on (an idea by User:CGorman). Rwanda was picked because we have a volunteer reporter over there, Clare White. She has just submitted her first original reporting:

See also her Rwanda conference project at:

More on this in my next State of the Wiki report.
On a related note, we've also recently had some OR from Iran, via Instant Messenger:
