Virunga park to reopen

    NAIROBI

    The Rwandan authorities are to reopen the Virunga National Park in the north, after it was closed two years ago due to the rebel insurgency in the area, the Rwanda News Agency reported. It quoted Lieutenant Colonel Denis Nkizinkiko, director of the National Tourism Office as saying the park will be reopened next month, thus bringing in badly-needed tourism revenue. The move indicated a return to normality in this area of Rwanda, the news agency added.
