Good Fences make Good Neighbours


I went out for a walk early one morning while we were in Huye, and I noticed this fence.  To be honest, this was not the first such fencetop I had seen in Rwanda, I noticed them as soon as we arrived four years ago.

In urban areas, most people have fences like this around their homes, no matter how modest the home.  They have huge gates that they must open to get into their compound.  The gates are wide enough to admit a car, and most gates also have a person-sized door installed in one of the sides of the gate.

Considering the history of this country, I can understand why a person might think such a fencetop would be necessary.
