Michela Wrong’s new book, Do not Disturb, is the story of a political murder and an African regime gone bad.
The writer, who has made a career trading in demeaning stereotypes of Africans in previous works that include In the Footsteps of Mr Kurtz about the last days of Zairean president Mobutu Sese Seko, and It’s our Turn to Eat billed as “an analysis of why Kenya descended into political violence”, is at it again. This time she has the president of Rwanda in her crosshairs.
