The Right. Hon. Prime Minister Dr. Ngirente Edouard, today officially opened, on behalf of His Excellency Paul Kagame, the President of the republic of Rwanda, the 24th Interpol African Regional Conference and the Table Top Exercise “CYBER TRACKS II”.
In his remarks, the Prime Minister thanked the Interpol leadership for having chosen Rwanda as the host of this important conference. He also commended INTERPOL for its outstanding cooperation with Rwanda and its commitment to make Africa and the world a safer place.
He further stressed the importance of this year’s conference as the right forum to discuss the continental security concerns, share experiences and discuss joint strategies to address common and emerging crime issues. Some of the security threats that he mentioned include illicit trafficking of drugs and pharmaceuticals; financial crimes and corruption; trafficking in human beings and cybercrimes. “These threats undermine the development of Africa but also constitute a violation of human rights.” Prime Minister said.
The Premier insisted that no single country can alone win this struggle against these crimes. For this reason, he stressed the need for stronger regional and international cooperation and comprehensive anti-crimes strategies among all countries.
The Prime Minister concluded his remarks by reiterating Rwanda’s commitment to be a reliable partner of INTERPOL and to always support regional and international peace and security initiatives.

Common Murre
Uria aalge
I was lucky enough to see this murre just before I was ready to give up looking for the day. It's rare that this species comes inland, and this one has been giving lots of good looks. Too bad the light was so poor at this point but it was a thrill to see it.
While walking at White Rock beach today, it struck me just how uncommon this white "nuisance" bird might really be: Sibley refers to an entirely white bird (Rock Dove/Common Pigeon) as "scarce" ... I wouldn't have given it a second thought ... until I did!

Marmosets love to play and in many of these shots you will see them foraging for food amongst the leaves or eating corn which the zoo keepers have given them.These common marmosets are very inquisitive and in some of the shots they are looking all around their enclosure for different sounds which they hear, also looking for predators in the sky.They also enjoying looking at the visitors who are looking at them. I just love these little guys and even though I take many photos of them, I also spend time just studying them.
The above shot show little Avi who I think is about 15 months old now.

Apparently Scorpion flies eat dead insects and often steal their prey from the webs of spiders. The female, which fturmog has gratefully told me this is, would eat the male of this species. However, to protect his well being he offers the female a gift of saliva, a bit like a husband giving his wife a box of chocolates (without the threat of being eaten LOL) I suppose.
