I'm very surprised to hear you say that. My experience of Rwanda is that the issue is always just below the surface. I spent three months there 3 years ago working as a Physics teacher. The election was on when I was there and it was rather surreal, the radio was constantly going on about genocide and there was a lot of tension in the air.

Tension and violence are different things. This is still the very recent past, it is unrealistic to expect there to be no tension, especially during times of election or genocide memorials. But there is no denying it is incredibly safe and there has been so much invested in the country in the past 20 years that I just can't imagine anything happening here.
