It is now three hours after the last minute of the year 2011 clocked and Rwandans are still walking to and from on streets of Kigali City celebrating to begin New Year 2012.
When the last minute of 2012 clocked the city got filled with voices from every corner as Rwandans jubilated.
Sounds of music from almost every door, churches, and Bars polluted the air as motorcycles gained momentum of hurrying different passengers to their respective destinations.
Police patrol on alert driving on every road keeping order as usual and others deployed on some particular locations that would have ciaos while letting people shouting and jubilating for putting back the old year.
Different Christians in their respective churches sunk into praise and worship thanking God to enable them pass through 2011 and praying for guidance in the next year ahead of them.
Different cycles of friends stood on road sides as they shared joy of completing 2011 and entering 2012.
Some drunkards dancing in the middle of road while others were shouting at the top of their voices.
Some sat steady in their seats in different ordering for more beers while others calling it off to go and sleep.
Families have had time to share great moments together relaxed either in some joints, places of worship and their own homes.
Almost everybody left indoors include old people, boys and girls, women and men, joining their long time friends to celebrate in their own styles.
Different local and regional artists have thrilled their funs in different well distributed concerts in different joints, some sponsored by hotels, or bars to entertain their customers while others launching their albums.
The East African Promoters have organized the East African Party at the Expo Ground in Gikondo attracting superstars in the region.
The party kicked off at 7p.m. where lots of funs have gone to have time with their idols not minding tickets sold at Rwf2000 (ordinary section) and Rwf5000 (VIP section).
