By Itai Madamombe, United Nations Africa Renewal (www.un.org/AR)"Late one night, Jean Leonard Karuranga heard a commotion outside his house in Kigali, Rwanda. There were loud voices and then a sharp cry. Too scared to venture outside alone, Mr. Karuranga used his mobile phone to call a local security group that protects the neighbourhood from marauding gangsters.
“The defence force found my cousin bleeding right outside my gate. Thugs had stabbed and robbed him,” he said. “We rushed him to the hospital just in time. If I didn’t have a cell phone, we would be talking of something else. He was saved by the mobile phone.”"
