  KIGALI: Two days after Ethiopia announced one of the world's few "gender-balanced" cabinets with 50 percent women, Rwanda has done the same.
  Ethiopia's move this week was the latest in a series of dramatic political and economic reforms under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, who took office in April.
  Abiy reportedly told lawmakers that women are less corrupt than men.
  "A higher number of women in decision-making roles have led to a decrease in gender discrimination and gender-based crimes," Rwandan President Paul Kagame said Friday in remarks to judicial officials.
