So far, your photos of Kigali reminds me a lot of my sister's trip to Nicaragua, and both places look a bit like Taiwan or the Philippines in the early 1980s. There's almost an odd global tropical monoculture. I think even in the US, if you go off the tourist path and into some of the smaller villages in Hawaii, they look a bit like this too.
That does make sense. There is certainly enough global interaction for the simplest and cheapest technology for this sort of climate to have spread worldwide via traders etc., and probably much of the wiring, corrugated Tin, etc., get shipped worldwide too. Begin the most popular makes it the cheapest, which makes it the most popular, ... ah the sweet scent of inevitability. :-)
But more and more high tech/modern interspersed amongst this as the area becomes more affluent. Unfortunately also including more and more building around cars here. It'll never be like the narrow streets of Paris, for example.

Cause for much thought.
