        Kigali can't be #54, I've visited 20 cites in Africa and Kigali by far one of the nicest places I've been to.

        This should be named "Best and worst cities in Africa according to western researchers using western criteria"

        Looking forward to a radio station in Kampala or Yamoussoukro relasing its ranking of best and worst cities in Europe

        it wasn't a radio station doing the ranking. It was research from a university ranked 30th in the world

        What are the criteria for this ranking? Which experts were consulted? How many of them live and work on the African continent?

        @harumutasa So best cities are popular tourists destinations? As usual everything seen from Europeans' eyes - RACIST

        Rankings like this, solely focussing on quantitative indicators without rethinking results qualitatively are always nonsensical.

        Unless I know the criteria used, I don't agree Blantyre being better than Bulawayo in any respect...
