Focus on genocide ...
Rwandans have begun voting in the second parliamentary elections since the genocide of 1994.
Polling stations opened at 0400 GMT and a BBC correspondent in the capital, Kigali, reported a lively atmosphere.
President Paul Kagame's Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) is expected to win a large majority in the poll.
Two other parties standing in the election support Mr Kagame, while most opposition movements are in exile and have not presented candidates.
In the previous elections, in 2002, the RPF won almost three-quarters of the vote.
Provisional results are due to be announced on 22 September, with final results expected three days after that.
Some 800,000 people were killed in 100 days during Rwanda's 1994 genocide.
