Below is a video on the Rwandan genocide:
Background
To show the proprotionality of Rwanda in comparison to other countries in Africa, it is slightly smaller than Maryand. It is located in central Africa, east of Democratic Republic of Congo. British Imperialism significantly altered Rwanda’s stability. Their influence ultimately granted the Tutis population power over the Hutus, based on selection of similar qualities as the Britsh, eventually resulted in a rebellion of Hutus and an outbreak of a civil war. Rwanda has been slowly making a recovery from the tramatic massacres which were accompanied the genocide after the Rwandan president was shot down. Leaving their already fragile economy in worse conditions.
Current Affairs
Since the drastic ramifications of imperialim, Rwanda has been slowly pregressing towards a democratic nation and intend to restore their country to a stable enviornment and refuse to allow future Hutu control. In 1999, they held their first local elections and its first post-genocide presidential and legislative elections in 2003. Rwanda in 2009 staged a joint military operation with the Congolese Army in DRC to rout out the Hutu extremist insurgency there and Kigali and Kinshasa restored diplomatic relations. Rwanda also joined the Commonwealth in late 2009. The 1994 genocide decimated Rwanda's fragile economic base, severely impoverished the population, particularly women, and temporarily stalled the country's ability to attract private and external investment. However, Rwanda has made substantial progress in stabilizing and rehabilitating its economy to pre-1994 levels. Their main exports, most of which are to Kenya, consist of coffee, tea, hides, tin and ore.
