Rwanda,
Rwanda has been governed by the RPF as a de facto
Rwanda's economy is based mostly on subsistence agriculture. Coffee and tea are the major cash crops in Rwanda to export. Tourism is a fast-growing sector and is now the country's leading foreign exchange earner. The country is a member of the African Union, the United Nations, the Commonwealth of Nations, COMESA, OIF and the East African Community.
History
Modern human settlement of what is now Rwanda dates from, at the latest, the
The earliest form of social organisation in the area was the
The Berlin Conference of 1884 assigned the territory to the German Empire, who declared it to be part of German East Africa. In 1894, explorer Gustav Adolf von Götzen was the first European to cross the entire territory of Rwanda; he crossed from the south-east to Lake Kivu and met the king.[33][34] In 1897, Germany established a presence in Rwanda with the formation of an alliance with the king, beginning the colonial era.[35] The Germans did not significantly alter the social structure of the country, but exerted influence by supporting the king and the existing hierarchy, and delegating power to local chiefs.[36][37] Belgian forces invaded Rwanda and Burundi in 1916, during World War I, and later, in 1922, they started to rule both Rwanda and Burundi as a League of Nations mandate called Ruanda-Urundi and started a period of more direct colonial rule.[38] The Belgians simplified and centralised the power structure,[39] introduced large-scale projects in education, health, public works, and agricultural supervision, including new crops and improved agricultural techniques to try to reduce the incidence of famine.[40] Both the Germans and the Belgians, in the wake of New Imperialism, promoted Tutsi supremacy, considering the Hutu and Tutsi different races.[41] In 1935, Belgium introduced an identity card system, which labelled each individual as either Tutsi, Hutu, Twa or Naturalised. While it had been previously possible for particularly wealthy Hutu to become honorary Tutsi, the identity cards prevented any further movement between the classes.[42]
Belgium continued to rule
In 1990, the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), a rebel group composed of Tutsi refugees, invaded northern Rwanda from their base in Uganda, initiating the Rwandan Civil War.[54] The group condemned the Hutu-dominated government for failing to democratize and confront the problems facing these refugees. Neither side was able to gain a decisive advantage in the war,[55] but by 1992 it had weakened Habyarimana's authority; mass demonstrations forced him into a coalition with the domestic opposition and eventually to sign the 1993 Arusha Accords with the RPF.[56] The cease-fire ended on 6 April 1994 when Habyarimana's plane was shot down near Kigali Airport, killing him.[57] The shooting down of the plane served as the catalyst for the Rwandan genocide, which began within a few hours. Over the course of approximately 100 days, between 500,000 and 1,000,000[58] Tutsi and politically moderate Hutu were killed in well-planned attacks on the orders of the interim government.[59] Many Twa were also killed, despite not being directly targeted.[52]
The Tutsi RPF restarted their offensive, and took control of the country methodically, gaining control of the whole country by mid-July.
In 2009, Rwanda joined the Commonwealth of Nations although the country was never part of the British Empire.
Politics and government
Rwanda is a de facto one-party state[2][3][4][5][6][7] ruled by the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) and its leader Paul Kagame continuously since the end of the civil war in 1994.[71][72] Although Rwanda is nominally democratic, elections are manipulated in various ways, which include banning opposition parties, arresting or assassinating critics, and electoral fraud.[73] The RPF is a Tutsi-dominated party but receives support from other communities as well.[74]
The constitution was adopted following a national referendum in 2003, replacing the transitional constitution which had been in place since 1994.
Rwanda's legal system is largely based on German and Belgian civil law systems and customary law.[70] The judiciary is independent of the executive branch,[87] although the president and the Senate are involved in the appointment of Supreme Court judges.[88] Human Rights Watch have praised the Rwandan government for progress made in the delivery of justice including the abolition of the death penalty,[89] but also allege interference in the judicial system by members of the government, such as the politically motivated appointment of judges, misuse of prosecutorial power, and pressure on judges to make particular decisions.[90] The constitution provides for two types of courts: ordinary and specialised.[91] Ordinary courts are the Supreme Court, the High Court, and regional courts, while specialised courts are military courts[91] and a system of commercial courts created in 2011 to expedite commercial litigations.[92] Between 2004 and 2012, a system of Gacaca courts was in operation.[93] Gacaca, a Rwandan traditional court operated by villages and communities, was revived to expedite the trials of genocide suspects.[94] The court succeeded in clearing the backlog of genocide cases, but was criticised by human rights groups as not meeting legal fair standard.[95]
Rwanda has low corruption levels relative to most other African countries; in 2014, Transparency International ranked Rwanda as the fifth cleanest out of 47 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and 55th cleanest out of 175 in the world.[96][97] The constitution provides for an ombudsman, whose duties include prevention and fighting of corruption.[98][99] Public officials (including the president) are required by the constitution to declare their wealth to the ombudsman and to the public; those who do not comply are suspended from office.[100] Despite this, Human Rights Watch notes extensive political repression throughout the country, including illegal and arbitrary detention, threats or other forms of intimidation, disappearances, politically motivated trials, and the massacre of peacefully protesting civilians.[101]
Rwanda is a member of the
Administrative divisions
Before western colonization, the Rwandan government system had a quasi-system of political pluralism and power sharing. [119] Despite there being a strict hierarchy, the pre-colonial system achieved an established, combined system of "centralized power and decentralized autonomous units." Under the monarch, the elected Chief governed a province that was divided into multiple districts. Two other officials appointed by head Chief governed the districts; one official was allocated power over the land while the other oversaw cattle. The king (mwami) exercised control through a system of provinces, districts, hills, and neighbourhoods.[120] As of 2003, the constitution divided Rwanda into provinces (intara), districts (uturere), cities, municipalities, towns, sectors (imirenge), cells (utugari), and villages (imidugudu); the larger divisions, and their borders, are established by Parliament.[121] In January 2006, Rwanda was reorganized such that twelve provinces were merged to create five, and 106 districts were merged into thirty.[122] The present borders drawn in 2006 aimed at decentralising power and removing associations with the old system and the genocide. The previous structure of twelve provinces associated with the largest cities was replaced with five provinces based primarily on geography.[123] These are Northern Province, Southern Province, Eastern Province, Western Province, and the Municipality of Kigali in the centre.
The five provinces act as intermediaries between the national government and their constituent districts to ensure that national policies are implemented at the district level. The Rwanda Decentralisation Strategic Framework developed by the Ministry of Local Government assigns to provinces the responsibility for "coordinating governance issues in the Province, as well as monitoring and evaluation".[124] Each province is headed by a governor, appointed by the president and approved by the Senate.[125] The districts are responsible for coordinating public service delivery and economic development. They are divided into sectors, which are responsible for the delivery of public services as mandated by the districts.[126] Districts and sectors have directly elected councils, and are run by an executive committee selected by that council.[127] The cells and villages are the smallest political units, providing a link between the people and the sectors.[126] All adult resident citizens are members of their local cell council, from which an executive committee is elected.[127] The city of Kigali is a provincial-level authority, which coordinates urban planning within the city.[124]
Geography
At 26,338 square kilometres (10,169 sq mi), Rwanda is the world's 149th-largest country,
The
Mountains dominate central and western Rwanda and the country is sometimes called "Pays des mille collines" in French ("Land of a thousand hills").[137] They are part of the Albertine Rift Mountains that flank the Albertine branch of the East African Rift, which runs from north to south along Rwanda's western border.[138] The highest peaks are found in the Virunga volcano chain in the northwest; this includes Mount Karisimbi, Rwanda's highest point, at 4,507 metres (14,787 ft).[139] This western section of the country lies within the Albertine Rift montane forests ecoregion.[138] It has an elevation of 1,500 to 2,500 metres (4,921 to 8,202 ft).[140] The centre of the country is predominantly rolling hills, while the eastern border region consists of savanna, plains and swamps.[141]

Biodiversity
In prehistoric times
The greatest diversity of large mammals is found in the three national parks, which are designated conservation areas.
Rwanda's population of lions was destroyed in the aftermath of the genocide of 1994, as national parks were turned into camps for displaced people and the remaining animals were poisoned by cattle herders. In June 2015, two South African parks donated seven lions to Akagera National Park, reestablishing a lion population in Rwanda.[156] The lions were held initially in a fenced-off area of the park, and then collared and released into the wild a month later.[157]
Eighteen endangered black rhinos were brought to Rwanda in 2017 from South Africa.[158] After positive results, five more black rhinos were delivered to Akagera National Park from zoos all over Europe in 2019.[159]
Similarly, the white rhino population is growing in Rwanda. In 2021, Rwanda received 30 white rhinos from South Africa with the goal of Akagera being a safe breeding ground for the near-threatened species.[160][161]
There are 670 bird species in Rwanda, with variation between the east and the west.[162] Nyungwe Forest, in the west, has 280 recorded species, of which 26 are endemic to the Albertine Rift;[162] endemic species include the Rwenzori turaco and handsome spurfowl.[163] Eastern Rwanda, by contrast, features savanna birds such as the black-headed gonolek and those associated with swamps and lakes, including storks and cranes.[162]
Recent entomological work in the country has revealed a rich diversity of
Rwanda contains three terrestrial ecoregions:
Economy
Rwanda's economy suffered heavily during the 1994 genocide, with widespread loss of life, failure to maintain infrastructure, looting, and neglect of important cash crops. This caused a large drop in GDP and destroyed the country's ability to attract private and external investment.
Rwanda is a country of few natural resources,[130] and the economy is based mostly on subsistence agriculture by local farmers using simple tools.[173] An estimated 90% of the working population farms, and agriculture constituted an estimated 32.5% of GDP in 2014.[70] Farming techniques are basic, with small plots of land and steep slopes.[174] Since the mid-1980s, farm sizes and food production have been decreasing, due in part to the resettlement of displaced people.[175][130] Despite Rwanda's fertile ecosystem, food production often does not keep pace with population growth, and food imports are required.[70] However, in recent years with the growth of agriculture, the situation has improved.[176]
Subsistence crops grown in the country include matoke (green bananas), which occupy more than a third of the country's farmland,[174] potatoes, beans, sweet potatoes, cassava, wheat and maize.[174] Coffee and tea are the major cash crops for export, with the high altitudes, steep slopes and volcanic soils providing favourable conditions.[174] Reports have established that more than 400,000 Rwandans make their living from coffee plantation.[178] Reliance on agricultural exports makes Rwanda vulnerable to shifts in their prices.[179] Animals raised in Rwanda include cows, goats, sheep, pigs, chicken, and rabbits, with geographical variation in the numbers of each.[180] Production systems are mostly traditional, although there are a few intensive dairy farms around Kigali.[180] Shortages of land and water, insufficient and poor-quality feed, and regular disease epidemics with insufficient veterinary services are major constraints that restrict output. Fishing takes place on the country's lakes, but stocks are very depleted, and live fish are being imported in an attempt to revive the industry.[181]
The industrial sector is small, contributing 14.8% of GDP in 2014.[70] Products manufactured include cement, agricultural products, small-scale beverages, soap, furniture, shoes, plastic goods, textiles and cigarettes.[70] Rwanda's mining industry is an important contributor, generating US$93 million in 2008.[182] Minerals mined include cassiterite, wolframite, gold, and coltan, which is used in the manufacture of electronic and communication devices such as mobile phones.[182][183]

Media and communications
The largest radio and television stations are state-run, and the majority of newspapers are owned by the government.[191] Most Rwandans have access to radio; during the 1994 genocide, the radio station Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines broadcast across the country, and helped to fuel the killings through anti-Tutsi propaganda.[191] As of 2015[update], the state-run Radio Rwanda is the largest station and the main source of news throughout the country.[191] Television access is limited, with most homes not having their own set.[192] The government rolled out digital television in 2014, and a year later there were seven national stations operating, up from just one in the pre-2014 analogue era.[193] The press is tightly restricted, and newspapers routinely self-censor to avoid government reprisals.[191] Nonetheless, publications in Kinyarwanda, English, and French critical of the government are widely available in Kigali. Restrictions were increased in the run-up to the Rwandan presidential election of 2010, with two independent newspapers, Umuseso and Umuvugizi, being suspended for six months by the High Media Council.[194]

Infrastructure
This section needs to be updated. The reason given is: Sanitation access statistics are from 2006.(March 2023) |
The Rwandan government prioritised funding of water supply development during the 2000s, significantly increasing its share of the national budget.[207] This funding, along with donor support, caused a rapid increase in access to safe water; in 2015, 74% of the population had access to safe water,[208] up from about 55% in 2005;[207] the government has committed to increasing this to 100% by 2017.[208] The country's water infrastructure consists of urban and rural systems that deliver water to the public, mainly through standpipes in rural areas and private connections in urban areas. In areas not served by these systems, hand pumps and managed springs are used.[209] Despite rainfall exceeding 750 millimetres (30 in) annually in most of the country,[210] little use is made of rainwater harvesting, and residents are forced to use water very sparingly, relative to usage in other African countries.[208] Access to sanitation remains low; the United Nations estimates that in 2006, 34% of urban and 20% of rural dwellers had access to improved sanitation.[211] Kigali is one of the cleanest cities in Africa.[212] Government policy measures to improve sanitation are limited, focusing only on urban areas.[211] The majority of the population, both urban and rural, use public shared pit latrines.[211]

As of 2015[update], the
At 445 inhabitants per square kilometre (1,150/sq mi),[229] Rwanda's population density is amongst the highest in Africa.[234] Historians such as Gérard Prunier believe that the 1994 genocide can be partly attributed to the population density.[53] The population is predominantly rural, with a few large towns; dwellings are evenly spread throughout the country.[235] The only sparsely populated area of the country is the savanna land in the former province of Umutara and Akagera National Park in the east.[236] Kigali is the largest city, with a population of around one million.[237] Its rapidly increasing population challenges its infrastructural development.[70][238][239] According to the 2012 census, the second largest city is Gisenyi, which lies adjacent to Lake Kivu and the Congolese city of Goma, and has a population of 126,000.[240] Other major towns include Ruhengeri, Butare, and Muhanga, all with populations below 100,000.[240] The urban population rose from 6% of the population in 1990,[238] to 16.6% in 2006;[241] by 2011, however, the proportion had dropped slightly, to 14.8%.[241]
Rwanda has been a unified state since pre-colonial times,
Education
Prior to 2012, the Rwandan government provided free education in state-run schools for nine years: six years in primary and three years following a common secondary programme.
Health
The quality of healthcare in Rwanda has historically been very low, both before and immediately after the 1994 genocide.[262] In 1998, more than one in five children died before their fifth birthday,[263] often from malaria.[264]
President Kagame has made healthcare one of the priorities for the Vision 2020 development programme,[265] boosting spending on health care to 6.5% of the country's gross domestic product in 2013,[266] compared with 1.9% in 1996.[267] The government has devolved the financing and management of healthcare to local communities, through a system of health insurance providers called mutuelles de santé.[268] The mutuelles were piloted in 1999, and were made available nationwide by the mid-2000s, with the assistance of international development partners.[268] Premiums under the scheme were initially US$2 per annum; since 2011 the rate has varied on a sliding scale, with the poorest paying nothing, and maximum premiums rising to US$8 per adult.[269] As of 2014[update], more than 90% of the population was covered by the scheme.[270] The government has also set up training institutes including the Kigali Health Institute (KHI), which was established in 1997[271] and is now part of the University of Rwanda. In 2005, President Kagame also launched a program known as The Presidents' Malaria Initiative.[272] This initiative aimed to help get the most necessary materials for prevention of malaria to the most rural areas of Rwanda, such as mosquito nets and medication.
In recent years Rwanda has seen improvement on a number of key health indicators. Between 2005 and 2013, life expectancy increased from 55.2 to 64.0,[273] under-5 mortality decreased from 106.4 to 52.0 per 1,000 live births,[274] and incidence of tuberculosis has dropped from 101 to 69 per 100,000 people.[275] The country's progress in healthcare has been cited by the international media and charities. The Atlantic devoted an article to "Rwanda's Historic Health Recovery".[276] Partners In Health described the health gains "among the most dramatic the world has seen in the last 50 years".[269]
Despite these improvements, however, the country's health profile remains dominated by communicable diseases,[277] and the United States Agency for International Development has described "significant health challenges",[278] including the rate of maternal mortality, which it describes as "unacceptably high",[278] as well as the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic.[278] According to the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, travellers to Rwanda are highly recommended to take preventive malaria medication as well as make sure they are up to date with vaccines such as yellow fever.[279]
Rwanda also has a shortage of medical professionals, with only 0.84 physicians, nurses, and midwives per 1,000 residents.[280] The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is monitoring the country's health progress towards Millennium Development Goals 4–6, which relate to healthcare. A mid-2015 UNDP report noted that the country was not on target to meet goal 4 on infant mortality, despite it having "fallen dramatically";[281] the country is "making good progress" towards goal 5, which is to reduce by three quarters the maternal mortality ratio,[282] while goal 6 is not yet met as HIV prevalence has not started falling.[283]
Religion
The largest faith in Rwanda is
Languages
The country's principal and national language is Kinyarwanda, which is virtually spoken by the entire country (98%).[287] The major European languages during the colonial era were German, though it was never taught or widely used, and then French, which was introduced by Belgium from 1916 and remained an official and widely spoken language after independence in 1962.[288] Dutch was spoken as well. The return of English-speaking Rwandan refugees in the 1990s[288] added a new dimension to the country's language policy,[289] and the repositioning of Rwanda as a member of the East African Community has since increased the importance of English; the medium of education was switched from French to English in 2008.[287] Kinyarwanda, English, French, and Swahili are all official languages.[290] Kinyarwanda is the national language while English is the primary medium of instruction in secondary and tertiary education. Swahili, the lingua franca of the East African Community,[291] is also spoken by some as a second language, particularly returned refugees from Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and those who live along the border with the DRC.[292] In 2015, Swahili was introduced as a mandatory subject in secondary schools.[291] Inhabitants of Rwanda's Nkombo Island speak Mashi, a language closely related to Kinyarwanda.[293]
French was spoken by slightly under 6% of the population according to the 2012 census and the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie.[294] English was reported to be spoken by 15% of the population in 2009, though the same report found the proportion of French-speakers to be 68%.[287] Swahili is spoken by fewer than 1%.[295]
Human rights
Homosexuality is generally considered a taboo topic, and there is no significant public discussion of this issue in any region of the country. Some lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Rwandans have reported being harassed and blackmailed.[296][297][298] Same-sex sexual activity is not specifically illegal in Rwanda. Some cabinet-level government officials have expressed support for the rights of LGBT people;[299] however, no special legislative protections are afforded to LGBT people,[297] who may be arrested by the police under various laws dealing with public order and morality.[298] Same-sex marriages are not recognized by the state, as the constitution provides that "[o]nly civil monogamous marriage between a man and a woman is recognized".[300]
Since 2006, Human Rights Watch has documented that Rwandan authorities round up and detain street children, street vendors, sex workers, homeless people, and beggars, as well as the use of torture in safe houses and other facilities, such as Kami military camp, Kwa Gacinya and Gikondo prison.[301]
Culture
Traditional arts and crafts are produced throughout the country, although most originated as functional items rather than purely for decoration. Woven baskets and bowls are especially common, notably the basket style of the agaseke.[308] Imigongo, a unique cow dung art, is produced in the southeast of Rwanda, with a history dating back to when the region was part of the independent Gisaka kingdom. The dung is mixed with natural soils of various colours and painted into patterned ridges to form geometric shapes.[309] Other crafts include pottery and wood carving.[310] Traditional housing styles make use of locally available materials; circular or rectangular mud homes with grass-thatched roofs (known as nyakatsi) are the most common. The government has initiated a programme to replace these with more modern materials such as corrugated iron.[311][312]
Rwanda does not have a long history of written literature, but there is a strong oral tradition ranging from poetry to
Fourteen regular national holidays are observed throughout the year,[317] with others occasionally inserted by the government. The week following Genocide Memorial Day on 7 April is designated an official week of mourning.[318] The victory for the RPF over the Hutu extremists is celebrated as Liberation Day on 4 July. The last Saturday of each month is umuganda, a national morning of mandatory community service lasting from 8 am to 11 am, during which all able bodied people between 18 and 65 are expected to carry out community tasks such as cleaning streets or building homes for vulnerable people.[319] Most normal services close down during umuganda, and public transportation is limited.[319]
