Related Weblinks Rwanda Culture International awareness of the two main ethnic groups in Rwanda is unfortunately mainly based on the fact that one tried to wipe out the other in the mid-1990s after a long period of cultural suppression and tribal bitterness. The Hutus, who comprise nearly 90% of Rwanda's population, were originally Bantu-speaking farmers who for most of the past five centuries found themselves under the regal thumbs of the minority Tutsis. A large cross-section of the Hutu tribe was responsible for the attempted genocide of Tutsis and the murders of Hutu moderates in Rwanda in 1994 - in the past, they have themselves been the subject of Tutsi-orchestrated killings in Rwanda and neighbouring Burundi. Tutsis, who make up less than one-fifth of the population, were originally nomadic pastoralists who wandered down into Rwanda in the 16th century and quickly asserted control over the local Hutus. Bolstered by support from Belgian colonialists in the early 20th century, Tutsis continued to rule the ethnic roost until Rwandan independence in 1962. Last but by no means least, the Twa pygmy group - the original inhabitants of Rwanda - make up the remaining 1% of the population. Kinyarwanda is the language most widely spoken in Rwanda, though you won't find it being spoken in any other African countries. English and French are pretty much tied for second place linguistically, though French probably has the

Kigali - Culture Agriculture is by far the dominant economic activity of Rwanda, with more than 81% of the working population in this sector. Agriculture in Rwanda is practiced on very small, family-run farms: 56% of them are less than one hectare. The principle revenue crop is coffee and tea. An unusual crop, but one of which Rwanda is among the first producers in the world, is Pyrethrum - Quinine is another culture grown especially for export. Stock-farming is concentrated in the South and East of the country. Within the last ten years in Rwanda fish farming has undergone rapid development. The potential of riches lying in Rwanda soil are in small quantity cassiterite, walframite, beryl and gold. The craftsmanship has extended to printing, carpentry, silversmith work, wood carving, wrought iron, basketwork, painting, and many others Rwanda land of a thousand hills with capital kigali is a mountainous country at the center of the Great lakes region of central to eastern Africa, near the "Mountains of the Moon," already famous in ancient Greece. Rwanda's elevation ranges from 1,000m (south and east) to 4,500m above sea level. The "thousand hills" terrain is dominated from north to south by a watershed (2.500m high) that separates the basin of the Zaire River from that of the Nile and by the Ibirunga volcano chain, famous for the last remaining mountain gorillas, who found refuge there.

The area of Rwanda is 26,338 sq km (10,169 sq mi). The capital is Kigali.

The population density is 278 persons per sq km (719 per sq mi), making Rwanda one of the most densely populated countries in Africa. The civil war that broke out in Rwanda in 1994 greatly disrupted the ethnic and geographic distribution of the population and caused massive numbers of deaths. However, the country’s density remains high. Rwanda History Back to Top The first known inhabitants of Rwanda were the Twa. The Hutu, probably from the Congo Basin, were well established by the 15th century, when the Tutsi came down from the north and conquered the area. The Tutsi kings, or mwamis, became the absolute monarchs of the region. Their rule was enforced by chiefs and subchiefs, who each ruled an umusozi, a fiefdom that consisted of a single hill. Political and economic relations were based on an unequal feudal relationship, known as the ubuhake system, in which the Hutu became a caste of serfs forced into subjugation and economic dependency by the Tutsi. This caste system was rigidly upheld, and intermarriage was almost nonexistent. A similar feudal system was dominant in Burundi.

home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Rwanda Facts for the Traveler Visas: All foreign nationals bar those from Germany and the USA need a visa to visit Rwanda. A visa arranged in advance of your visit will require US$50 and two passport photos, and will allow you to stay for up to a month; visas of the double or multiple-entry variety are recommended to give you flexibility when it comes to visiting neighbouring countries. But keep in mind that unless you enjoy the prospect of being tied up in red tape and beaten senseless with a manilla folder, it's generally best to organise the visa after you've arrived in East Africa. At the Rwandan border, 15-day visas are issued in a matter of minutes for US$35. Visa extensions of up to 90 days are available at the Ministry of the Interior near Kigali within a day or two of applying (though sometimes much longer) for between US$10-40 depending on the length of the extension. Health risks: Malaria in low-lying regions, cholera, hepatitis, typhoid, HIV, Rift Valley Fever, yellow fever and drinking too much konyagi Time: GMT/UTC + 2 hours.
