Rwanda is an inland East African country. It's covered with green mountains landscapes.` It's renowned Volcanoes National Park is home to mountain gorillas and golden monkeys. Rwanda's population isn't very advance with many rural areas. It has one of the highest population densities among Africa, and much of its population is part of one cultural group called the Banyarwanda.  The Banyarwandans are split into 3 groups called the Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa. These three groups are basically their ways living and Christianity was the main religion in the area and Rwanda is a presidential country, so they have an elected president. Unlike countries near Rwanda, it has a low corruption rate and has better women's rights than most rural African countries. The Rwandan genocide began on April 7, 1994, when the Hutu government started killing people who were Tutsi because they had a sudden spike in their population, and the Hutu were scared that the Tutsi would enslave them all. The Hutu who had slightly better technology, began a mass killing of the Tutsi, which lead to the deaths of 800,000 people in the Rwanda Genocide.

The people were classified into three main groups - the Tutsi's, Hutu's, and Twa's. The Tutsi's were people who owned a lot of cattle, and the Hutu's were everybody else. The Hutus were us and the Tutsi's were them.The Twa's were small groups of hunters that lived in Rwanda. The division between the Hutus and Tutsis stems from way back when the Cushite (Tutsis) first conquered the Bantu (Hutus) and established themselves as rulers, an elite class  a cut above.The colonists came and further emphasized this divide by stating that the Tutsis are more European because of their physical qualities.When the colonists left, they left the Hutus in power. The Hutus, full of resentment, have placed themselves above the Tutsis, creating a whole new divide.
