Rwanda

Rwanda, officially the Republic of Rwanda, is a small landlocked country in the Great Lakes region of east-central Africa, with a population of approximately 9 million. It is bordered by Uganda, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tanzania. It comprises fertile and hilly terrain, which gives it the title "Land of a Thousand Hills" (French: Pays des Mille Collines) ("Igihugu cy'Imisozi Igihumbi" in Kinyarwanda), supports the densest populations in continental Africa. The country is well known to the outside world for the infamous 1994 genocide that resulted in the deaths of up to 800,000 people. Dependence on subsistence agriculture, high (and increasing) population density, decreasing soil fertility and uncertain climate make Rwanda a country where chronic malnutrition is widespread and poverty endemic.
