Country in East Africa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rwanda is a small landlocked sovereign country located in East Africa, bordered by Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1] Home to approximately 14 million people, Rwanda supports the densest population in continental Africa, with most of the population engaged in subsistence agriculture. A verdant country of fertile and hilly terrain, the small republic bears the title "Land of a Thousand Hills". The country attracted international concern for the infamous Rwandan genocide of 1994.
