World Race Country #6: Rwanda
Next stop, Africa! Rwanda, a small landlocked country in east-central Africa, is recovering from the ethnic strife that culminated in government-sponsored genocide in the mid-1990s. In the genocide, an estimated 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed by dominant Hutu forces in 100 days. The country has struggled with its legacy of ethnic tension associated with the traditionally unequal relationship between the Tutsi minority and the majority Hutus. Today, Rwanda is striving to rebuild its economy, with coffee and tea production among its main exports. The World Bank has praised Rwanda’s recent “remarkable development successes,” which it says have helped reduce poverty and inequality. While 38% of the population is Christian, the Christian God is considered synonymous with the traditional Rwandan god, Imana, to many. Will you support my team and I as we preach the gospel of love and forgiveness to the people of Rwanda?
