Read what Rwandans have to say about Rwanda:

“Rwanda is a country of hills, mountains, forests and lakes, laughing children, markets of busy people, drummers, dancers, artisans and craftsmen.  We manage to squeeze thousands of hills and eight million people into our 26,338 square kilometres.  Our land is rich and fertile, the climate is pleasant.  This has been our home for centuries.  We are one people.  We speak one language.  We have one history.”

“In recent times, though, genocide has cast a dark shadow over our lives and torn us apart.  This is a bitter part of our lives, but we must remember for those who were lost, and for the sake of the future.”
