Rwanda: After the
Struggle for Peace
Mid-1990’s
slaughter
wiped out 10
percent of the
population
In the middle of Africa rests
Rwanda, a country with a popula
tion o f about eight to 10 million
people, about the sam e as the
greater Los Angeles area. Currently,
the country is in the spotlight over
a violent uprising a decade ago.
The new motion picture, “Hotel
Rwanda” is about the genocide that
killed a million people during a three-
month period o f 1994.
Six hundred years ago, Tutsi
warriors and pigmies overran Hutu
settlers in this extremely small coun
try. Since that time, the Tutsis and
Hutus have continually struggled
for control. W hile F rench and
Kinyarwanda, are considered the
tw o o ffic ia l la n g u a g e s, m o st
R w a n d a n s s p e a k th e B a n tu
K inyarw anda. O nly a sm all num
ber o f E uropeans still reside in
the country.
Ninety-five out o f every 100
people in Rwanda are farmers. Most
farming in Rw anda is sustenance.
Entire families work a small piece of
land and barely get enough to even
feed themselves. On larger farms
and plantations, enough food is
produced to be sold in markets and
exported out o f the country. These
products include bananas, coffee,
tea, beans, cassava, sorghum, and
sweet potatoes, Py rethrum, a chem i
cal used in making insecticides, is
also a major export of Rwanda.
Tin and w olfram ite, a m ajor
so u rc e o f tu n g s te n , a re th e
country's chief mineral products,
which m ake around a quarter o f the
country ’ s exports. Coffee and m in
ing make up close to two-thirds of
Rw anda’s international exports.
T oday, the religious mix has
changed co nsiderably. Since in
dependence from E uropean c o n
trol, the C h ristian p o p ulation has
d ropped to 65 percent. M uslim s
account for around 10 p ercent
and tribal religions are around 25
percent.
