Rwanda is a small, landlocked country located in East Africa, known for its stunning landscapes and mountainous terrain. It is often referred to as the "Land of a Thousand Hills" due to its rolling hills and scenic views. The capital city is Kigali, which serves as the political and economic center of the country. Rwanda has a population of about 13 million people, primarily consisting of the Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups. The country has made significant progress since the tragic events of the 1994 genocide, focusing on unity, development, and economic growth. Today, Rwanda is recognized for its efforts in conservation, particularly with the endangered mountain gorillas in the Virunga Mountains.
