Rwanda, a small landlocked country in East Africa, has a population of about 13 million people. Its people are called Rwandans. The nation is mainly made up of three ethnic groups: Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa. Kinyarwanda is the national language, alongside French, English, and Swahili. Rwandan culture emphasizes community, respect, and reconciliation, especially following the tragic 1994 genocide. Traditional dance, music, and storytelling play important roles in daily life. Christianity is the dominant religion, often mixed with indigenous beliefs. Rwanda is known for its stunning landscapes, including volcanoes and lakes, and for conservation efforts like protecting mountain gorillas.
