Rwanda

Rwanda's population is divided among Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa, distinctions the post-genocide government has officially de-emphasized in favor of a unified national identity. Kinyarwanda, English, French, and Swahili are official languages.

Christianity is the dominant faith, with a Muslim minority and traditional beliefs.

Society

Rwanda has a young, densely settled population and has made dramatic gains in health, education, and women's representation — among the world's highest in parliament — though political freedoms are limited.
