Rwanda Culture & History; Rwanda is one of the stronghold countries in Africa with a deep linguistic coherence among its people.
It entirely consists of three main tribes; the Tutsis, Hutus, and the Twa but all speak the same language called Kinyarwanda.
These three tribes can be identified probably basing on their physical build but they have a strong coloration in terms of values of religion and are averagely spread in the entire territory.
However they have deep political differences that are believed to have resulted in the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
Rwanda culture is not only shaped by the settlers of the land but also the refugees in the diaspora more especially in the adjacent countries of Uganda and Congo who still draw much of their attachment to their mother country – Rwanda. READ MORE
