Governed as a presidential republic, Rwanda’s political landscape involves a dominant party system led by the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), headed by President Paul Kagame, who has been instrumental in the country’s transformation. The economy has witnessed steady growth, with sectors such as agriculture, services, and information technology contributing significantly. Kigali, the capital, is a clean and vibrant city showcasing modern infrastructure and green initiatives. Rwanda’s cultural identity is shaped by its Banyarwanda heritage, with traditions, music, and events like the Kwita Izina gorilla-naming ceremony playing key roles. As Rwanda seeks to move beyond the tragic events of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi, the government has prioritized national unity, reconciliation, and socio-economic development. The nation has made strides in gender equality, environmental conservation, and healthcare, although challenges such as political restrictions and human rights concerns persist. Rwanda actively participates in regional organizations, including the East African Community (EAC), contributing to peacekeeping efforts and regional stability.
