Rwanda Report


Rwanda is an African country in East Central Africa. Rwanda is just a very
little degrees below the Equator which is not too shabby in my mind. Below the
Equator would be in the south and so it is actually in south central. Get it
South Central (get it)HA!HA! In Rwanda there are about seven hundred and ten
per square which in my mind a whole lot of people I don't think even San
Bernardino has that many but what do I know. Rwanda is twenty six thousand three
hundred and eighty eight miles squared which in my mind is tiny but I'll say
again what do I knows. So to figure out what the exact population of this
measly little country you must multiply seven hundred and ten by twenty six
thousand three hundred and eighty eight and you get a whole lot but when I
looked in the book it said seven million two hundred twenty two thousand people.
This enormous number doesn't look right but I am too lazy too get up and get a
calculator too check so I'll take their word of it. The capital city in Rwanda
is Kigali which is also the biggest city in Rwanda I can't find how big it is
but it must be bigger than twenty miles square and under twenty six thousand
three hundred and thirty eight square miles.

The official name of Rwanda is called The Republic Of Rwanda. Rwanda is also
landlocked which doesn't help much either. Since it is landlocked I will tell
you which countries it is surrounded by on the north it is by Ughanda, on the
east by Tanzanian the south by Burundi and finally on the west it is next to
Zaire. Rwanda is one of the poorest countries in the world and it is one of the
most densely populated country in the world. One of the reasons for Rwanda
being in such a bad state of poverty is that there was a Civil war between the
Hutu and the Tutsi which fought for stupid reasons. Well at least I think that
they are stupid reasons but to them it was probably some serious stuff that
they don't take very lightly. The Hutu are very short people that make up about
ninety two percent of the population. The Hutu are not pygmies but they are
very short people that are about three feet tall a piece which is about two feet
shorter than I am and now that is pretty short in my mind. The Hutu make their
living by being farmers and doing farm related activities which include raising
animals for food. The Tutsi on the other hand are very tall people that make up
about only eight percent of the community of Rwanda. The Tutsi run the
government and some Tutsi are also herders that heard cattle and goats. The war
between them that they had was about religion, height and about well I guess
you can call it pride. This war actually started though with the Hutu rebelling
from the Tutsi and well it went crazy from there with two million people
leaving and a gory blood bath with thousands and thousands of people dying.
The Tutsi had the most casualties on their side even though they outheighted if
that is even a word the Hutu by about well a good three feet or so.
