Map of Rwanda

Rwanda, once known for its sweeping mountain views and indigenous mountain gorillas, is now most identified by murder and violence. In the mid-1990s Rwanda was home to the worst humanitarian crisis since World War II. In just three months some one million people were murdered, and millions more fled the country. In recent years, Rwanda has begun the slow process of rebuilding. Many refugees are returning to the country as the government continues to stabilize.
