Rwanda is an ancient nation. No doubt, every government that has exercised control over the Rwanda state during the course of our country’s long history can rightfully be credited for some developments that have been of benefit to its citizens.

Rwanda has long been, and remains, one of the world’s poorest nations and the gap between rich and poor has grown wider with the passage of time. Rwandan society has long been deeply divided by cleavages based on class, ethnicity and region.
