盧安達共和國

位於東非的內陸國家。曾爆發震驚全球的盧安達大屠殺,近80萬人在衝突中喪生,也同時埋下剛果民主共和國(簡稱民主剛果)和盧安達的衝突種子。盧安達認為部分反叛組織躲藏到民主剛果裡,對盧安達的安全構成威脅。而民主剛果也指控盧安達政府包庇圖西族武裝組織。雙方在2022年仍持續僵持不下,甚至在邊境互相砲擊。
2022年,英國和盧安達達成協議,將部分非法逃到英國的難民轉送至盧安達,盧安達也因此獲得1.2億英鎊的安置補貼。此協議被人權組織大為詬病,時任英國首相強森亦受到相當大的批評。

A land-locked state in East Africa, Rwanda's population density is close to that of Taiwan. The population are mainly Hutu and Tutsi. In 1990, a civil war broke out and the Hutu led a military coup which overthrew the Tutsi monarchy. In 1994, the Hutu began carrying out genocide against the Tutsi. Nearly 800,000 people were killed on both sides during this gruesome conflict. This important historical event is called the Rwandan genocide. Now even though the country has put the gloom of the mass killings behind it, economic development is still stagnant with a GDP per capita of a mere USD823, ranking among the lowest in the world. In 2020, the proportion of seats held by women in Rwanda's parliament was the highest in the world. 49 out of 80 seats were held by women.
