Rwanda is a small country in east-central Africa. It is bordered by Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Its capital and largest city is Kigali. It has a population of approximately 9 million, and an area of 26,336 km2.
In 1994, Rwanda was the scene of a major modern genocide, when the ethnic group known as Hutus murdered as many as a million Tutsis. Then-President Bill Clinton and US Ambassador to the UN Madeleine Albright refused to take action to stop or slow the genocide.[Citation Needed]
The plight of the Tutsis was dramatized in "Hotel Rwanda".
