The republic of Rwanda, established on July 1st, 1962, is, among the new states of Africa, one of the most dynamic and of the most interesting in all respects. His population, about 3 million inhabitants, is spread on a rather small territory, which gives him of this fact a density which we do not often see somewhere else. His capital is Kigali.
In the pavilion of Rwanda, you will notice that the economy of the country is especially agricultural. We make it the culture of groundnuts, beans, corn, etc. The breeding of the cattle and the export of cassitérite are important elements of the economy of this new country.
Neighbour of the Lake Victoria, Rwanda enjoys a rather pleasant climate. The tourists return usually enchanted with their stay in Rwanda.
