Etymology & History of Rwanda -
The most ancient inhabitants of this land was the Twa Pygmies and afterwards several other local tribal groups came and mixed with mainstream population of this nation. During the 16th century, the natives of this land had witnessed feudalism and its several impacts. The ‘Mwami-kingdom’ had ruled over this entire region for a considerable amount of time. Then this place became the victim of colonial dominance that is quite similar to all African countries. The greedy German captured and exploited this country from the later part of the 19th century. But Germans besides exploiting, also did some urban development to this place. But after the 2nd World War this place became a possession of Belgium. Belgium government boosted the Tutsi military power over the large and innocent Hutu population that had ultimately caused that mass-murder of Tutsis in 1959. Thus this place has seen numerous historical ups and downs over the years.

The political turmoil has always been the part of Rwanda right from the time of its independence and Hutu extreme part is banned in this country.

Then in 2000, he became the president of Rwanda by the support of the parliament. Afterwards the country has been following a new constitution and this government is trying hard to condemn any sort of illegal political activity, racism or any attack on religion. Here the Senate has 26 members and a minimum of the parliament should represent female candidates.
