Description
Rwanda is often cited as not only an example of post-conflict recovery but as a model for economic development, education, the environment, gender equality and women empowerment, health, peacekeeping operations, and military diplomacy. However, this success is threatened by the difficult security environment in the central/eastern region of Africa: its western neighbor, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), is embroiled in seemingly endless wars with more than one hundred militia in its eastern region bordering Rwanda, including a group called FDLR, which was founded by perpetrators of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi and has threatened to return to Rwanda to "finish the job."
Historical Dictionary of Rwanda, Third Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, an extensive bibliography, and more than 400 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country's politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Rwanda.
