Rwanda: Rebuilding of a Nation

This is a story that takes the reader through a sweeping panorama of Rwanda’s
history, from its recent past as a near failed state to its present as a beacon of
hope and successful innovations. Rwanda’s rise from the ashes detailed in this
book is the culmination of a visionary and laborious process of rebuilding a
nation from the brink of collapse. It is also a story of reconciling a people that
had been taught to see each other as enemies. Twenty years ago, the world
wrote off Rwanda after the worst genocide in recent times left over one million
of its people dead and another three million in refugee camps in neighbouring
countries. The country was broken in every way possible – socially, culturally,
economically and politically. Today, Rwanda has been rebuilt and has become
a respectable country, receiving many international accolades for its
extraordinary leadership and achievements.
